Summer Party Ideas

It's FRIDAY! I don't know about you but I can't get enough of long weekends in the summer. Three whole days to do whatever you want is glorious to me.

We're having a summer party on Saturday with some friends. Basically anyone who isn't lucky enough to be away at a cottage is coming.

Here are some party ideas I'm hoping to incorporate into our night.

I love adding candy to any party. Who doesn't love some sugar?!

How adorable is this. I worked an event on the weekend and they did this.

I love this idea for the dips rather then using bowls.

I want to make a punch or sangria. If anyone has a good recipe please share it!

There you have it, a few things I'll be adding to our summer party.

What are you doing this weekend? Any fun party tricks you'd like to share?

Have a safe & fun long weekend!



Happy Summer!

With the heat wave we're having here in Toronto I think this is something everyone can enjoy!

How amazing would this Strawberry Margarita Popsicle taste on a hot day like today!

Fun & Fruity Cocktails

Does summer scream fun cocktails to anyone else? I love me a good, crisp, fruity and refreshing cocktail. The brighter the colour and more fruit the better.

Summer Cocktails

I can't believe it's already Thursday, not that I'm complaining, trust me! I hope everyone has been having a good week.

I came across this and fell in love. How great would this be at an outdoor wedding, shower, birthday party.... basically anything outside, in the summer, on a beautiful day!

I'm picturing it with a chalk board next to it informing people what type of drink is in each jar.

What do you think, something you'd try this summer? What's your favourite summer cocktail?

Fruit Cones

Ever thought about jazzing up the fruit you're going to serve at your next event? I found this picture on Pinterest and just love it! I hope to incorporate this idea into a few parties this summer!

Super cute, right? Do you have any fun food or drink ideas for your summer events?

Enjoy the Party,

Nicole :)
