Summer Porch Side Parties
Hosting a summer party on your outdoor space and need some decor inspiration? We’ve curated three fun and easy themes for hosting a summer soirée outdoors - Garden Theme, BBQ, and Porch Side Party for the kids.
Select a bold floral pattern plate as the focal point to the garden themed tablescape. Accent the florals with natural elements, as seen in the woven napkin rings, natural rattan pitcher & matching glasses, and in the bamboo sliverware. Complete the look with a pair of topiares flanking the porch or on either side of the table, if space permits. Lanterns can also be used as centerpieces for the table, as they not only provide ambient lighting, but also an opportunity to add more flowers either affixed outside or peaking inside through the glass doors.
A BBQ is a quintessential Summer activity and convenient, yet stylish options will help your guests stay comfortable for your event. An outdoor bar is a great staple to have year round, but it will get the most use helping your guests cool-off from the Summer heat. This particular bar has a cover that will keep the drinks & ice cold. A silverware caddy is another great addition to this outdoor event. Easily carry and contain all the silverware you need, while displaying it for your guests to easily access. A chic tools set can show your guests that you take grill-duty seriously; it can also serve as a great host/hostess gift!
Keep it colorful for the kids and layer in a rainbow of colors into the tablescape for their outdoor party. Colorful options for plates, silverware, napkins, etc. bring a lively mood without being too predictable or juvenile. The colorful options pop nicely atop the neutral kid friendly picnic table. A jumbo sized lawn game helps entertain not only the kids, but the kids-at-heart, as well!
