Amid all the luxuries we have today, copious amounts of extra time doesn’t seem to be one of them.

Luckily, there are many resources out there to assist you in your pursuit a successful night of entertaining without the chaos.

Here are a few ways to help speed up your prep time so that you can relax and enjoy the night with your guests:

1. Dessert Should Be Heavenly

Why not save yourself the hassle, and order dessert online? Heidi’s Heavenly Cookies is a gourmet cookie company that does cookie delivery with elegance.

2. Faux Silverware

When you first realize, last minute, that there are no clean forks and knives to be had in the house-your cutlery have been sabotaged today by your children to excavate the backyard and your plates have chipped edges and you don’t have enough to match for everyone at the table, your automatic reaction will be: paper and plastic!

There is no inherent problem with this thought so long as it is the right sort of paper and plastic. A great way to save face (and time) is to fool your guests with great faux silverware and faux china by WNA Inc.

3. Take It Outside

The best thing about summer, especially in places where its exceptionally hot, is the evening. With just enough warm air and breeze, moving your dinner party to the patio can be a great change of pace for you and your guests. It becomes a great excuse to create a more casual ice-breaker environment for guests that you’d like to know better. The only problem with this delightful setting in the great outdoors is: bugs. Particularly, our friend that leaves those wonderfully itchy and uncomfortable little (unless you itch it like crazy) bumps in those hard to reach places. This summer, don’t let the mosquito and his brood get the best of you-put out a few citronella candles by The Essential Oil Company. Other than doing its obvious job of warding off those pesky bugs, these lovely scented candles create a relaxing, aromatic experience and doubles as elegant mood lighting!

4. Kid’s Party

One of the best ways to help your children behave during a dinner party is to have something fun and new for them to entertain themselves with. Kids are obsessed with forts. Why not save your sofa cushions and luxury throws by purchasing a teepee from Kid’s Furniture Farm? Get them all set up with movies, games, and enough popcorn to keep them busy the entire evening. You’re sure to have a fun and relaxing dinner, without the hassle of continually trying to keep your children entertained throughout the night. Let them have a “popcorn and snacks dinner party” in their teepee and both parties will have a ball!

5. Dress It Up

As the focal piece, your table should have something to say. It shouldn’t say, “I look shabby and have been neglected this evening.” Hopefully it will say something simple, classy, and fresh. Flowers are the perfect thing to easily brighten any table. Other than quickly picking flowers from your yard or neighbors yard (with their permission of course!), a fast and easy way to save time before the actual evening of the party is to order them online and have them delivered straight to your door! For that extremely hard-to-please guest, try Vera Wang’s floral bouquets at FTD. Vera Wang has a page dedicated to “The Symbolism of Flowers.” Decorate your table with a vase of Hydrangeas for a statement of “good cheer,” and you’ll be sure to impress any guest!. By: Almira Lewis
