How To Host A Memorable Garden Party This Summer
Summer is on the horizon. The prospect of spending the weekend outdoors, basking in the warm sun as you unwind after a long day at work or catching up with friends is soon about to be a reality.
A fun way to spend time with others is attending a garden party. It is a chance to enjoy the warm summers sun as you spend the day socializing with friends that you have not seen for a while. If you have recently moved houses or have renovated your backyard space, a garden party is a perfect time to showcase your new outdoor area.
Planning and hosting a garden party does not need to be a costly affair. There are affordable garden party ideas for those on a budget to help you create a memorable day. If you plan to host a gathering this summer, here are a few ways to help you create a unique garden party.
Choose A Theme
When planning a garden party, choosing a theme can help you decide how to decorate your garden. Aside from helping to design how you will decorate, selecting a theme is a unique way to add more character to the party. It also helps to set the foundation of a memorable garden party.
If the theme of the party is Independence Day, for instance, then white, red, and blue will be prioritized. July 4th inflatables will be inflated to fill the space with patriotic symbols, as these blow-up creatures can come in the shapes of Uncle Sam, the Statue of Liberty, or anything that you think will complement the patriotic scene.
The theme does not necessarily mean that guests have to dress up to match the theme.
Alternatively, you might not select a theme. Instead, you may choose to transform your garden into an inviting space that welcomes guests as they arrive and provides them with places to sit and food and drinks to consume. This will of course require some preparation, so get to scrubbing down your deck or patio. You’ll also probably want to ensure the lawn is in a good state for your guests, so consider using a robot lawn mower to get it trimmed perfectly while you handle any other clean-up and prepare food and drink for their arrival.
Food For Thought
What is a party without delicious cuisine for you and your guests to enjoy? You may choose to create a delectable spread of different foods for your guests to sample. Alternatively, you might choose a classic choice and have summer BBQ – a popular choice, especially when the weather is warm.
However, why not mix it up and invite your guests to help you create pizzas. Guests can choose to make their ultimate pizza dream or one that they will happily share with others. Look into investing in a pizza oven from Ooni. You could pick and use a wood fired pizza oven, such as the Ooni Fyra 12. In addition to helping you make delicious pizzas that your guests will rave about for weeks, it also takes up minimal space.
Play Some Games
Bring out the competitive side of your guests by arranging some fun outdoor games. It is a unique way to bring people together and have something they can reflect on when remembering the garden party that you hosted.
If children are there, having fun activities they can take part in allows parents to spend time relaxing and speaking with friends with peace of mind that their children are having fun. Additionally, both parents and children can play against each other, creating memorable moments.
Inviting loved ones around to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or any memorable occasion are more reasons to want to host a garden party. Some of these ideas can help you plan and create a day that many will remember fondly. A day that you may aim to recreate again in the future.
