August – National Peach Month

There are many exciting things happening in August. It's that time of year when school starts back and we're getting closer and closer to fall. However, one thing that comes to mind during august is that it is National Peach Month. How can you celebrate this? There are lots of ways you can celebrate National Peach Month and Wedding and Party Network has a few tips and ideas.

Holiday history – First off, what is this holiday and what is it all about? This holiday is just how it sounds, it's all about celebrating peaches. August is definitely the prim season for peaches, so it's all about celebrating their flavor and just the fruit in general. So, how do this celebratory month get started? Actually President Ronald Reagan started this holiday since peaches helped out with the economy and food supply. Why not celebrate peaches?

Party decorations – If you're thinking you have to take peaches and make those part of your party decor, you definitely don't have to do this. Think about incorporating the colors of peaches into your party or peaches are normally associated with summer or that type of vintage feel so you can host a party that features those type of themes. Pick a theme, color or even create peach decor and just run with it for your party.

Peach infused food – This is where you can really get creative. There are actually so many recipes that feature peaches, especially desserts. Create a peach, prosciutto and ricotta crostini, peach and tomato gazpacho, grilled peaches or even a peach and arugula salad.  For the main dish, a pork tenderloin with grilled peach-ginger chutney or halibut with peach salsa. There are so many ideas, it will be hard to narrow down what to serve for dinner. However, your main focus should definitely be on the desserts. You can go with a peach cake, peach cobbler, peach ice cream, peach pie, carmelized peaches with ice cream or even a peach tart. Again, so many dessert ideas that it will be hard to narrow it down to just a couple. Definitely talk with your caterer to discuss some creative peach ideas, they will have great ideas.

Celebrate August with a peach inspired party in honor of National Peach Month. There are so many different ideas, and definitely tasty food to be had for this party.
