Casual Summer Hosting


When it comes to summer gatherings, it’s all about keeping things casual, fun, and genuine. 


There’s nothing like sitting outside and enjoying a delicious meal with your friends and family!

Today, I am sharing all of my favorite tips and tricks for making summer gatherings a breeze – including how to keep it simple, minimize stress, and make cleanup easy. 

Invite your friends and family over and let’s eat outside!


HOW TO HOST A CASUAL SUMMER GATHERING 

DON’T WAIT FOR THE PERFECT TIME

There’s never a perfect time to have people over. If you have room in your schedule and the weather is nice, why not have friends over this weekend?

Summer may seem long but it goes by fairly quickly therefore make sure to enjoy every weekend as much as possible, even if it's just you and your live in family.


DON’T CLEAN YOUR HOUSE

That’s right! This is a casual summer gathering, so come as you are. That goes for your home, too! It’s ok to pick up a little bit, but remember to make this gathering fun and stress-free for yourself, too. 

Try to keep your gathering outside. You can always clean up after or the next day.


DO ADD SOME FUN MUSIC

Setting a casual, fun mood can also be done by adding great music to the mix!

Personally I love creating playlists with my Amazon Music app.


SET THE TABLE (IN A SUPER CASUAL WAY) 

Set out your All Cotton and Linen tablecloths and linens on your table to have a gathering-ready feel! 

I love that All Cotton and Linen has just about every kind of table linen, table cloth, runners and napkins to be able to host any kind of occasion and outdoor gathering. 


MAKE EASY, DELICIOUS FOOD

The food should be easy and delicious! 

Grill hamburgers, pasta salad, summer fruit and salad, chips and dip, and end the day with some tasty s'mores. It doesn’t get any better than that!


HAVE AN EASY APPETIZER FOR YOUR GUESTS

While your guests are waiting for food, it’s a great idea to have a simple appetizer available for them (such as chips and guacamole). 

Also, be sure to have lots of drink options ready to go!
