Have Children Plan and Prepare a Fancy Dinner
This is for Frugal Family Fun. Every summer when my children were home and wondering what to do, they would plan a family "restaurant dinner" night. They had to come up with the menu, cook the food, set up a fancy table, and even make menus.
My birthday was one day ago and my party is tomorrow. I don't have an idea what to serve my friends. Can anyone help?

For those of you lucky enough to have fresh watermelon year round, have fun using them as your centerpiece at parties. You can make them into any design you can draw. Here I made a fish jumping over the watermelon bowl.
Each midwinter I have a soup party for family and friends. I make several different kinds of soup. I might have potato soup, pea Soup, My own "Better Than Congressional Bean Soup", Chicken or Turkey vegetable - whatever I happen to have on hand.

Transporting Soup for Potlucks

Ask Guests to Bring Containers for Leftovers
When we get together for a big dinner, holiday or such, I ask everyone who wants to take home leftovers to bring some containers from home. Either Tupperware or butter bowls. That way at the end of day I am not giving away my dishes.

Use Contractor Tubs For Summer Party Food
For summer parties, some people use a kids swimming pool to put ice in to keep food cold. I found that by the end of the afternoon on a warm day, the food is literally "swimming" in water as the ice melts, creating a mess and watered down food in some cases.
Use Wading Pools to Keep Food Cold
