Top Summer Party Ideas

By Jack Wogan


The best way to enjoy the lovely sunny weather is to throw outdoor parties. According to a recent study, 68.7% USA citizens prefer to spend their summer weekends having backyard parties with their family and friends. Here are the top five theme parties that Americans organize most often in the summer.

There is nothing that relaxes you more in the summer than a Hawaiian party. A few palm trees and orchids are enough to help you recreate the atmosphere of this island in your back garden; replace the usual chairs with exotic hammocks. The Tiki bar is the element that makes the difference, so make sure you hire one from specialized stores and install it in the middle of your courtyard. You need to make your guests feel the Hawaiian atmosphere, so you must give them hula skirts and orchid leis when they arrive at the party.

The Mexican party is not only exotic, but very lively, too, due to the wonderful colors that are used for the decoration and the beautiful music. Party experts recommend people to hang many ponchos, sombreros and piatas, if they want to have an authentic Mexican party. Colors are very important in the Mexican culture; therefore the table cloths and the patio lights that you use have to contain green, orange, yellow and red. In the end, a few fake cactuses will give a finishing touch to your garden dcor and the party may begin!

If you can't afford to go to the beach, you can have your private beach in the backyard, so you will have a lot of fun as you catch a few rays. I love sand, which is why I often transform my garden in a regular beach by spreading sand in the area around the pool. Then, I place loungers for my family and my friends to feel comfortable while they sunbathe. Since my kids love playing beach games, I usually place a volleyball net on the sand and a water slide in the pool, so they can play their favorite games.

The cowboy party is a theme that we have discovered recently, but I am willing to throw such parties again in the future because they are very entertaining. Your guests won't even recognize your old garden if you place hay bales and logs at the place of the regular chairs. Make sure you provide guests with cowboy boots and hats to help them get into the spirit of the party. We even started a backyard campfire as an alternative cooking method to the well-known barbecue.

If you want your party to be a success, you must create the best decor. For that, you may resort to party bag supplies stores as these are the places where you can find party decorations at incredibly low price.
