COOKTOP COVE
Secure a tablecloth so it doesn’t blow away
Setting a picturesque outdoor table for a summer party is fine as long as everything stays in place. While you can decide all the decorative details in advance, there’s no guarantee that the wind will cooperate with your party plans. Eliminate the stress of worrying about a flyaway tablecloth by securing the cloth to the table with a length of charming accent ribbon.

Burn an empty egg carton on the grill to repel bugs
Nothing brings a party down faster than a swarm of mosquitoes and a lack of resources to keep them away. Instead of purchasing pricey repellent oils and coils, keep the pests at bay with nothing more than a cardboard egg carton and the grill. Heat the cartoon up so it catches on fire, then quickly blow it out and let it smolder on the fire-safe grill top. The burning cardboard releases a pleasant aroma for guests while the smoke works to repel mosquitoes.
