Summer Parties And Picnics: Your Guide to Hosting the Perfect Event

Summer is here, and it’s the perfect time to gather friends, family, neighbours, or colleagues to bask in the sunshine and create unforgettable memories. Whether you’re planning a BBQ, a birthday bash, or a picnic, the key to a successful summer celebration lies in the details. Here’s our guide to planning an unforgettable event:

1. Start your planning by picking a theme. This simplifies everything from your menu to your décor and helps your event truly stand out. Here are some popular summer party themes:

•    Classic Garden Tea Party: Create a relaxed atmosphere with scones, finger sandwiches, lawn games, and nostalgic floral décor.
•    Union Jack Theme: Deck out your space in red, white, and blue, serving British favourites like fish and chips.
•    Bohemian Party: Create a laid-back atmosphere with flowy fabrics, lanterns, and comfortable floor cushions.
•    Garden BBQ: Serve up grilled burgers, sausages, fresh salads, and refreshing drinks.
•    Outdoor Picnic: Gather blankets, cushions, and a well-stocked picnic basket.

2. Create a guest list, taking into account your available space. Send paper or digital invitations stating the date, time, venue, theme, dress code, and any other helpful information.

3. No summer party is complete without delicious food and refreshing drinks. Curate a fantastic menu of fresh, easy-to-eat dishes that suit your event, theme, and venue.

4. Source the right party accessories, from tableware and serveware to decorations, that match your theme and capture the spirit of summer.

5. Get fun party games, activities, and music to keep your guests entertained. Don’t forget party favours to gift to competition winners and other attendees.

6. Above all, prioritise your guests’ comfort; check the weather forecast and prepare backup plans such as gazebos or an indoor venue alternative. Also, set up a photo booth so guests can take pictures and create memories.
