Savor the Flavors
When it comes to hosting a summer get-together, food can play a vital role in creating a memorable experience. Start off with a vibrant salad, followed by a delicious seafood dish, and make the final course a decadent fruit tart! Our upcoming Fox Point Farms includes an edible paseo that you can use when constructing your menu. No matter what you choose, you’re sure to delight your guests and keep them coming back for more.
Make a Splash
If you don’t have a pool, it’s still easy to stay cool during a summer soiree. Initiate a water balloon challenge between the kids and adults, set up sprinklers for everyone to run through, or rent an inflatable water slide. Your guests will have a blast as they splash, dance, and beat the heat!
Set the Scene
Take your summer party to the next level with an outdoor movie night. Whether gathering in the backyard or at a local park, create a memorable cinematic experience with an inflatable screen and projector. Choose a movie that will appeal to all your guests, provide blankets and seating, and of course, a variety of snacks! As the sun sets, press play and enjoy the flick.
Add excitement to your summer party with outdoor games. Set up an obstacle course for your guests to try and conquer, challenge your friends to favorites, such as giant jenga, bean bag toss, and even croquet. Finally, don’t forget to provide fun prizes for all your guests and participants!
We All Scream For “Ice Cream!”
Keep your loved ones cool this summer by throwing an ice cream social. Set up a decadent ice cream bar, where your guests can make their own sweet masterpiece. Offer different flavors of ice cream, and a variety of popular toppings, such as crumbled oreos, sprinkles, marshmallows, cherries, hot fudge, and more. Pro-Tip: Don’t forget to take photos of the amazing and delicious creations!
