Last-Minute Party Ideas

The unofficial end of summer is upon us, so give it a celebratory send-off with quick and easy ideas!

Chocolate-Dipped S’mores Skewers

Everyone loves gooey s’mores, and now there’s a new way to eat them: on skewers with fruit and marshmallows! Add your ingredients to the skewer, roll in brown sugar and torch to caramelize then dip in chocolate or caramel (or both, why not?).

Edible Garden Crudite

The unofficial end of summer is upon us, so give it a celebratory send-off with quick and easy ideas like an edible garden, s’mores skewers and a spiked lemonade stand!

Adult Lemonade Stand

Whether you have a lot of leftover lemonade or tea hanging out in your fridge or you pick up some store-bought stuff, this is a no-brainer. Pour everything into pretty pitchers and place a bottle of vodka on the table with them.

DIY Wine Slushies

Just take a large glass of sparkling or regular wine and dip in a homemade ice pop (or a store-bought one, we won’t tell).

DIY Fruit Kabob Wine Charm

Cut letters out of fruit with cookie cutters, and string them on to a skewer to spell your guest’s name. Then, plop them into their wine glass or cocktail, and everyone will know which glass is theirs.

Muffin Tin Condiment Tray

If you’re having a party and want to set out condiments and need the perfect serving dish – why not try using a six-compartment muffin tin? Brilliant!

Party Milk Shakes

Your guests “shake” up this fun party treat! Freeze different flavors of ice cream in an ice cube tray. Then, set it out with small bottles and have your guests scoop out their flavors of choice into a bottle. Add milk and a pretty straw, and stir.
