How to host a party in 2020

Just because it’s 2020 doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the Summer…safely, of course!

Dave’s pool party BFF Martha Stewart has some tips on entertaining responsibly:

Hold your event outdoors  Evidence suggests the virus is more contagious when we’re packed indoors so do it in your backyard.

Scratch the buffet  Just like at restaurants, single-serving meals are safer.

Serve individual drinks, too  Think cans of soda, beer and bottled water in place of a big bowl of punch.

Keep the desserts simple  Cookies and cupcakes work better than a big cake.

Stock up on PPE  Have plenty of hand sanitizer out along with extra disposable face masks if anyone needs one.

Now…let’s get grilling!
