Garden Party Gala
If you are looking for a great idea for a party, consider a garden party. One of the best things about a garden party is that it can be a grandiose affair or a more casual and laid-back gathering.
If you have a great yard that you would like to show off, then by all means have the
party at your home. An alternative would be to check out public parks and gardens in
your area. Some of these may require you to reserve an area so be sure you plan it long enough in advance or have an alternate date. If you are planning to have it at your yard or the yard of a friend or relative here are a few ideas to help your party be a memorable event.
If you plan on having a large tent, (it is advisable to make sure you have shade or cover) have them set it up 2 days before your party. That way if it rains a day or two before, the ground under the tent has a much better chance of remaining dry. You can also use the extra time to figure out how you want to decorate and getting a head start on doing so.
Now for the seating and mingling areas. Many places rent tables and chairs, if you rent a tent check with them, they will point you in the right direction. If you plan on having a buffet style meal you will need something to hold the food and accessories. If it is a smaller gathering consider the
English Garden Table and Chairs. You can use just one, maybe set off to the side for holding your goodies or place several of them around to give people a little more intimate type setting if they desire. Whatever you decide, have fun and your guests will too.
