- Prepare wraps in advance (night before or morning of) to cut down on pre-party preparation.
- Create self-serve stations and provide recipe cards your guests can consult as they build their own appetizers with chips, dips, and make-your-own quesadillas. Sort ingredients by bowls and place by a panini maker guests can use to heat quesadillas.
- Whether hosting the get-together indoors or out, turn dessert into an event by filling a piñata with candy and stinging it from a tree in your yard. Ask guests to keep their distance while each person takes a turn. Challenge stronger guests to use their less dominant arm to make it more fun.
- For refreshments, put a margarita recipe next to ingredients and blender so guests can serve to taste. They will love selecting their own portions, and you'll be free to enjoy every moment of the party.
