As far as weather is concerned, I really cannot complain. Winter on the East Coast was pretty tame this year. Spending Christmas Eve outdoors wearing a short sleeved shirt was definitely surreal. And glorious. But we did also have many months of bone chilling temperatures and sad grey skies. Like all East Coasters, I am ready for Spring! Well, Summer really...but I will take Spring in the meantime. We've been getting a sneak peak these past few weeks; Blue Skies, gorgeous daffodil blooms and smiles on the faces around me. Nicer weather must be coming soon. Not only are people just happier this time of year, but gorgeous weather means outdoor dining. My FAVORITE. Nothing is better than throwing something on the grill and eating al fresco. And with our new Let's Go Outside Party in a Box, you can dine al fresco in style.

Check out how we used this box to create the Ultimate Sammies and Sorbet party! These bright colors are sure to brighten up any gathering. In this Limited Edition Collection, you will find Large orange chevron plates, Yellow rugby striped napkins, matching rugby striped cups, orange striped straws and bright yellow cutlery. We rolled our napkin around our cutlery using a few pieces of twine - a simple and easy trick! Want to take your sandwiches up a notch and impress your kids? Take out your favorite cookie cutter and your otherwise boring sammies will come to life! Nothing says SUMMER like sorbet and ice cream. Which is why we've included these adorable ice cream bowls, which come with wooden spoons. Perfect for two scoops of your favorite flavor. Or fruit for those working on their bikini bodies :) Do you love these gold glittery pineapple toppers? You do? GOOD, they come in the box too!This warm weather always gets me thirsty...so I will keep my colorful plastic pitcher filled to the brim with something delicious. Perhaps some rosemary infused lemonade? This pitcher has a center compartment that is removed, filled with water and frozen before the party, so your drinks will stay cool in the hot sun. Did you happen to catch the pineapple centerpiece we made? If you didn't...here it is again. Would you believe us if we told you this masterpiece was made in 5 minutes? That's right. Hollow out a pineapple, put in a small glass of water, and place stems into the water to cover the glass. That's IT.  Are you ready for summer yet? Now that you've seen what we've done with this adorable Party in a Box, we want to see what YOU can come up with. We are hosting a giveaway on INSTAGRAM this afternoon. Three winners will receive a Let's Go Outside Party Box of their own to style. The one who comes up with the most gorgeous tablescape will be our Grand Prize Winner and will receive a $100 Visa Cash Card...perfect for your next PARTY!! GOOD LUCK!
