Summer is a time of fun parties, picnics in nature and country gatherings with shish kebabs. If you want a meeting with friends to be a success, arrange themed parties, the style of which determines the choice of costumes, entertainment and treats. How to make this event bright and memorable?
Theme Party Ideas
Pirate parties can be held on the shore of the sea, lake or river, where there is plenty of space for games and entertainment in the marine style. For pajama parties, a cozy home environment is good with milkshakes, pillow fights and watching family comedies. A vintage evening in the spirit of the 60s with the appropriate dress code and decoration is necessarily accompanied by retro-style dancing. Very popular detective parties with mysterious stories and investigations, gangster meetings with expensive cigars, gambling and Argentine tango, as well as fruit and flower carnivals, which are ideal for summer.
Parties in the style of national traditions of different countries expand your horizons and make life more interesting, especially if such holidays feature national cuisine on the menu. So, at Indian meetings, guests change into saris and other traditional outfits, learn Indian dances and yoga asanas, the French style is characterized by a touch of romance and fine cuisine, and tropical parties are always fun, spectacular cocktails and exotic fruits!
By the way, if you decide to organize a party outside the city in the fresh air, take care of soft drinks, stock up on “Ochakov” kvass with the aroma of bread crust and a pleasant sweet and sour taste. Kvass perfectly quenches thirst, invigorates and lifts the mood!
Some tips for organizing a party
Having decided on the theme and venue of the event, make guest lists, issue spectacular invitation cards, remind the guests about the costumes and make a script. Without this, the party can turn into chaos. Of course, you don’t have to strictly follow the plan, so leave room for improvisation. But even the most approximate scenario will help you feel more confident and will not let the guests get bored.
Design a room or garden for a party in accordance with its thematic focus. You don’t have to invite a designer to do this. Everyone can hang pictures, posters and garlands, arrange vases with flowers and introduce themed paraphernalia into the interior.
Use reasonable caution when making your guest list. If you’re throwing an African bonfire dance party with scary masks, don’t invite those who don’t have a good sense of humor. In the same way, you should not invite people to Yule divination who consider magic, even in a comic version, a terrible sin. In general, choose a company that will be interested in this topic, and most importantly-that the participants of the meeting feel comfortable with each other, otherwise “sworn” friends can spoil the mood for the whole evening. However, alcoholic cocktails with kvass “Ochakovsky” will defuse the situation and relieve tension!
Mojito with kvass will impress even the most fastidious connoisseurs of cocktails. You will need 150 ml of kvass “Ochakovsky”, 2 tbsp lemon juice, mint leaves to taste, 2 circles of lemon, 1 tsp brown sugar, 25 ml of rum and ice. In a glass, mash the mint with sugar and lemon juice, dilute with a small amount of cold water and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then, through a strainer, pour the contents of the glass into a wine glass, pour the rum there and add a circle of lemon to it. After that, you will only have to put ice in the glass, pour in kvass, decorate the drink with a sprig of mint, and the glass itself — with a circle of lemon. Classic cocktails in a new reading is ready!
The most important thing is to eat on time
Before the event, think about the festive menu, which should not be too complicated. It is not necessary to turn the party into a magnificent feast with a large number of dishes, because people gather for fun, the food is just an additional entourage.
The best option for catering at a party is a buffet with simple snacks, salads, sandwiches and tartlets. Grilled meat and fish can be served as hot dishes, and vegetables or potatoes can be served as a side dish.
Of course, it is good if the dishes fit into the theme of the holiday — at oriental-style parties, tea ceremonies with traditional Indian or Asian sweets will be appropriate, beach fun is difficult to imagine without fruits, juices and cocktails, and at pirate or cowboy events, there must be kebabs or steaks.
Summer Party Drinks
At summer parties, fresh and slightly tart kvass “Ochakovsky” perfectly replaces any drinks. To quench your thirst, you can’t think of anything better! And what delicious cocktails are made from it! Try to cook “Sangria” on kvass, and guests will be surprised by the unexpected taste of the drink.
Cut into slices two nectarines, two apples without seeds, one lemon and an orange, which do not need to be peeled. Fill the fruit with a small amount of sugar and put it in the refrigerator for an hour, then pour them 300 ml of cold green tea, add mint, ice and pour a liter of cold kvass “Ochakovsky”.
By the way, if you replace the tea with red dry wine, the non-standard and harmonious taste of the cocktail will pleasantly surprise both you and your guests.
When preparing a party, do not take on too many things, otherwise you will not enjoy the holiday. Ask the guests to help you-let everyone bring some dish to the table or organize an interesting contest, game, quiz. And when you feel thirsty, take a couple of sips of “Ochakov” kvass — life will immediately become more joyful and brighter!
