A garden party is an outdoor gathering. It can take place in your private garden, in the open space between two apartment blocks, in the park or outside the city. There are many reasons for celebrating outdoors and that is why in this article we would like to introduce you to a few steps that, if you follow them, will make your garden party a real success and an impressive and stylish event.

The first thing you should do is choose the location where your celebration will take place. It should fit the occasion and offer the opportunity to design individual party areas. Such areas include, for example, a wet bar, tables for catering, a dance floor, a pool and others, depending on the theme of the party. You should also choose and design the decoration depending on the occasion. Arrange the decorations according to the season, your taste, the impression you want the party to leave on the guests or your mood.

Our tips for a perfectly organized garden party

  • Prepare a list of guests. Send the invitations to the guests. It is best to indicate the preferred dress code (official, everyday, swimwear, carnival costumes, etc.). If clothing doesn't matter, then simply don't mention anything about it in the invitation and leave the choice to the guests themselves.
  • Divide your garden area, or rather, the location for the party, just as you would your house if you were hosting a party there. The place should be clean and tidy for a garden party. The lawn should ideally be mowed short and the tables and chairs, as well as all the garden furnishings, should be clean and orderly.

In the evening or during the day?

  • If the celebration takes place on a sunny day, make sure you have enough parasols so that you can spend the whole day outside in peace and quiet. If it takes place on a cooler day, it is important that there are fire pits or heaters for outdoor use. This also applies if the party takes place in the evening. Lighting is an important part that also contributes to the success of the party. Paper lanterns look particularly pretty. You can distribute these at the buffet, around the bar and around the dance floor. Another variant are garden torches and candles. However, these must be additionally secured.
  • Every successful garden party needs a specific theme that determines the organization. This theme should then be reflected in some way in the dishes or through the manner of serving. Think about appetizers, snacks, and desserts that you want to impress your guests with.

Serve drinks and food imaginatively

  • Think about a place for the bar. The different drinks should be there. Depending on the occasion, the tableware can be made of porcelain, crystal or glass, as well as cardboard or plastic for one-time use.
  • The food should be prepared in advance. During the party, only what is cooked is cooked, the preparation of which can be an interesting spectacle for a successful party in the garden.
  • Create a pleasant atmosphere with the right music by placing speakers in appropriate locations. The music accompanies the celebration and puts the guests in a good mood.
