A garden party is a fantastic way to show sophistication and entertain your guests outdoors. The beauty of a garden party is that you can use it to celebrate anything: birthdays, graduation, work promotions, and anniversaries. Talking about anniversaries, don’t forget flowers for anniversary setups to make your event better and more colorful.
Having the perfect bouquet is a way to boost your garden party and a great way to decorate and bring any special occasion to life. The fantastic colors that flowers have bring any garden party to life. It’s up to you to choose the perfect combo.
10 Ways to Have the Perfect Garden Party
There are more than ten ways to make the event unforgettable, but we will cover the essentials.
Hire the Party tent
A party tent is an essential item for any backyard bash. Whether you are hosting a large fundraiser for charity or simply celebrating with friends and family, you can make sure everything runs smoothly. You need to be able to host your guests in the most comfortable way possible. For that reason, it’s important to look for an easy-to-use, convenient size of party tent. Hiring a party tent is an affordable way to make your backyard memorable. It can also be used to entertain guests during the day, which is perfect for your brunch or dinner.
Create the best table setting
When creating the best setting, consider the occasion and also go for something exquisite and elegant. Having those great pastel colors for an anniversary or a bridal shower could make it look elegant while having very bright colors for a kiddie’s party could be just perfect.
Having lit candles at an evening garden party could also light up the place and make the occasion special. The ideal tablecloth, cutlery, and plates are also essential. You can even bring your standard dining table outdoors if you feel the outdoor dining table is too small. No matter the occasion, the ideal setup is essential, and when it comes to the table, don’t be afraid to explore.
The thing is, people notice the special effort and enjoy diving into the occasion. So, a little innovation goes a long way in this regard. If you’re clever about how you do it, there’s no need for any big expenses either.
Serve Special Cocktails
Those extra special drinks are a must-have for any garden party. What better way to light up any party than bringing out that cocktail table? Adding a couple of edible flowers and combining them with lovely and tasty bright-colored fruit to your drinks brings life to any party.
Mixing up the best cocktails and using the perfect ingredients will make your party exciting and create that vibe that always leaves guests amazed. The more adult kind of cocktails have a dual function. They make things seem a bit fancy, while also easing people into the social occasion through their alcoholic effects. That way, you’re onto a real winner! You’ve created the ambiance through the stylish presentation, as well as a little chemistry to help things along.
Select the Perfect Music for your Occasion
Music has been known to affect the mood of party guests. Therefore having the perfect playlist is essential. Music makes people feel happy and excited, and also have fun. Now, it’s true that not everyone likes all kinds of music, so there’s a bit of thought that has to go into the selection.
Here are some tips when selecting the perfect music for your garden party
- Make sure the music goes with your theme
- Do some research and find playlists that are suitable for your party
- Consider the guests you would be entertaining
- Have variety in the song list, mix it up
- Select some songs that are not popular
- Make sure you have the right volume at the right time: have a DJ to control that
- Do a dressed rehearsal
Have a Great Menu
Food is similar to music and can determine how your guests react and enjoy the event. If the event is formal, then you would consider serving something elaborate/exquisite and less of a snack. Imagine serving hotdogs at a Christmas dinner, for example!
Make sure the food you serve will fill up your guests and keep them wanting more. If you go fairly broad with the dishes on offer, you’re almost certain to have a little something for everyone to enjoy. It also makes sense to opt for widely popular choices, to maximize the effectiveness.
Prepare Thank You Gifts
Preparing a thank-you gift that your party attendees can take home can make your event extra special and keep them talking about it for days. You can have great gifts by selecting whatever suits your budget.
There are some low-budget and yet still beautiful gifts that your guests would love. There’s no need to break the bank. Tokens of this kind will tend to add that extra shine to your occasion, regardless of actual value.
Glam up your Ice Bucket
Fill your ice bucket with flowers and colorful fruits like strawberries and blackberries. This keeps your wine chilled and decorates your table. Nothing says “style” quite like a bottle of champagne chilling among fruits and blossoms, and it can be quite cost-effective too.
Consider Less Formal Set-Ups
Consider a picnic setup instead of using a table, although the setup depends on the theme of your party. Scattering cushions and laying a picnic blanket could be just what can set the mood.
While this option will suit a specific casual crowd, it’s usually a winner when you get it right. We all have a few “no-fuss” friends in our circle, and this is one for them.
Have a Dress Code
You can ask your guests to wear all-white or floral outfits. Having a dress code makes the guest have less stress in picking out an outfit. Depending on which code you opt for, you can really steer your event in the desired direction this way.
Play Games
Have themed games to have more entertainment at the party and engage your guests. Again, this option will suit some folks better than others, so a little forethought is required here.
Serve Amazing Desserts
Cut fruits into unique shapes and bake amazingly shaped puff pastry. It may seem like a small and silly idea, but it can be very effective if you do it right. It’s all about making those little ideas pop!
Finally
As much as the setup, food, and drinks are important, the beauty of an event is having people to share it with. Make sure your guests feel at home and have fun. That’s the acid test of any function. If your guests seem to be having a good time, then your ideas and choices have won the day! Enjoy yourself with everyone else.
