Buying or renting your first house is a great achievement. There is no better way to cement your stability in a neighborhood than a backyard party. Now, a backyard party may seem easy, you just host some people, crack a few cold ones, BBQ something and then say your farewells. That was just the scenario of a generic backyard party. No one wants to put an end to a really cool backyard party. You need to realize that moving your in-house party to the patio doesn’t make it a backyard party; you may need to make a few extra preparations.
This will be a guide that can help make your backyard party cooler than ever.
Games
This can be the core of your party. The summer is hot, and a cold cocktail can make a difference. Sipping on a cold drink on a pouch is not really the level of excitement you were looking for. When you’re looking to spice things up, a great addition is beer pong tables, that’s right, the one you unintentionally skipped classes in college while playing. There are a lot of different tables that can add an extra fun dimension to your party that you didn’t even think was there.
Enough Seats for Everyone
No one likes to feel like they’re out of place just because they’re late and can’t find a seat. A few patio chairs won’t make the cut if your guest list is big. Take a look at your indoor furniture and see if there are poufs, dining chairs, or even drum stools that can be brought outside. If seating is a pain for you, you can make it a picnic-style gathering with a lot of quilts on the ground for everybody.
Lighting
The lighting can make or break a party. Bad lighting can ruin a great backyard party once the night sets in. Some ambient lighting can spread a comfortable and cool vibe that’s inviting for everyone. You can hang some lights using strings on tree branches, some hurricane lanterns would also be a great addition to the lighting system. Try to choose a warm glow for some extra elegance.
Music
Music is an art; knowing what to play and at what volume is also an art. Depending on the number of your guests, you may need to rent speakers if your speakers don’t look like they keep up. Keep in mind that this is not a rave, you don’t want your speaker blaring and bumping, causing people to avoid standing near them completely. Place your speakers on a high altitude and make it face the direction of the house for better sound spreading to avoid blasting music directly into people’s ears. You’ll want to stick to the classics and play music that everyone at the party will recognize.
A backyard party is a big deal if you make it a big deal. The amount of fun you can have is endless; allow yourself to get creative. Research cocktails, punches, funky decorations, and anything that can make your backyard party a party to remember.
