Throwing and End of Summer Event

Throwing an event any time of the year can be a success, but one of the most popular times to really pull off a smash hit is at the end of the summer.

Whether it is helping out with a large corporate event or just putting together some sort of backyard pool party, there are many ways you can have the best end of summer party imaginable.

Food

Whether you are at a high class wedding or throwing a community block party, the food is always one of the most important elements that people will look forward to.

When putting together a simple end of summer get together, taking it easy on the food is always a great move.

Instead of going for the full dinner with three different courses, go for a buffet style of finger foods or a serve yourself barbecue setup.

The majority of guests will enjoy an array of vegetables and fruit, while still getting to put together a barbecued chicken sandwich for themselves.

Drinks

One a hot summer day, keeping everyone cooled down with delicious drinks is one of the most important ways to keep the night going.

If you don’t want everyone sifting through a trough of ice water to find the beer cans at the bottom, but also don’t feel like playing bartender all night, consider setting up a serve yourself bar option for your guests.

Simply set up a table with several different bottles of liquor and various mixers for your guests to let their creativity flow or simply make their favorite cocktail.

Theme Your Party

Another great way to keep your guests or audience engaged during your event is to come up with some sort of theme for the party.

Wanting to go for the all white look right before labor day? Make all-white wardrobes part of the dress code and decorate the area with white linens, additional lights, and accent it with a classy touch of either gold or silver with your accessories.

Picking a theme that everyone can get into is a great way to help yourself pick out food and drinks for the get together, but also keep people excited and entertained throughout the day or evening.

Entertainment

If you have a larger crowd for a bigger event, the entertainment is key.

Unless you are putting on a concert where the acts are the main entertainment, you will likely need to set some things up for the more scaled back events.

A photo booth is a great way to get people interacting with each other and enjoying themselves. Consider holding a contest for funniest photo and really let the guest’s imaginations flow. You can even set up an event hashtag so people can post their photos and see everyone else’s all in the same place.

Follow a few of these simple tips and tricks and you are sure to have a crowd pleasing event to end the summer right.
