How To Turn Your Garden Into A Place To Party All Year Round

For many reasons, your garden is the best place to hold a party. It’s often the place where you’ve got the most open space compared to other rooms that are filled with furniture. It’s also a place where it doesn’t matter if your guests spill a drink or drop food on the floor, as they won’t stain any expensive carpets or furniture and instead just get soaked up by the grass or concrete. These advantages don’t mean that any garden is ready for a party, though. It takes a surprising amount of effort to be able to throw a garden party, and a lot of planning is required to make sure it goes off without a hitch. With this in mind, here are some of the ways you can turn your garden into a place where you can party all year round:

Feed Your Friends and Family

The heart of any good party is food. Nobody wants to socialize on an empty stomach, so it’s important to make sure all of your guests are well fed at all times. There are many ways you could do this, with anything from a buffet to ordering a take-out. The most sought-after food at any garden party, though, is a good old-fashioned barbeque. Take full advantage of being outside by cooking your food with flames. You might think it’d be hard to control the flames and make sure your food is cooked through but also not burnt on the outside, but with the right grill, this can be easy to achieve.

Once you’ve got the right grill, visit your local butchers for the finest cuts of meat to go on the grill. If you’re also feeding vegetarians or vegans, there are lots of recipes out there for alternative meat-free burgers.

Prepare For All Weathers

The one thing that can really ruin any garden party is the weather. Get just the right amount of sunlight and the right amount of heat, and you’ll feel lovely and relaxed basking in the sun. If it starts to rain, you’ll be a lot less comfortable. Luckily it’s simple to protect yourself and your guests from the rain with a shelter, whether that be a pop-up gazebo or a more permanent fixture. If you’re planning a party for a particularly cold day, consider investing in an outdoor heater to help keep your guests warm.

Get Ready To Carry On Into The Night

If you don’t want your party to end as soon as the sun goes down, it’s important to prepare for the evening as well as the day. Invest in some fairy lights or even some festoon lights to string around your garden. If you want a more relaxed or even romantic atmosphere, consider surrounding yourself with some large candles instead. Whatever you choose, make sure it gives off enough light so you can clearly see your guests, your drink, and how to get back to your chair when you’ve popped inside to the bathroom.
