Tip of the Week

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

This week's tip was submitted by Patty Sachs.

Keep Your Cool This Summer

Try these festive and frosty party ideas to keep cool all summer:

  • Always wear a party hat!...That is all!
  • Wear a cucumber costume. You know how cool cukes are.
  • Hire a crew of professional "confetti tossers" for the day. They will not only make the place look festive...they will also create a nice, cool breeze.
  • If you must be outdoors... always, I repeat, always stay under a canapé.
  • Order an ice sculpture in the shape of a chair...sit in it all day and at five o'clock fill it with fruit punch and begin the after work party.
  • Instead of Muzak, play cool jazz.
