From Melbourne Cup to New Year’s Eve, we know most people love to party! But even seasoned party-planners can suffer high blood pressure at the thought of people descending on their home to celebrate! Especially after long periods
With a bit of planning, your outdoor area can become a well-functioning party space with minimal stress. You’ll be ready for family Christmas dinners, birthdays, weddings and even post COVID lockdown reunion gatherings.
Here's how.
Preparing your outdoor space
Give yourself plenty of time to get your outdoor area ready before your event. Mow lawns, pull weeds, trim trees then add decorative touches of potted colour or garden lights. Clean concrete and brick areas with a high pressure cleaner.
Choose a flat area for dining and dancing. It’s hard to relax when your meal is sliding off the table and onto your lap. Or your efforts to dance the night away are foiled when you twist an ankle on uneven ground! If you do a lot of entertaining and you have a sloping or bumpy yard, why not consider hiring landscaping equipment to level things out?
Organising the party supplies
You may not have the necessities to host larger events but there’s no need to panic-buy enough tables and chairs to furnish a café!
Hiring good quality entertainment equipment is a convenient and cost-effective option.
