Hosting doesn’t always mean a full dinner menu and guests staying up way past your normal bedtime. As much as I love a dinner party, sometimes the best gatherings are the ones that wrap up early enough to get into bed by 8PM with your summer beach read.

For this month’s guide I wanted to channel something a little different – summer camp meets garden party. A crafting activity while snacking on a really good cheese board and sipping wine with frozen fruit. No cooking, no cocktails, no fuss. Just an easy activity, a beautiful spread, and a sunny patio.

Inside you’ll find what to put on your cheese board, my favorite summer wines, an activity your guests will love, playlist recs, and everything else you need to pull it off.
