Hosting a party? We reveal the secrets to hosting the ‘Best of British’ themed parties, fit with great entertainment, classic drinks and wonderful locations as well as many more tips that will help you create a bash to remember this summer.
English Tea Party
Whether you have a reason to celebrate or are just searching for an excuse to gather a group of your closest friends and family, an English Tea Party will instantaneously add a touch of elegance to your summer. Find out your best china, string up some floral bunting and whittle away a summer’s afternoon sipping classic drinks like a fruity Pimm’s or a cup of tea with your loved ones. The Waitrose ‘Afternoon Tea’ Range, will offer your guests a great choice of luscious treats whilst antique garden games such as croquet and boules will ensure they are entertained all day long. Finally, look the part by donning your favourite, frilliest summer dress and you’re set to go.
Party in the Park
If you want to throw a party but begrudge the responsibility of hosting, throwing a ‘party in the park’ may be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Find a scenic public spot and allocate your guests a platter of food or drink to bring to help share the load. Soft cushions and warm blankets adds a level of comfort and style to the great outdoors whilst themed decorations will transform your picnic into a party. Wireless, outdoor speakers such as the Bose SoundLink Revolve, £199.95 will provide entertainment all day long and will give all your guests the chance to be DJ. Be sure to check with your local council when planning a party in a public space.
Cocktail Party
Summer would not be a summer without a cocktail or two so why not throw your own cocktail party? Stick to classic drinks like a glass of Gin and Tonic or be adventurous by creating your own ‘Raspberry and Lavender Gin Fizz’. Serve your concoctions in the beautifully crafted, copper cocktail sets from Tom Dixon, £75 and keep your guests happy by serving them some delicious canapés throughout the evening. Minimal and sleek garden décor with hints of copper, emanates a sophisticated and glamourous vibe that will make your party even more memorable. If you would prefer not to host a cocktail party at your home, why not hire ‘The Ivy’ in London’s Covent Garden, holding up to 100 guests; splendid for an evening of cocktails and elegance.
