Candles, goblets, china, linen napkins--you can handle anything! For your next party, explore a new theme. Try pairing wines with each course. Buy all locally grown and seasonal ingredients. Choose a color theme and plan all courses to match. The sky's the limit!

Casual BBQ
Too much planning cramps your style. For you, it's all about being creative and enjoying your guests. Go for a casual event, like a barbecue. Serve hors d'oeuvres near the grill or kitchen, so you can enjoy the chat. Keep the table décor simple--a jar of wildflowers, a citronella candle. Allow everyone to fill their own plates so you can be part of the party.
