*No need to worry about food spoiling. Take a little kid's swimming pool and fill it with ice. Set your bowls of food on top to help them stay cold.
*We used to freeze empty milk cartons for blocks of ice but using frozen water balloons would be much more fun and colorful!
*Having a bottle of hand sanitizer for your guests handy near the food is a good idea. Or...how about filling a drink jug with a spout for washing. Put a soap dispenser, paper towels and a trash for the used towels nearby.
*Guests about to arrive and you forgot to chill the wine? Use these 3 quick steps if you are short on time!
1. Place bottle in wine bucket and fill with ice.
2. Add two handfuls of salt (that’s the secret ingredient).
3. Wait 6 minutes, serve and enjoy!
*Have your guests label and use the same glasses throughout your party.
*You can buy a few inexpensive disposable cameras and let kids serve as official event photographers.
*Weather people are forecasting a heat wave? Buy a pack of inexpensive washcloths from a dollar store, roll each up and secure with a rubber band, then toss into a cooler of ice water for guests to grab. (The best cooling points are the neck and wrists, where large arteries run close to the skin.)
*Purchase inexpensive cups and straws to help keep the little ones from spilling their drinks and attracting insects to the party.
*Pre-cut fruit such as watermelon into small slices and insert a popsicle stick into the rind. This will make eating it a little less messy.
There you have it. Now you need to get family and /or friends together and PARTY!!!
