Hosting a Chic and Simple Summer Party – Party Savers

Hosting a Chic and Simple Summer Party

You don't have to sacrifice style in order to host a chic (and easy) summer party - we've got the best tips and tricks for you at Party Savers. A laidback party can often mean an easy-to-plan menu, minimalist decorations and light summer cocktails. Here are some ideas for an effortlessly chic and simple summer party! 

Stick to a Central Theme or Idea

A central idea or theme can be as simple as choosing and repeating a colour. Simple touches such as napkins, colour-coordinated foods and party decorations can lend a cohesive air to your party, elevating it from plain to chic! Take a look through our summer party decorations [here]

Serve Food You can Make Ahead

Simple finger foods, such as tzatziki with a medley of summer veggies, salads, devilled eggs, charcuterie boards and fruit platters can be huge hits in the summer heat! As an added bonus, they're simple to prepare, require little to no cooking skills and will definitely elevate your party to the next level! When paired with chilled wine and beer, it's an unbeatable combination! 

Make Every Spot Feel Special 

If you're hosting your party outdoors, bringing some blankets and pillows outside can lend an air of easy intimacy and coziness. Incorporating bright spots of colour through throw blankets and pillows can also work to solidify your theme, making your party appear chic and elegant. Turn a quiet corner of your backyard into a chill out zone by arranging a picnic rug and throw pillows on it, for your guests to sit and enjoy the sunset. 

Keep Your Drinks Simple

Wine and beer are staples to a good summer party, but why not kick yours up a notch with your own summer punch, or a personal take on the classic sangria? The beauty of this trick lies in its simplicity - summer afternoons are meant for chatting with friends, watching the sunset and chilling, not for running back and forth from the kitchen, fetching everyone's drinks. By setting out a sizeable pitcher of punch or sangria (or your preferred summer cocktail) for your guests, you encourage them to serve themselves, fostering a homey yet chic undertone to your party.
