Posh Parties: End Of Summer Bash!
The summer season is quickly drawing to a close, so why not send summer off with a bang by throwing a fabulous end of summer bash! A celebration that is paired with a delicious menu and a laid back atmosphere will be a hit and the perfect way to end summer.
Setting the Scene
Choose an easy theme like a chic and stylish backyard BBQ. It’s easy to plan and will also help to keep the mood of the party relaxed.
A great place to start is with the centerpiece or the flowers in your backyard, and build from there with your color scheme. Just keep the light hues of summer in mind when choosing the decor and you’ll be fine.
The party start time should be in the late evening around dusk, just when the sun is beginning to set. Hang lanterns around your patio or scatter candles and lanterns to light the space, this will help to create a warm and sultry summery vibe .
Set up chairs and table in a way that will make it easy for your guest to mingle and talk with each other.
On the Menu
Keep the menu light and with plenty of summer seasonal foods. Set up a buffet to serve up bit-size and savory appetizers, which will allow your guest to mingle with each other around the buffet table. For the main menu, you can stick with summer BBQ favorites but with a twist.

Entertaining Inspiration: It’s Just Peachy!
Wow, can you believe that summer is almost gone, and with the end of summer will also come the end of peach season. So, now is the time to enjoy some delicious and juicy peaches. We have some creative ideas for table settings, centerpieces and recipes that are just peachy!
Using peaches to dress up your dinner table is simple and easy. A stunning centerpiece can be created by arranging peaches in a beautiful vase. It’s an easy centerpiece to make and it smells great. For a chic and stylish place setting, simply write names on strips of thin art paper, and use a pencil to curl ends in opposite directions. Hang paper from bamboo toothpicks inserted through peach tops.
For the menu: All the best recipes start with the freshest ingredients, and peaches are no exception. For cocktail hour serve your guest Peach Martini with Chiles and freshly shucked oysters and warm olive bread smeared with a soft blue or gorgonzola cheese. For a light dinner go with the Grilled Chicken and Peach Kebab Salad or the Curried Peach and Shrimp Salad, it’s ideal and perfect for a summer dinner. Finish up the evening by serving up a Bellini Sorbet which takes its cue from the classic Bellini cocktail or some mouthwatering Vanilla and Riesling Poached White Peaches.
There you go, some great entertaining inspiration for a great summer evening.
Enjoy!
