Here’s our guide to throwing an effortless start of summer party:

Tell your friends about your summer party plans

1. Before hosting a summer kick off party, you’re going to need some guests. Make your friends aware by starting a WhatsApp group. Get your friends to commit, a bit of gentle peer pressure is great in these situations.

2. If you’re organising your party around key sporting events like Wimbledon, remember all of your mates may not share the same enthusiasm...no need to celebrate wildly for EVERY point!

Don’t forget to feed your guests at your summer kick off party

3. If there’s one thing we know, it’s food. Get the snacks right and you’re off to a winner. Lucky for you, you’ll find plenty at your local SPAR. If you’ve got more time, try our delicious chicken fajita recipe.

Stock up on drinks

4. If you don’t want your summer kick off party to be a flop, make sure you don’t run out of booze. Stock up wisely beforehand. If however you find John has had more than his fair share, SPAR is just around the corner to help you out.

Some summer party tips to consider
