Install home entertainment speakers with superb sound quality for a great background music for outdoor parties while enjoying a glass of wine.
- Setting Up: Mow the lawn two days ahead of the gathering so it looks its fullest, trim unruly plants, pot some colors around the front door and fill bare patches around the garden. Set up the tables and carry out the flatware, stemware, and china the day before the outdoor entertainment. Leaf inspired place mats, and bronze-handled flatware can lend the textures of the garden to the table. Cover the tables with inexpensive but uniquely attractive drop cloths. Set out a border of citronella candles if the party is to last beyond dusk.
- Choosing a Menu: Select dishes that can be made well ahead of time. Pre-plate the first course to quietly call mingling guests to the table. A buffet of cooked seafood, antipasto, chilled salads and smoked meats needs only a garnish to beckon hungry diners. Served and easy-to-prepare entrée that paves the way for a dessert cart filled with classic temptations.
- Decorating Ideas for Entertainment Area: Take decorating cue from the garden, using colors of flowers in bloom. A foliage-filled porch makes a wonderful setting for spring outdoor entertainment.
