Springtime Garden Party

Spring is in the air and what better way to start the season than with a gathering of friends and family. Whether hosting an extravagant soiree or a casual get together, the garden makes for a delightful place to have party. Outdoor parties can be hosted in a number of different types of gardens, from a small yet elegant garden patio to an expansive lush backyard setting. What really makes a garden party great is fabulous food and fun people. Go green and begin with invitations designed online and sent via email or an event page on facebook. Location is everything. If your fortunate to have a pretty yard or patio garden, you can easily and inexpensively plan your party space with some floral fabrics, fresh cut flowers, and a decorative tea or dinette set. Choose bright brilliant colors, that really pop against the greenery. Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns, plates, and vases. As long as you stay within the color scheme this can create an eye pleasing area for your guests to gab.The menu should feature some dainty pastries, fresh fruit and little sweets.  Toss aside the calorie counting for now, because this is an excuse for an indulgence in deliciousness! Iced coffee, tea  and lemonade make for excellent beverages. Serve them chilled in pretty crystal goblets, perfect for an outdoor garden party!
