While the weather is still good (hopefully) why not throw a summer party.
Having friends over for
a barbeque is a great way to spend an afternoon and/or evening. Or give up
cooking entirely and have a selection of salads, pastries and dips.

You can also ask
your guests to bring a dish, or a bottle of something. People are usually happy
to contribute. Try and get a vague idea of what everyone's bringing, so they
don’t all bring the same thing.....and to clarify they need to bring a dish
full of something, not just an empty dish. (you know who you are).
See if your
local supermarket or off-license provides free glass hire. Using reusable
glassware/crockery/cutlery is the sustainable choice, but plastic cups and paper
plates are safer in the garden. Similarly, stash away any breakable objects if
you think things might get a bit rowdy.
Arrange tea
lights in jars around the garden to add light to an after-dark party. But, as
with all candle products, keep an eye on them to stop the wind from blowing
them out and to ensure they don't set fire to your plants.
Background music
can add to the mood of the party. Just make sure you don’t have it so loud it
annoys the neighbourhood.
Want to add a bit more entertainment? Why not set a theme and get everyone to dress up. You can add games to the event and even add a mystery party game.
A selection of role-playing party games is available from ITM Games. They have 6 to 12 main suspects and allow for all guests to act as sleuths.
