How Cupcakes and Cashmere Blogger Emily Schuman Keeps Her Cool When Entertaining

"Whether you're throwing a pool party or a sunset soirée, plan an activity everyone can take part in!" advises Emily. "I love any game, so I'm usually the one heading up the charades or a game of fish bowl. Even if it's a slow start, it usually becomes the highlight of any party (especially after everyone's had a cocktail, or two)," she jokes. Emily, of course, keeps even the lighthearted games stylish with an adorable pool float ($24) or an antique crystal "fish" bowl.
