For older kids (maybe a Girl Scout troop) or for you and your friends, throw a card-crafting party. Before your guests arrive, put out a spread of crafting supplies like cardstock paper, scissors, glitter, markers, glue, ribbons, etc. If it’s an all-adult gathering, serve wine or champagne with cheese and fresh fruit and of course, lots of sweets. For an under-21 crowd, go with muffins, cupcakes and cookies served with strawberry milk or fruit punch.
