Planning Your Outdoor Event
The backbone of any backyard party is, of course, the guest list. Who makes the cut? Who gets the golden ticket to your grand extravaganza? Remember, the key here is balance. After all, you don’t want to turn your backyard into a bustling town market. So, grab that notepad and start listing!
Tips on Deciding the Date and Time Considering the Weather
Timing, as they say, is everything. Especially when you’re hosting a celebration outdoors. You want to throw your bash when the sun is shining, not when it’s pouring cats and dogs. You might think it’s hard to predict the weather, but a quick check on your weather app can give you a good idea. Aim for a day when the sun is out, but the temperature isn’t soaring.
An afternoon party is great for smaller children, while an evening event can be exciting for older children. If you’re brave enough, why not carry on into the night? Just be sure to provide some warm options if the temperature gets cooler.
Inviting Friends and Family
Once you’ve locked down your guest list and date, it’s time to send out those invites. You can go old-school with paper invitations, which add a personal touch. Or, if you’re looking to save time (and trees), go digital! Don’t forget to ask your guests to RSVP so that you can plan accordingly. And remember, the earlier you send out your event invites, the better chance you have of your guests keeping that day free.
