To live in the south, in the backyard is the time of life. We grow food in the sunny area of the backyard in the summer, then harvest the food at the peak of freshness and move to the shady area of the backyard to prepare and eat our domestic bounty. Family and Friends are also enjoying the way of life this summer and often pass by the front door and soon come around the house. to the backyard when they visit, which leads to several impromptu (and planned) backyard entertaining opportunities. Using these easy DIY backyard entertaining ideas helped me quickly pull together stunning outdoor style parties with minimal effort or expense.
Keep the table
Prepare the picnic tablepicnic for meals and invite guests by covering it with a colorful, waterproof towel. Top the table with a vase or two of fresh cut flowers from the flower garden. I leave out recycled flower vases, pitchers and glass vases for use as flying flower vases and passing containers at picnic> every summer. For beauty and to prevent the table cover from blowing away between showers.
Candle Light Dinning
A candlelit dining room is always a special treat and serves double duty for a pleasant afternoon in the backyard after dark. Insect repellent candles (lemon) after dark at noon and arrange candles for utility and arrange them suitable for the decoration of the backyard, put them inside the bird cages and hang them from the neighboring trees to surround the living space of the backyard. Citronella also comes in a tikki torch style, but not the best choice when children are running around.
Recycled candles can also be placed on the table outside and not citronella (citronella candles have a strong smell) candles burning to light food. If the birdbath is in an outdoor space, put a few floating candles and fresh flowers heads in boiling water.
Serving tools
Keeping everything handy is key to quick and easy backyard entertaining, so if you don’t have outdoor kitchen utensils handy, use this caution. The recycler uses two coolers as air-tight storage to store items such as plates, cups, napkins, and the like inside the cooler(s) under a picnic table covered with a waterproof cover when not in use. All the necessary dining room remains available, cleaning and dry. Keep a bucket of clean water and a couple of old towels in the cooler for quick cleanups, too.
Items that should be kept inside the house and can be brought out to the backyard entertaining space with this of wood on the stove and use it to move things out of (back into) the house. The flat-topped Pabo can also be used as an outdoor counter suitable for serving dinner if needed.
