So you’re having a party in a few weeks. Weather permitting, you plan to use the patio, but you need another table or two. What to do?

You can always rent tables from party supply companies. But why not just move a casual inside table outdoors? Just make sure the sky is clear if you do so.

Another easy, affordable option is to place a piece of plywood over two sawhorses, then cover with a long tablecloth. Grab some casual chairs and you are good to go.

Have a great weekend!
