On a clear summer day, there’s no better way to enjoy the beautiful weather than with an outdoor party. There’s something special about spending time outdoors with your friends and family. With a spacious patio or open yard, guests can soak up the sun in a lounge chair, take a dip in the pool, or mingle with friends in the shade.
The central area of a summer party is usually the deck, where most of the chatting, eating, and other activities occur. It’s important not to forget to prepare your deck ahead of time for the festivities! Here are some tips to help you prep the deck for an idyllic summer party.
Create a Cozy Atmosphere
Decor can make or break a party. One great way to both create a cozy atmosphere and keep everyone cool is with a pop-up tent. A tent provides deck shade and is the perfect solution for parties. This is especially useful when the heat is brutal. Keep your guests cool and comfortable with the 10’ x 10’ 40 mm Speedy Pop-up Party Tent. This tent is lightweight and breathable but big enough to hold all your guests. In order to create the perfect ambiance, you could consider incorporating outdoor decorative lights as well. The end result is a space that’s relaxed and cozy but with a touch of style.
Don’t Skimp on Seating
Once you know everyone who will be attending, you can plan out seating accordingly. If you already have deck furniture, it should be cleaned before the party. To make the area more festive, throw a tablecloth over the table or a themed cushion on the bench.
For larger get-togethers, bring out the foldable tables and chairs. If you don’t have enough seating, don’t hesitate to ask your guests for help bringing in more! Wherever you place chairs, make sure it’s on a level and secure surface. Some guests might also enjoy just sitting on the ground with a picnic blanket under them.
Be Ready for the Evening
Don’t let the party stop when it gets dark! Keep the fun going as the sun goes down by encouraging guests to sit and drink an evening cocktail. By this time, the excitement and buzz will have died down, and many guests might just want to relax and enjoy each other’s company. As night approaches, it will start to get cool out. Keep guests warm as they chat the night away with the Four Seasons Propane Patio Heater. With adjustable heating and safety features, this portable outdoor heater is well-equipped to fight off the cold.
