As soon as the spring sun’s rays have arrived permanently, the season of terrace parties can be declared inaugurated.
Organizing a memorable terrace party requires a little planning, but a successful evening is worth the effort.

Heart-covered table “The most important thing is still good company,” says Anneli,
“right on the heels is food that caresses the taste buds and a nicely covered table.”
If the table is already better than good, then just the right crockery and tablecloth will put a dot on the i.
Although disposable cardboard plates are often used during summer sitting, Anneli still recommends using real dishes if possible,
on which the food tastes better when eaten. After all, they eat with their eyes!
Instead of wine glasses with a foot, you can safely use juice glasses, which are much more difficult to turn around. The final touch could be a tablecloth that harmonizes with
tableware, which binds the entire set into a single whole. “Casa Stockmannhas good linen tablecloths that
you don’t have to spend time ironing,” he advises.
A light mouthful in summer For a summer picnic table or terrace party,
light dishes and fresh snacks are ideal for sharing and even eating from your hands.
Inspiration can be drawn from street food – various bruschettas, burgers and salads are designed for summer snacks.
Instead of classic barbecue meat, a lighter alternative could be offered – for example, a grilled duck fillet salad.
A variety of salads are the best choice on a hot summer day when there is no strength or desire to eat something more rambunctious.
For those who can’t make everything themselves, Anneli recommends swinging theStockmann Delicacytowards the meat and salad counter.
“I can’t help but mention the chicken in their kefir marinade, which remains extra juicy when grilled,” he concludes.
