Road Trip!! 
Is anyone going to be setting up for a Memorial Day, wedding, baby shower, 4th of July party or just a random summer party this year? I read an article the other day that stated that over 80% of people polled said that their favorite party to attend is a backyard outdoor barbecue!
And the best parties? Keeping things really simple.
Votive candles spread out on the table, with bowls of lemons and limes. We could do this!:
Be sure to keep the menu simple. Your guests will enjoy whatever you put out in front of them to eat! Grilling is tasty, but make sure that you help keep the chef from having too complicated of meals. A few cold salads made ahead, good bread and cheese and a platter of fruit are easy and inexpensive menu choices for entertaining. Make as much as possible ahead of time.
You do not have to go crazy decorating outside either! I think one really cool ‘focal point’ is all you need:
Drinks are important!:
Yummmmm!!!
I love the use of mason jars!:
Keep your decorating simple:
Love this!:
It doesn’t look too stressful! Let’s have a summer party!
I hope I have given you a couple good ideas to try. Happy, happy, happy! (picture me dancing a happy summer dance!) summer my friends!
