Stay Cool

If you are hosting a party in the summer, keeping your guests cool is a must. For a tasty and refreshing treat fill ice cube trays with water, as well as raspberries or slices of lemon and limes. Once frozen, drop the cubes into a glass of water or lemonade for a delicious burst of flavor. Another chilly option is to fill decorative bins, or even just coolers, with plenty of ice and assorted bottled beverages for people to choose from.

Summer Decorations

Keep the atmosphere of your summer party light and cool with decorations that blow in the breeze. Soft colors and flowing materials will look great around your backyard. Try hanging a paper flag banner in a central location for a fun visual. You can also decorate with an abundance of summer flowers. Get a festive, glamorous feel when the sun goes down by lining a pathway or two with white tea light candles. If you don’t want to buy decorations, you can always rent things like assorted linens from a party supply rental store.

Outdoor Entertainment

Hook up a projector, which are always available to rent, to a laptop and play movies in your backyard. Hang up a white sheet or use an empty wall as a movie screen. Your guests will love gathering around the screen for a good laugh. For good old-fashioned fun, pick out a colorful piñata and hang it up for your friends to take a crack at. You may be surprised how much fun you can have with games from back in the day!
