Either way, we're looking forward to a jam-packed summer full of beach picnics and pool parties alike.
The beauty of a summer party is the abundance of amazing locations with the warm weather. Just because it's a “party” doesn't mean the location has to be complicated. Here are a few ideas to inspire you for the simplest (or more elaborate) summer events:
1. Backyard Bonanza: Transform your backyard into a summertime oasis! String lights, set up comfy seating, and create a fun activity area for games like cornhole or giant Jenga.
2. Rooftop Revelry: New Yorkers know the magic of a rooftop! Many apartment buildings or co-working spaces boast rooftop terraces – perfect for an evening event with city views.
3. Park Perfection: Head to Central Park for a cost-effective and scenic option. Set up some blankets and pillows, and bring a sweet picnic!
4. Beach Blanket Bliss: For the ultimate summer vibes, head to the beach! Just make sure to check regulations regarding gatherings, and pack beach essentials.
Every great party needs a signature drink. This year, ditch the sugary classics and opt for something light, refreshing, and bursting with summer flavor. We love this twist on a mojito that's perfect for a poolside party or rooftop soirée.

Shimmer's Sparkling Watermelon Mojito:
2 oz White Rum
1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
1/2 cup Muddle Watermelon Chunks
1/4 cup Simple Syrup
Soda Water (to top)
Mint Sprig (for garnish)
Muddle the watermelon chunks in a shaker. Add rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously with ice and strain into a glass filled with fresh ice. Top with soda water and garnish with a sprig of mint.
The best summer parties are bursting with color and personality. Here are a few themes to inspire your inner party animal and to keep all your guests talking for years to come:
1. Tropical Paradise: Think lush greenery, vibrant floral arrangements, and irresistible pops of pink. Encourage guests to wear colorful clothing with a Hawaiian flair!
2. Amalfi Coast: Who doesn't love an Italian theme? Choose bright florals, colorful glassware, and chic yet simple table scapes.
3. Neutral Organic: Opt for a terracotta color scheme and cute cactus arrangements to lean into a more natural and muted scape.
Bonus Tip: Don't forget the tunes! Create a summer playlist filled with upbeat music to keep the party vibe going strong.
