Summer is the perfect season to do outdoor activities and hold outdoor events. Throwing a party outdoors in this season can be a great idea and a refreshing change to the usual indoor venue. Outdoor parties are also very flexible and can adapt to the type of occasion or theme needed. Worried that a formal or black tie event can’t be held outdoors? You can actually turn your front yard into a luxurious and elegant venue with a couple of decorative and lighting touches. Do you want something different from the usual outdoor barbecue party? There are many ways you can spice up your outdoor party and try out themes that are out of the ordinary.
Parties can get extra special when you add a theme to it. You can make your friends know by sending out invitations and inform them of the theme to have them prepare their attire for the event. Give the invite a personal touch by making paper invitations and handing them to your friends personally. Get the venue prepped and decorated according to the theme. If you want a safari-themed party, liven up the garden scene by adding leaves and botanical decorations. Up the ante by putting up props and handmade cutouts of safari animals. Lighting is an important factor even in outdoor parties. Match the lights to the theme of your party. If your party is safari-themed, you can use associated colors like yellow, green and red. Keep the runner color neutral and have the centerpiece green and leafy. Your friends and visitors will surely love the touch of the outdoor venue. You can also invest in an outdoor kitchen so that you’ll find yourself right in the middle of the party, even while you’re cooking.
Pool parties can be given an extraordinary and luxurious twist if you want to. Make the theme and venue fit for the event you will be having. Prepare the lounge chairs, beach balls, and display that beautiful outdoor canvas art to add more life to your pool party! Have the refreshments ready and set up the patio for a fun and lively gathering over dinner. Prepare the lights to give the place a warm and lively glow even at night.
Wanna do something radical for a change? A bus party can be a great idea if your yard space isn’t that wide. You can inquire the capacity and price quotes from party bus limo service providers in your area. Get the final number of your friends or guests that will be attending the party so that you can plan out the type of bus you can rent for the event. You’ll be the talk of your friends by throwing an unforgettable party and having it done while on the go.
Love to go clubbing? Why not bring the club to your own outdoor party? You can hire local emerging talents such as a party DJ and a singer to give them further exposure and also to spice up your amazing party. Hype up the light show by improvising your regular outdoor lights. Bring out the best sounds by setting up an amplifier and speaker system. Decorate the venue with rave and club-themed decorations such as glow sticks, black lights, neon-colored party balloons and reflectorized hanging decorations. If budget isn’t a constraint, give the venue a realistic feel by using a smoke machine for a great electronic dance party that will surely surprise and amaze your friends and guests.
Giving back to the community or supporting a noble cause or advocacy by holding a fundraising party is great outdoor celebration idea. You’ll need to reach out to as many people within your neighborhood and beyond to get not just your friends, but also the community to support the fundraiser’s cause. Make the venue accessible and give it a welcoming feel to attract more participants. Since your party is held outdoors, give the decorations a green, fruity and leafy appeal while applying the same for the centerpiece. Keep the table settings and runners in neutral and pastel colors to complement the green visuals.
You can raise money from your outdoor party through a registration fee or through donations. You can also add fund-generating activities like having an outdoor movie night, a karaoke-themed contest, or a music festival. Not only are these fun activities to share with friends and guests, they’d be willing to shell out extra cash for your party’s cause.
There are actually many ways of creating an outdoor party venue out of your lawn or yard. You just need to be creative and explorative with your ideas. Go for something out of the ordinary and always have your friends help you with conceptualizing, planning and undertaking your outdoor party. So don’t be afraid to try out what you think is a luxurious party to have outdoors.
