YOUR OUTDOOR PARTY Remember fun? It’s primed for a comeback at social events you host this summer. Thus, a few tips.

In case you haven’t opened your home to guests in the past two years—or simply want to elevate your entertaining game—BERGEN asked Aimee Petersen of The Perfect Shindig, a Wyckoff-based party planner, for suggestions.
