If you are looking to create a summery feel for your next fondue dinner party you really cannot go past a beach theme to inspire and delight your guests.  Having your guests dress up in their favorite beachy gear (sarongs, flip-flops, hats, sunglasses, board shorts) will bring that fun vibe to your party.

Dress up the indoors and outdoors with beach paraphernalia to create a surfy ambience to make an inviting space for your gathering of friends.

I have put together below a few ideas which are simple and hassle free to start you on your dinner party journey!
