Tip of the Week

Look here each Monday for a new tip to make entertaining a snap.

Let's Go Fly a ....Tablecloth?

Don't let that be the theme song for your next outdoor party. Remember that when entertaining outside you need to secure any potential flyaway items in case of surprise wind gusts. That includes tablecloths, napkins, lightweight floral arrangements or umbrellas.

For securing a tablecloth you can decoratively tie it to the table, use weights at the bottom of the cloth, or place heavy, decorative objects on top to weigh it down. 

Furthermore, if you expect wind, be careful where you place candles and the style candleholder you choose. Better to be in the dark than illuminated by an out of control fire.
