Easy Entertaining: A Dessert Buffet

Let guests help themselves to a few simple sweet treats.

The Invite 

You may not be serving Grandma's recipes at your gathering, but your invitation can still convey old-fashioned charm. To make the one pictured here, download the Print and Mail Dessert Party Invitation and print it on standard card stock (shown: Solid Collection 8 1/2-by-11-inch sheets in Kraft, $40 for 250 sheets, papercompany.com). Punch a hole in the upper-left-hand corner and tie a knot using bakers' twine or kitchen string.
