Truly...there's the website for inspiration.  I, for one, would be just as pleased with takeout

National Donut Day

It's National Doughnut Day (or Donut Day), which falls on the first Friday of June each year.

Whether you like them jelly-filled, powdered or glazed, you now have a good excuse (if you needed one) to enjoy the sweet treats.

National Doughnut Day isn't a ploy by doughnut shops to get you in their doors. Its roots date back to World War I, when hundreds of Salvation Army officers, aiming to comfort U.S. troops serving in Europe, cooked and served doughnuts to the soldiers, according to USA Today.

The first National Doughnut Day was celebrated in 1938.

You can score a free donut at any Dunkin Donuts today.

Confetti

Confetti says "PARTY"!       Make your own with a circle punch or shapes such as a heart or butterfly.   Perfect use for scraps of fancy patterned papers from which you created your invitation. This keeps your theme going.  Scatter on tabletops or up the walk leading to the PARTY.

Pass the bar

literally....I'm taking a mixologist course online and hope to 'pass the bar.'
Here's a good tip for quickly chilling a glass:If you have a few minutes, it's best to wet a glass and put it in the freezer. If you're really in a hurry, though, you can fill the glass with ice and water to quickly chill the glass.
