Temperatures are rising and the evenings are getting longer; summer is starting to feel like it. Besides the fact that summer is the time of festivals and holidays, many parties are also organised in the summer. Is your birthday in the summer, have you graduated or do you just want to throw a nice garden party? Then do it with a summer theme! But how do you organise a nice summer party? We give you the best tips!
A party is always fun with a fun theme. A summer theme ensures that your guests all come dressed up and that immediately makes the atmosphere very fun! For example, go for a Hawaiian theme. Your guests can dress up with fun Hawaiian clothing . This way, your girlfriends come in the nicest Hawaiian dresses and your friends in fun, hip Hawaiian blouses .
As the host of the party, you obviously need to look your best. So, in addition to nice Hawaiian clothing, go for a niceHawaiian hat . For example, choose a nice straw hat .
In addition to ensuring that everyone is dressed for the summer with a fun theme, you can also ensure that the space is nicely decorated. For example, you can turn your garden into a Hawaiian beach by hanging fun flags, placing 'fake' palm trees and laying down sand. Place a fun flower garland on each table. This creates a cheerful whole and a lot of fun later in the evening.
In addition, it is of course super fun to organize games during your party. A game of limbo dancing is of course a must at a summer party. Is the weather really nice and are you celebrating your party in a large garden? Then provide some cooling with an inflatable pool. Make sure you inform your guests in advance, so that they can bring their swimming gear!
A summer party naturally includes delicious cooling drinks. It is super fun to serve nice summer cocktails or make a jug of sangria. But you can also serve nice summer beers. Also remember that it can be warm, so make sure you put down enough water. It is very nice to brighten up your water by adding mint, lemon or other fruit. This is not only super tasty, but also provides a nice, colorful decoration.
A summer party is of course a great moment for a barbecue. But this is not always convenient. You don't want everyone to be balancing plates of food all evening. That's why finger food is ideal. Put a few nice planks with summer snacks on the table and let your guests enjoy your cooking skills. What you should pay attention to in any case is that the food must be able to stand for a while in warm weather.
No matter how nice the weather may seem, we still live in the unpredictable Netherlands. Unfortunately, it can be that the weather is nice all week, but it starts raining on the day of your party. So always make sure you have a back-up plan. Can you move your party indoors or are there enough party tents? In addition, it can cool down in the summer evenings. So make sure you have enough blankets or finish your party with a nice campfire. With marshmallows of course! ;)
