Invite Early

The first tip for throwing the perfect backyard get together is to choose a date and send invites early. Give your guests plenty of notice so they can clear their schedules.

You can either do this electronically or mail them out, the old-fashioned route. Whichever way you choose, just ensure that your guests get the invites.

Plan A Diverse Menu  

This is one of the most important parts of any get together. You’ll want to ensure you have diversity in your food and drinks to keep your guests happy. If you’re unsure what to serve, ask your friends and family about their preferences and for ideas as well. They’ll for sure have some great suggestions. But here are a few good ideas to help you get started:

  • A couple of salads
  • Pizza
  • Chips and crackers

As for drinks, you’ll want to have both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. This way, everyone can enjoy themselves regardless of their preference. And don’t forget the all-important dessert! No party is complete without a little something sweet. Cookies, cake, or pastries are always good choices. 

Games and Activities
