Outdoor Entertaining, The Thrify Way

 via Photositook

I don't know about you guys, but I love to entertain- especially in the summer! Scott and I are fortunate enough to have an amazing shared roof top with beautiful views of San Fransisco, fully equipped with lounge chairs and a BBQ. I am looking to throw one more party to end the summer with a bang!

Here are a few outdoor party items I adore that are under 50 dollars, how cute is that apron?

Any party success/disaster stories? I would love to hear em'!

My delicious version (the same ingredients, just not as pretty):
