When the weather gets hot (and it's definitely hot!) I start thinking about hosting an old-fashioned ice cream social. I used to have them all the time as a kid, but now that I'm grown, I'd like to have a more elevated social with lots of colorful details. 

1. Sprinkles!
2. Chocolate syrup truly makes the sundae.
3. Catch spills and make clean-up a breeze by covering the ice cream table with a cute paper tablecloth.
4. An ice cream starter kit makes it faster and easier to whip up homemade ice cream.
5. No dish washing! Colorful bowls that you can toss when you're done are a must.
6. Every fun occasion starts with fun invitations, like this free download from Eat Drink Chic.
7. Multiple ice cream scoops for multiple flavors--these are only $1.99 each!
8. Chic sugar cone wrappers add an unexpected dose of color and style.
9. Toppings like nuts, sprinkles, or crushed cookies look even more appealing in glass candy jars.
10. These wooden spoons are not only super cute, they're much more eco-friendly than plastic.
