4. Keep drinks cold with frozen water balloons
This would be even better with water added to the vases. More good tips at A Subtle Revery.
5. Make an ice block for punch
It melts slower on a hot day and waters down the punch less.
To make an ice block, just fill any container with water and freeze it overnight — you can use a loaf pan, a cake pan, Tupperware. To release the ice, turn it upside down over the sink and run hot water over the container until the ice block pops out.
