Do your summer parties fall flat due to not having enough ice to keep beverages or fresh foods chilled? Spending time at a rented outdoor venue that is large enough to accommodate your guests will require a comprehensive plan that will ensure that you have all of the supplies needed to keep your guests satisfied. Instead of relying upon a small amount of ice that you prepared in some ice trays, seek an ice delivery service and use some creative serving ideas.
Some Large Buckets Of Beverages
Large tubs that can be purchased from a home center and that contain secure lids can be transformed into buckets of beverages. This type of setup will lure your guests in after they have competed in a friendly football game or another activity that you have set up for your guests. Before you order ice through a delivery service, acquire the buckets that will be used to store the ice.
A couple large ice chests can also be utilized if you would like to have some ice in reserve to use to replenish the buckets as the day wears on. Order bagged ice that will adequately fit into all of the containers that are being used. An ice delivery can be arranged beforehand, and you can instruct the service person to drop the products off at the outdoor venue.
If you are going to be supplied with a shaded area for your guests to sit, place each bucket of beverages alongside the seating area. Use one bucket of ice for soda, juice, and bottled water and another one for adult beverages, such as beer, wine coolers, and spritzers. Create some decorative artwork for the side of each bucket. Use a large piece of white packing paper or a jumbo adhesive label as the material that the artwork is added to.
Fresh Fruits And Vegetables And Appetizers
If you will be firing up your grill when the party is in full swing, you may have some hungry guests who smell the savory meats cooking. Keep your guests' appetites sustained by offering them some fresh fruits and vegetables or fancy appetizers. Use long, deep-dish serving trays for the food items and use some of the ice that was delivered to keep all of the edibles cool.
Spread a layer of ice along the bottom of each tray and arrange watermelon slices, apple pieces, pineapples, shrimp cocktail components, or any other foods that you have included in the spread. Because extra bagged ice will be stored inside of the coolers, you can keep the trays looking nice by adding new ice cubes or chips to the spread as needed.
