Summer is here and nothing’s better than a relaxing, enjoyable day or evening out in the warm weather, in the luxury of your own backyard alongside great company. Identifying the type of events you would want to host is of the uttermost importance. Once you envision the effect you want your backyard events to portray, you can start purchasing accordingly.
Wheeled Cooler
An important resource you can purchase is a wheeled cooler. These miniature contraptions are super convenient, as they reduce the need to bartend the entire party. Some of the wheeled coolers come with built-in bottle openers and bottle top collecting bins, which keep the environment neat.
Outdoor Furniture
Another important asset to acquire would be folding chairs, an outdoor table, and a couple of outdoor floor cushions. These are a great accessory to add to your backyard, especially if they are in color coordination with the rest of your backyard furniture.
Lighting
If you enjoy a warm night under the stars with a couple of friends, a good thing to invest in would be LED string lights. These lights, alongside providing good lighting, provide mosquito repellent protection. They are also easy to install. An alternative would be floating lights that light up the entire garden. The presentation of your house when hosting is the most important. 79% of Americans remember a business just because of the sign, and this is the same impact you want your home to have.
Your Entertainment Menu
If you don’t already have a grill, it’s time to purchase one. There’s nothing better than a barbeque in the sunny weather. You should also get some disposable plates and cutlery to avoid too much work afterward. You should also think about the kind of food you’d want to serve. Try to fancy it up. Anything fancy is always more appealing.
Extra Accessories
Another way to decorate your place is to add a hammock or an egg swing. It’s a simple and casual accessory that enriches the house. Something else you can add to make your backyard even more beautiful is a luscious vertical garden. With the flowers in full bloom, this could keep your garden looking elegant. It also provides great aesthetics for your camera-loving guests.
Theme
You can also have themed parties. It could be a casual brunch date, a kid’s fairy-tale party, game night, culture-themed, or a simple barbeque. Planning out how you’d want to entertain your guests is another way to go. There are plenty of ways in which you can entertain your guests.
Movies Under the Stars and Glamping
Something else that could secure a night of entertainment would be to get an outdoor movie screen. That and some popcorn and candy, you’re in for a great movie night. If your space is big enough, you can’t go wrong with a glamping trip, too.
A glamping trip is a good way to mix luxury with adventure. You’d just need a big enough tent to house your guests and yourself as well as your glamorous camping furniture to fill the tent. You may worry about getting all the resources that cater to your specific needs but, in 2017 alone, 40% of homeowners used their homes for entertaining, so you can imagine how common it is now and how many resources are available.
Fun With Water
Since it’s summertime and the heat can be sweltering, get an inflatable pool. An even more fun activity would be building your own mini pool. You could even add water balloons or squirt guns for the kids.
Precautions
Recent studies show that 90% of natural disasters in the U.S. involve some form of flooding. Therefore, plan your event and keep the weather forecast in mind. Not all days will be sunny, and you wouldn’t want any disappointments. Also, be cautious in whatever activities you’ll be doing.
Now that you have some ideas on how to prepare your home for the various events you will be hosting this summer, it’s guaranteed that your parties will be the ultimate show stoppers.
