Everything just gets better in Summer, the days are longer, the weather is heavenly and a major bonus is that you can now have outdoor or semi-outdoor parties. When hosting a summer party (or any party for that matter) it’s always fun to try out new ideas that will ensure that you are the coolest host on the block who will have have your guests excited and enjoying the party.

We’ve rounded up a few ideas that will easily take your party from a 6 to a 10!  

1. Keeping your drinks as cold as possible should be one of the main priorities – add a quirky detail to the celebration and make your own beer barrow. We can’t think of a better way to use your wheel barrow to its full potential!

2. Popsicles are one of Summer’s most precious gifts and they shouldn’t be reserved to be enjoyed only at kiddies parties. Get creative and enjoy your wine in the form of a popsicle. Make your mixture as per normal, simply substitute some of the liquids for liquor.

Nah sebagai peneman Low Carb Cauliflower Creamed Spinach, yuk bikin Popsicles aja. Dijamin anak2 pasti sukaa ?? Bahan-bahan bisa didapetin di Talli Bhumi ya! Tinggal kontak nomer dan link di bio ?? . • Grab and Go Green Smoothie Popsicles • . Ingredients: . • cup ¼ cashews • 1 kiwi fruit roughly chopped • 1 cup chopped pineapple • 2 cups spinach • 1 cup mint leaves • cup ½ cottage cheese or silken tofu* • cup ½ coconut milk • Juice 1 lemon • Juice 1 lime • Coconut or maple syrup (optional) . Instructions: . – Cover the cashews with boiling water and set aside.^ – Place the remainder of the ingredients in a food processor or blender. – Drain the water from the cashews and add to the rest of the ingredients. – Blend the mixture until smooth. – Pour the mixture into popsicle moulds and insert popsicle sticks into each mould. – Freeze for 6 hours or until firm. – Enjoy at will! . Recipe Notes: . *To make these vegan, use silken tofu in place of the cottage cheese. Silken tofu will blend more thoroughly than firmer types of tofu. ^ It is not necessary to soak the cashews, but they will blend into the mixture better with even a short soak. .

3. Take some of the pressure off yourself and make a DIY dessert bar. Your guests will then have the opportunity to make their own desserts and they’ll be able to choose their own ingredients. Think different kinds of ice cream, toppings (like sprinkles, sweets, fudge, sauces, chocolate), brownies, cream, bite-size fruit, a chocolate fountain, candy floss, marshmallows, cones etc.

4. For an informal get together, a “build your own burger station” would also be great fun.

5. Do something different – when you’ve had enough of “normal” parties be spontaneous and and do things with a different angle. Have a casual meal – substitute chairs for comfy pillows on the floor and get a low table.
