How to Throw a Summer Patio Party with Outdoor Patio Furniture and

A summer patio party is a great way to enjoy the outdoors. For this sunny season, bring out your outdoor patio furniture and get out your most colorful dinnerware. A summer patio party should be relaxed, welcoming and as colorful as summer itself. Here are some great ideas to host your own summer patio party.

Decorate with Dinnerware Keep your tabletop simple. Opt for a classic wood picnic table and dress it up with colorful dinnerware. Choose dishes separately or mix and match several sets in solid colors. Use colorful plastic glasses to serve the drinks. Fruit juices and cocktails also add color to a table. Display drinks in clear glass jugs for colorful coolers that double up as table decor.

Dress Up Outdoor Patio Furniture with Colorful Cushions Cushions and throw pillows are a great way to add color to your outdoor patio furniture. Mimic the beautiful colors of summer with a lively blend of solids, stripes and polka dots. Choose bold shades like fire-engine red, cool aquamarine, sunshine yellow, leafy greens and bright oranges. Consider using monogrammed pillows to add a personal touch to your party decor. You can also use boldly patterned area rugs and monogrammed cushions for an informal summer seating arrangement. Place groups of planters full of summer greenery and flowers among the pillows to give your guests the feeling of sitting in a wonderful and exotic summer garden.

Have a Tapas Party Summer is a great time to throw a tapas party. Serve a mix of appetizers, finger foods and salads on vividly colored serveware. Choose foods for their color as well as their taste to create a wonderful summer spread. Consider serving an antipasto vegetable platter with tender asparagus, baby artichokes, roasted red pepper strips, sliced tomatoes, fresh onion rings and Greek olives as a colorful summer salad.

Have a Utility Basket Handy Pack an attractive wicker basket full of summer gear. Your guests will thank you for the extra hand wipes, hats, shrugs and sun block. Add some eco-friendly bug spray and mosquito repellent. If you plan to hold the party in the evening, consider adding some light blankets so that guests can stay warm even on cool evenings.

Use elegant outdoor patio furniture and dinnerware to throw a fun summer patio party.
