1. Use Facebook invites - These days, everyone seems to be on their smartphones, so you can guarentee all your friends will see the invite. Another great aspect of Facebook invites is that your friends can select an RSVP so you'll have a rough number of guests. It also alleviates the hassle of finding addresses and mailing invites.

2. Pick out simple appetizers - By the time your guests arrive, they've already eaten dinner, so there's no need to make an elaborate feast. Pick out a few simple appetizers that everyone will love, such as a cheese platter, veggie spread, or hot chicken wing dip. The classics are always full-proof.

3. Create a signature drink - People seem to love this. Really, you don't even have to create the drink yourself. Just find what's on sale and look up a cocktail recipe that is classic, like your apps.

Check out some information about how solar hot water collectors can heat your pool. How does it work? Pool water gets pumped through a filter into a solar hot water collector. Solar hot water collectors are thin and generally mounted on a roof. Thin pipes of water then run through the collector. When the sun's rays hit the collector, they heat the running water inside.
