Party Details
You should definitely convey summer throughout your party with a touch of elegance. So, here are a few party decorating tips to get you started.
Summer Tablescape –Place simple floral arrangements on all the tables and surround them with beautiful tealight candles to create an intimate, ambient feel.
Party Decor – Since it’s outdoors and your party is later in the evening, be sure to string up lights throughout your yard. Hang beautiful white paper lanterns in the trees, mason jars with candles and create a wonderful light, airy feeling to your party.
Party Favors – Parties outdoors are wonderful, however, there are many factors that can affect your party. So, be ready. If you’re preparing for a warm night ahead, let paper fans be your party favors.
Maybe you’re planning on dancing, well let them kick off their shoes with flip-flops that you will offer them. You can even be creative and give the essentials of summer in a goodie bag. Sunscreen, bug repellent, travel fan and flip-flops would be great!
Summer Food – Everything should be kept light and refreshing. Shrimp cocktail, veggie kabob, fresh fruit, light sandwiches, canapes or bruschetta all will make wonderful appetizers for your party. Light, cool and refreshing is the key, especially if the warm summer heat is already upon you.
Sweet Treats – S’mores, sundae bar, ice cream and popsicles are great items to help everyone cool off. S’mores are outdoor classics, while a sundae bar lets your guests get creative and eat the treat they they’ll enjoy.
Now, it’s time to kick-start summer with a fun countdown! Use fireworks or bells to ring in the start of summer. It’ll be a great way to get all your friends together and have a wonderful night!
