Outdoor Events
Sometimes the weather is so perfect you just have to entertain
outdoors – use these tips to make sure the sun shines on your event.
Outdoor Events
* Light a piece of charcoal placed inside a foil-lined terra cotta pot (a small one
works best) to cook tabletop smores.
* Write on linen napkins with a felt marker for fun, easy and usable seating
place cards.
* Punch holes in your paper plates and tie a ribbon around a napkin, plastic
utensils and then through the hole. It’s much easier for your guests to grab one
item instead of ve!
* Serve shot glasses half-lled with ketchup and french fries pre-dipped as quick
and easy snackitizers.
* Paper cupcake liners (with holes poked in the bottom for a straw) make great
lids for drinking glasses at an outdoor party to keep bugs out!
* Patterned duct tape dresses up water bottles at a hot outdoor barbecue party
(and hides the labels).
* Place veggie dip in shot glasses with a few pre-sliced veggies (carrots, celery,
zucchini, toothpick-skewered tomatoes, etc.) stuck in them for fast and healthy
snackitizers at an outdoor event.
* For a pest-free picnic table, simply add two drops of peppermint or lavender
essential oil to 32 ounces of water, add to a spray bottle, and use it to wipe
down the legs, benches and top of the picnic table.
* If your yard has dirt patches or spots where grass won’t grow, pick up some
bales of straw from your local home improvement center to cover them up and
prevent guests from tracking dirt inside the house.
* If your outdoor shindig will be continuing past sunset, set out a basket of
blankets for friends to grab and use throughout the night.
