A few more weeks left of summer… ugh, how?! I say let’s take these last few weeks and make the most of them by throwing some amazing gatherings that our friends will be reflecting on well into the Fall. Here’s some inspiration for an unforgettable End of Summer Party.

Starting with above… a fab pool party. Deck out the patio with big bright umbrellas {mine are Frontgate and the stripes really give my backyard that Italian Riviera feel!}. Serve lunch around bistro tables and choose beautiful melamine plates for lunch.

Which brings me to lunch or brunch….

Summer calls for lighter healthier foods especially since we are in bathing suits, so choose a menu guests will appreciate. In this FH post, I share recipes for Acai Bowls, Smoothies and cute fruit parfaits. Or some healthy lunch ideas on FH include Grilled Eggplant Bruschetta, Kale Pecorino Salad, or Chicken Mango Curry Cous Cous.

Moving on to pool-side sips. You can’t go wrong with a blended or iced margarita. And an adorable bar cart display is just the way to serve it. And don’t forget the acrylic margarita glasses, cute straws, and salt for the rim!

Feeling like you want the party a bit more classy? Create a champagne bar at your pool. You will need a fab ice bucket to display champagne and acrylic champagne flutes. Oh, and I highly recommend some fun pool floats floating in the back drop!

And then you need the perfect party favor… like this Bento Box of “Corona Themed Candies” by Sugarfina. Buy the box which includes a Beer Opener or buy the individual boxes on the Sugarfina website – too cute!!

Cheers to Summer!!
