Get Your Outdoor Area Ready for Independence Day!
6/30/2022Set the tone on the front porch
A great first impression goes a long way! Consider the front of your home like the
smile on your face when you meet someone new for the first time. You’re likely
throwing the get-together in the backyard but decorating the front porch or
patio area of your home can get guests excited about the party and set the
right tone for the rest of the day!
Clean up your backyard.
When your guests walk into your home, you need to already have a welcoming and
clean environment they can feel comfortable in for a while. You do not want to
present a backyard that’s off-putting from the moment guests arrive. Make sure
you set aside time before the party to take care of the landscaping and yard
work you’ve been putting off. Something as simple as a fresh-cut lawn can make
a huge difference in the look and feel of your outdoor patio area.
Help your guests feel comfortable with a cozy and safe seating arrangement.
Giving your guests a comfortable place to retreat and relax should be the priority!
Consider your current set-up, does your furniture provide enough area for
visitors to get comfortable? If not, make sure there is enough seating arranged
in a “circle” shape to encourage mingling. These are important factors to
consider as you plan and prepare for the party.
Outdoor Entertainment!
This is the fun part! First, make
sure there is music on when your guests arrive. Make sure that there are plenty
of things to do when they get there. The fourth of July is a celebration of our
country’s freedoms so make it a party! Set out activities such as cornhole to
encourage people to have fun and interact with each other, stress-free!
Set out a table full of snacks and
drinks, even if you do plan on grilling a meal! This way, everyone can help
themselves, which also benefits the host! But make it 4th of July
themed, with a red, white, and blue tablecloth, cutlery, plates, cups, and other table
decorations!
Set out a “favor table” with
sparklers, hats and masks for pictures, and other items that bring in all-night
celebration vibes!
If you have enough room, consider even showing off your own fireworks display! Your guests will be wanting to come back every year.
Have Fun with Red, White and Blue Color Scheme!
At the end of the day, you can’t let the meaning of the party fall by the
wayside. Don’t forget to show off your patriotism with red, white, and blue
decor and accessories inside and outside! The plasticware, cups, and other paper
products, as well as streamers and balloons, are necessary, but you can also
incorporate stylish design features into your cozy setup as well. A gorgeous patriotic
area rug can bring comfort to your feet while a few red and white throw pillows
on the patio furniture can set the tone for the party if the goal is to sit
back, relax and celebrate!
