If you are like me then you love having family and friends over to help celebrate any old occasion. When the summer season is here and the weather is being nice to us I love to get outside on the grass and take it all in.
The first thing you will need is good patio furniture. You don’t need to furnish the entire space but make sure that there is enough seating for everyone to sit at the same time. You may want to just get some plastic furniture and call it good but I’d suggest getting wooden chairs because they are sturdier and look a lot better. They aren’t as easily transported though. Having a table or two if you have the room, is great if you plan to hold dinner parties. If not then a few small tables for drinks and snacks will be enough. If you live in a place with a lot rain you may want to avoid some natural fibers and most kinds of cushions. Even if you use synthetic fabrics and cushions with synthetic batting then you should keep them inside or at very least under a canopy so they aren’t soaked through when you want to use them.
Speaking of canopies, that’s my second suggestion. Living someplace with unpredictable weather means that you get used to being rained on without warning. That doesn’t mean you have to accept it though. Get a couple pop up canopies and be ready all the time. They are easily broken down but are sturdy enough to leave up all the time. I know one friend who uses canopies over his farm equipment as opposed to buying large sheds for each piece. It’s a great option since they can be moved so easily and broken down when you don’t want them out.
Canopies are good to have on sunny days as well as a little oasis from the burning rays. I like using picnic umbrellas but unless you have picnic tables they are not stable enough and don’t cast enough shade. If you are hosting in your own garden as well you might not want to punch gigantic holes in your neatly tended grass.
These are just a couple suggestions to help make your next outdoor gathering easier and more pleasant for everyone involved.
