Here’s a great option for a casual get-together with friends and family: Forgo the typical evening dinner party and invite guests over for brunch. “What a great excuse to surround yourself with the people you love most,” Ty says. “And if the weather allows for an outdoor gathering, even better!” With the help of his friend and L.A.–based designer Erinn Valencich, Ty presents a complete plan to host your own backyard brunch for six. Enjoy!
