For your next children’s birthday party you could simply plonk down a bowl of crisps, a plate of ham sandwiches, a platter of sausage rolls and a stack of cakes. But perhaps there’s something else you could do which would make this party food tie in with the theme of the party a little better.

If that sounds like a grand idea, read on – this could well save you a packet.

If you’re planning on having a Halloween party in a couple of weeks then one of the things you might be thinking about is the table decoration. Perhaps you’re planning on having a buffet table with bits and pieces for everyone to help themselves from, in which case if you have children why not get them to decorate their own table cover?

We’ve looked in to the definition of 16th October and it would seem that it is Dictionary Day today. This is to celebrate the achievements and contributions of Noah Webster, who is credited as being the father of the modern dictionary. So here we go with a few of our own party themed dictionary definitions.

This is a simple napkin fold that only takes a few seconds, but looks beautiful, and presents cutlery in a really smart, sophisticated way.

Apparently it’s the summer, so they tell me. Although as I’m writing this I’m looking at out the rain hammering on the windows. But being in an optimistic frame of mind regardless I thought I’d offer one of my favourite summer cocktail recipes.

This is a fantastic way to fold a napkin as it transforms an otherwise plain square of material into a realistic looking tie. Great for weddings or business meals, or just for fun at home with friends.
