A delightful outdoor dinner party instantly invokes the
words "fresh," "summer," and "mingle." Get in the
spirit with our delightful alfresco fete, which includes pretty flower
centerpieces, easy lemonade recipes, lighting ideas, and plenty of
opportunities to chat with guests.
String lanterns, hung in the trees, add sparkle to
backyard gatherings. They work for every summer gathering, adding easy ambience
that can stay outside all season.
The rustic beauty of an outdoor table means you needn't
obsess about matching. Pink dishes from years ago work just fine with vintage
flatware from a flea market. For napkins, mix-and-match fabric scraps offer an
offbeat add-in. No need to hem -- the lifespan of a party napkin is short
anyway.

A side table of light refreshments and a pretty conversation-starting
art piece help the party flow. Top a small table with a square of fabric and
add pour-your-own pitchers of lemonade. Above it, hang an outdoor chandelier
made from photos. Snap flowers from your garden, print multiples on paper, and
clip them to a wire mobile (like this one from umbra.com) to create the
art.
