Host a lovely deck party this summer on your new deck!
Summer is here, and it is the perfect time to get outside and make lasting memories with your loved ones. There’s no better way to welcome summer than hosting a memorable summer deck party. From planning and preparing to creating a welcoming atmosphere and making delicious food and drinks, a summer deck party is the perfect way to kick off the season. Here are some essential tips for hosting a summer deck party to leave your guests impressed and eager for more.
Decorate Your Deck
Evaluate your deck to determine the best arrangement for seating and flow. Arrange furniture to promote comfort and encourage conversation. You can also add colorful and festive decorations to enhance the party atmosphere. You should have enough comfortable seating options for everyone, including a mix of chairs, benches, and comfy outdoor lounge furniture. And don’t forget to provide enough shade with umbrellas or a canopy to protect everyone from the sun.
Add Lighting to Your Summer Deck Party
Outdoor lighting is essential in setting the mood for your summer deck party. Ambient string lights and lanterns create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Spotlights or uplighting highlight focal points of your deck for added drama. Candles and torches strategically placed throughout the space can create a cozy and intimate glow.
Don’t Forget the Food and Drinks
Food is an integral part of any summer deck party. Create a menu that caters to different dietary preferences and incorporates fresh and seasonal ingredients. Prepare finger foods and easy-to-eat appetizers like deviled eggs or sliders so guests can mingle and enjoy the party without having their hands full. Consider serving hot and cold dishes to offer a variety of flavors and textures.
Your summer deck party also needs a well-stocked bar area. Create a drink station with various beverages to cater to all preferences. Provide a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, including summer cocktails, mocktails, and chilled beverages. Don’t forget to put out ice, glassware, and garnishes for a complete bar setup.
Get Your Grill On
If you have a grill or outdoor kitchen, make it the centerpiece of your deck party. Show off your grilling skills by offering a range of meats, seafood, and vegetables. Provide condiments, sauces, and sides to accompany the delicious fare and create an amazing spread. Also, the smoky scent of the food wafting through the air will make your guests hungry.
