Summer is a great time to host an outdoor party! Whether planning a graduation party, birthday bash, or simply celebrating warmer weather, here are five tips to help you plan and host the perfect summer party.
1. Create an Invitation List
One of the most important steps when planning a summer party is creating a guest list. It’s important to consider how many people will be able to attend and the size of the space you plan on using for the party. Send out invitations to give your guests specific information about the event, such as the start time, dress code, and RSVPs.
2. Pick a Theme
Picking a theme can create a fun and festive feel for your summer party. Your theme could be anything from tropical island vibes to beachy casual or a vintage luau. Once you decide on a theme, use decorations that match, such as streamers, balloons, and fun party props.
3. Prepare Dietary-Based Foods
When planning a summer party, think about what food and drinks you’ll provide in accordance with your guests’ dietary restrictions. Serve light, summery snacks such as chips and dip, fresh fruit, and cold sandwiches and salads. You may also want to provide a variety of non-alcoholic beverages, such as tea and lemonade, and vegetarian or vegan food options.
4. Have Fun Activities
Plan some fun activities, such as volleyball, badminton, horseshoe, or a scavenger hunt to keep your guests entertained. You may want to add in a few board games or card games for those who don’t want to be active. And, of course, don’t forget to have some music playing in the background so your guests can dance and have fun.
5. Plan for Cleanup
Plan ahead for the inevitable clean-up after your party ends. Consider placing trash cans or trash bags throughout the space and having someone help with the cleanup process.
With these tips in mind, you should be well on your way to planning a fun and memorable summer party this season. Happy hosting!
