7 Must-Haves for a Fun Garden Party

Having a wonderful garden is quite an accomplishment and we congratulate you! However, if you want to host a fun party under the sun, you have a few more things to do to get ready. To help with that, we have put together a list of must-haves so you can put together a lovely garden party everyone will enjoy.

6 Garden Party Must-Haves

1. Large Parasol

Though it’s nice to feel the sun on your skin for a while, you still need your garden party to have shade. Not to mention, the weather can be finicky and you don’t want any summer rain to ruin the mood. Getting a large parasol is essential because it will shelter you if you need it and it will add to everyone’s comfort.

2. Outdoor Bar or Drink Table

If you already have an outdoor bar area, you should make sure it’s stocked up on cold drinks, ice, and refreshments. We recommend you make things accessible to everyone so you don’t have to worry about serving. If you don’t have an outdoor bar area, you can get an inexpensive outdoor bar or set up a drink table and make sure there’s a cooler.

3. Outdoor Furniture

You need to make sure your garden party is comfortable for everyone, so you need some outdoor furniture. If you don’t have it, consider investing in it. Outdoor furniture is not just for entertaining, you will get a lot of personal use out of it whenever you need to unwind, read, drink your coffee in peace, and more.

4. Extra Seats

Of course, depending on how many people you’re having over, outdoor furniture may not be enough. That’s why you need to have extra seats for your garden party, just in case. Deckchairs, folding chairs, camping chairs, and other options will work well.

5. Water Dispenser

If there’s one thing you don’t want to worry about during a garden party is water. Being under the sun makes you thirstier, so make sure there’s a water dispenser for people to help themselves. You can keep the ice in the cooler by the bar and let people know or top the water dispenser with ice from time to time.

6. Food Covers

You know how annoying flies and other pests can be when there’s food outside. You spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing all the good food or you paid good money for it, so you should keep it protected. Food covers will go a long way and they will help keep the food fresh for longer.

7. Speakers

A garden party needs a good playlist playing in the background, so you need to set up speakers. This will help you create the ambiance you want for the garden party and set the proper tone.
