Hosting a party can sometimes be quite stressful, especially if you're short on entertainment ideas. We've put together a little guide to give you some tips on how to make your outdoor party go off with a bang. Firstly, atmosphere is really important. Holding a party outdoors gives you a great chance to make the most of your space without having to worry so much about mess, so try hanging up colorful streamers or bunting. Paper lanterns are also cute and if the party's at night, fairy lights are lovely.
Food is a great source of party entertainment and is guaranteed to keep your guests happy. Outdoor parties are great for innovative food solutions if you're having a summer party, you could try having a picnic on the grass and, for an extra twist, make it a theme picnic. Barbecues are also a great way of getting everyone excited and the delicious smell of the food cooking will guarantee everyone will be staying for more. Go for finger food that's easy to eat to avoid mess and cutlery.
A fantastic form of outdoor party entertainment is a disco. Whether you choose to do the music yourself or hire a DJ to take care of it for you, it's a great idea to make use of all that space outside and get people dancing without having to worry they'll break anything. You don't even need a clear day to do it you can hire a big marquee and set it up so people will have somewhere to take shelter if it rains.
Whether your outdoor party is for adults, kids or both, it's a great idea to have a few party games ready to spice things up a bit. Outdoors is great for playing hide and seek, particularly if you've got a big garden or space. You could have little prizes as rewards for the winners to encourage them to play. Alternatively, one party activity that's guaranteed to get people interested is the piata. Hang a piata full of sweets from a tree, get a stick and bash away for instant entertainment.
Sometimes at parties, there can be a lot of excess energy that needs to be burned off. You could arrange some outdoor races to keep things interesting and people engaged. Try holding a sack race to get a bit of competitive spirit going or, if you fancy a laugh, get people to walk fast with a cup of water on their head. You could also hold an egg and spoon race. With so much to choose from, you're guaranteed to find a way to make your outdoor party a success.
