Ideas for easy outdoor entertaining:
1. Make an impromptu table out of items you have, or bring an indoor table outside!
2. Food cans covered in wrapping, scrapbook or other decorative papers make great vases for fresh flowers.
3. Scrapbook paper is the perfect size for a casual, colorful placemat to match or contrast your dinnerware.
4. Mason Jars are great for drinking glasses, and even better when they do double duty as a holder for napkins and flatware.
5. A s’mores bar and spiked cider make a great after dinner treat.
