Fresh-picked orange party

Invite friends and family over to savor a summer day. This sweet citrus get-together is filled with adorable flourishes, tasty treats and signature sips-it's sure to inspire smiles!

Wow them with a citrus spread

It's easy to throw a fresh-picked orange bash like this one styled by party pro Mariah Leeson (GigglesGalore.net). To get the look, push a table up against a wall. Drape and affix a DIY paper citrus-slice garland on the front of the table; secure with tape. Next, line up serving vessels like trays and pedestal plates, bowls and a drink dispenser. Fill with citrus treats like orange cupcakes, fruit cups, ice pops and more!

Pretty up plates with layered settings

All it takes is a naturally woven place mat and simple dinnerware to set the stage for a stylish place setting. And a pair of citrus slices polish off the look! For each, set a woven place mat or charger onto table. Top with a white dinner plate and add an optional appetizer plate on top. Next, add a grapefruit slice and an orange slice to plate. Add a glass and plastic "gold" flatware.

Tempt taste buds with orange cake

This citrus Bundt offers just enough sweetness to feel like a treat, without the heavy frosting of a typical cake. To make: Whip up a batch of vanilla cake mix, replacing the liquid with orange juice; bake in a Bundt pan. Let cool; place on plate. For the glaze: Combine 1 cup of powdered sugar with 1 Tbs. of orange juice and stir until smooth, adding orange juice 1 tsp. at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

Cool everyone off with an icy citrus signature drink
