Summer Fruit Gifts for Parties and Barbecues

Summer is coming and you can make decorating for your birthday parties, barbecues and other summer get togethers easy by using fruit gifts to decorate and to give to your guests. Fruit gifts like baskets of fresh Valencia oranges or mixed fruit assortments containing refreshing grapefruit and oranges are the perfect decoration for summer parties. Healthy and low calorie citrus fruits are wonderful to have at parties for any guests who are watching their weight or prefer to eat healthy. Having fruit gifts as table decorations, bar decorations or poolside snacks is also a great way to make sure that the kids at the party are eating healthy snacks and not sugar filled unhealthy candy or treats. The juice from fresh oranges and grapefruits will help everyone at the party stay hydrated for far less than the cost of sports drinks. Fruit gifts are a must have for summer get togethers.

There are lots of ways that you can dress up fruit gifts to fit into the theme of the party or suit the weather. Oranges and other citrus fruits can stand up to just about any temperature because they are wrapped in a hearty skin, but if you want to serve chilled fresh oranges and grapefruits you can place a fruit arrangement box on dry ice packs, or place the individual fruits in a large serving bowl of ice. If you’re making a tasty punch for the party that will be kept cold you can float bright oranges or grapefruits in the punch to add color which will also help chill the fruit. If you are placing fruit gifts near the bar area to be used in fresh cocktails and smooth frozen drinks it’s a great idea to keep the fruit chilled so that the drinks are cold when they are made.

Fruit gifts can also be customized by adding special ribbon, wrappings, stamps and stickers and other decorations. There’s no limit to the fun you can have decorating fruit gifts for summer events except your imagination. Whether you are buying fruit gifts for a kids birthday party, a Fourth of July party, a pool party or an anniversary party there are fruit gifts you can get which will fit perfectly into the theme of the party. Customize those fruit gifts with your own personal touches and your citrus fruit party decorations will be a huge success.
