Do you love entertaining? Inviting friends and family over for dinner and conversation is one of my favorite things to do! That’s why I thought it would be helpful to put together this blog and feature a few fun outdoor entertaining ideas for you to use this summer!

Party Pointers for Outdoor Entertaining

Party Pointers for Outdoor Entertaining

  • Spray paint metal folding chairs for entertaining in the backyard to add some color, or match your party palette.
  • Coat planters with glow-in-the-dark paint for instant night lighting.
  • Scoop the fruit out of oranges, coconuts, watermelons and more and use them as decorative bowls for serving sorbet or ice cream.
