You worked so hard to turn your backyard into the private oasis that you always dreamed it would be. So now that the project is done, of course, you have to show it off to your family and friends, so they can also enjoy this space as much as you do.
And what better way to do that than by hosting the perfect backyard party complete with cocktails and stubby holders? Here are some tips:
- Start with a budget. You already invested a lot in your backyard makeover, so it’s very important to set a budget for your party and stick to it. This will help you stay within your means and protect yourself from going broke just because you’re throwing a party. You can use a budget calculator to know exactly how much you need and make sure that it’s realistic enough for the party that you want to host.
- Don’t spend too much on decor. One of the benefits of hosting a backyard party is that you can essentially skip the decorations since you already have a beautiful backdrop to work with. Now if you must put some decor, keep it to a minimum so that you can use your resources on food, drinks and giveaways that matter more for guests.
- Create a fun and exciting menu. A backyard party is a great opportunity to enjoy good food and drinks in a relaxing environment. So when planning your menu, make sure to go for options that are easy to grab so that your guests can get the food they want and bring it around as they socialise during the party. Burgers, mini sandwiches, chips and skewers are great options, but make sure to also give options for vegan and vegetarian guests. Of course, you can’t forget about the beverages and having stubby holders that can serve as your party favour is a great way to help drinks cold as your guests enjoy the party. Now if you’re on a budget, you can also present the idea of a potluck; and for sure, your family and friends would be glad to bring their contributions.
- Provide a lot of seating. Guests would want to relax while they’re enjoying your backyard. So make sure that you offer a lot of seating options for them to pick their favourite spot. Aside from your dining and living areas, you can also add multifunctional seating that doubles as storage after the party is done. If you’re expecting a lot of guests, you can also rent some tables and chairs to make sure that your guests will be comfortable during your party.
Finally, don’t forget to set the right mood for your party with good lighting and music. You can create a playlist with different types of music that your guests will love. You should also add some lighting around your backyard, especially if you’re doing a dinner party.
