Birthdays



From Donna Pilato, your Guide to Entertaining
I can't believe it's already July. Summer is moving full steam ahead (literally), and we're nearing the midpoint of the season. July also means it's time to celebrate birthdays! We started with the birthday of this country, and we move on to lesser birthdays later this month, like mine! Have an Entertaining week!

Choose the Perfect Birthday Cake
If you're hosting a birthday party in honor of a close friend or family member, make sure that even if you're on a tight budget, the birthday cake gets top priority. It's just not a birthday party without the cake and candles.

Planning a Milestone Birthday Party
Even if you don't make a big deal over every birthday, milestone birthdays (you know, the big ones that they make special birthday cards for) still scream for extra attention.

Top Supplies Needed for Picnics
Going on a picnic is a great way to bring your party on the road during the summer season. Your picnic can be fun, romantic, gourmet, or any number of other adjectives, but what you don't want is to be unprepared. After all, what good is that bottle of red if you forgot to bring along the corkscrew. That's why the next time you head out for a picnic, you'll want to review this list of Top Supplies Needed for Picnics.

Estimating Food Quantities for Parties
Everyone has been planning their holiday parties this week. And one of the most common discussions I've had with friends and family is to figure out just how much food we need for our barbecues. We're not the kind of hosts that like to send guests home feeling hungry! So when that question comes up, I always turn to this guide on How to Estimate Food Amounts for a Party. Remember, this requires both an artful and a scientific approach.
