Keep the menu simple.

A simple menu makes life easier for you and your guests, so stick to a few easy dishes. Try portable meals like bratwursts and burgers or refreshing dishes like cool watermelon salad. Fewer trips back and forth to the kitchen makes for a happy host, and curated food choices mean you're serving only the best!
