Garden party - how to turn your garden into the perfect party location in summer

Warm summer nights, delicious food, cool drinks and your friends around you. There's nothing better at this time of year. Would you like to move your next party outside but don't know what you need to consider in addition to the right food and drinks? Here are a few garden party ideas to make your next outdoor party a complete success with happy guests!

Before you get started and your guests arrive, think carefully about where you want to place what. If your garden is a little larger, it's best to set up different areas. For example, you could set up an area for the buffet, a table for the food and possibly a play corner for children and a campfire area. This way, everything is nicely organised and your guests are sure to feel at home. Our multi-game table is perfect for the play corner for younger guests. This allows the little ones to really let off steam and provides some peace and quiet for the parents.

Preparation is everything. Don't forget to mow the lawn, weed the garden and sweep the patio. You should also check your garden furniture in advance.

And last but not least: Think about a solution for bad weather, but of course also for a very hot summer day. We'll tell you how to counteract these problems next.

To be prepared for all weather conditions, check the weather forecast in advance. That way you are prepared for all eventualities. Awnings or gazebos protect you from extreme sun, but also keep light rain from getting your party guests wet or ruining the buffet.

Our robust gazebos such as the Fortun are a particularly good choice. The steel poles of the gazebos provide stability in windy conditions, protect against the sun and even keep out light rain - perfect all-round protection**.

Our awnings, which are available in various sizes, are equipped with very high UV protection and a high water column. This means that two weather extremes are excellently covered in one. You can simply stretch our awning between trees and attach it to the ground using pegs. Stretched over the dining table, the awning immediately creates an inviting, cosy atmosphere**.

Would you like to celebrate a child's birthday in the garden or a colourful, big party with friends? Our Morsom event tent is available in a colourful circus design. So why not organise a summer party with a circus theme? Delight your guests with sweet snacks such as candy floss or popcorn. For children, offer face painting, get a few accessories for them to rehearse a few tricks and you'll make children's eyes light up.

Why not hang up a few matching bunting chains in blue and red in your garden - that way it won't be too colourful and the garden will blend in perfectly with the marquee.

Another plus point: Thanks to the waterproof outer tent, our circus tent is also suitable for bad summer days and can be used in any weather.

Our Freya tipi tent is completely different and much simpler. This glamping tent made of 100% cotton is ideal for beautiful, stylish outdoor parties thanks to its size. When it gets colder outside, the tipi provides a cosy retreat for your guests to make themselves comfortable. Equipped with a few blankets, cushions, seating and lighting, this tent will be the highlight of any garden party.

Your guests are sure to linger in the tent until the early hours of the morning and round off the successful evening with a few drinks and snacks.

The later the evening, the darker and cooler it gets - even in summer. A suitable idea to prevent your guests from freezing is a fire bowl. Set up a few comfortable chairs here - our Tofte camping chair would be a great choice - and you'll have a few cosy hours when the sun has long since gone down.

If there are children at your next garden party, a campfire with stick bread and s'mores would be the perfect end to the evening. We also have a few more campfire recipes up our sleeve that are sure to go down well with your guests.

The right decorations are a must for an outdoor party. Make sure you don't use too many decorations and opt for simpler colours depending on the theme. This way, the outdoor feeling won't be lost and you can place a few real eye-catchers.

Decorate the table to match the theme of your garden party - with a few summer flowers or some sand for the beach party.

You should also make sure you have the right lighting. On warm summer nights, it can get late and your party guests are sure to stay a little longer. To create the ideal atmosphere, a few beautiful chains of lights in trees or candles on the tables will help. Set up a few outdoor lanterns as suitable accents - whether on the table, on the ground or hanging them in the trees. With our Kiruna camping lanterns or Soroya in a simple yet very chic design, you are sure to score points with your guests. Garden party lighting doesn't just have practical purposes. It also serves as pretty decoration for your garden.
