Spring is a beautiful time to host a garden party. Go all old-worldly and feminine and set up a traditional tea party at your place. Think shabby-chic, romantic, pastel and pretty! This is a great idea for a girls-only event such as a kitchen tea, birthday celebration or baby shower.

If you’ve been tasked with feeding the hungry footy fans on finals day, some simple preparation and planning can go a long way to making the day a success.
