Tips to Planning a Stress Free Garden Party
If you are thinking about throwing a garden then here are a few helpful hints to think about to help it go over smoothly.
First, you will want to make sure your garden is in shape for the party. This means that you need to make sure all the weeds are pulled, the beds are in order and that it looks pleasing to the eye.
You can create a nice atmosphere by ensuring you have some focal points set out. Think about investing in some stone garden pots or new terracotta planters to fill with lovely plant and floral arrangements.
The bigger the pot, the better it will stand out which is what you want when creating a focal point. A series of small pots will also work well too!
To plan your party, you will need to make sure you have enough room for your guests. How many people do you plan on inviting? To prep for the party you should really sketch out a floor plan so anyone who is helping you will know exactly where you want the tables and other settings to be.
This way, you will be able to just hand them the sketch and they can help you while you attend to something else.
Another big issue with garden parties is the weather; you will need to form a backup plan in case it starts to rain. If you are going to bring the party into your home (if it happens) then you need to prepare your floors for the foot traffic.
At the very least, you need to lay out some plastic carpet runners to guide guests to where the bathroom is. This way, your major walkways will not become soiled with dirt.
Lastly, be sure to alert your neighbors of your party. They should be informed in case it gets a little loud so they know what is going on. It is a courteous thing to do and they will be grateful for the heads up.
If you plan ahead of time and keep some of these things in mind, you will have a wonderful party that everyone will enjoy!
