You can make it the best summer ever with these simple party ideas…Simple Summer Party TipsFirst up, you can make things a little more fun just by doing a few simple decorations. I just draped a cheap turquoise blue table cloth for a backdrop & table cover. Some fun things like cocktail umbrellas, paper straws, and paper lanterns work well too. Simple Summer Party IdeasFood is always a must at parties, but you can keep it simple and still have fun. For this little playdate, I kept things simple with stuff I already had on hand. I made a simple infused water and peach lemonade for drinks. We served up some veggies & chips to munch on. And, for a fun dessert we made beachy cupcakes. Easy summer party ideasAny beach-themed food works great for summer parties–and the beach cupcakes are SO easy to do! To make beach cupcakes, just frost any old cupcakes with a small amount of frosting. Then dip into finely crushed graham crackers.
