You can always have your party thrown anywhere as they can be celebrated anywhere, but having a garden party is a different thing. Imagine in a garden party you can have a view of the swimming pool or doing all sorts of water activities in the crystal clear waters of the pool of the garden. Aside from getting to enjoy the wonderful view of your garden area and its beautiful plants, you won't have to worry a thing on what to wear as you will only need to be in semi formal attire for the most part as it would be held in a garden either at your own home yard or in a garden resort if your yard would not allow it in your place.
Summer is the best time to host and do garden parties as you can have a weather that is perfect to do any outdoor activity. You can have a walk in the beautiful garden or any surrounding area of the resort while waiting for the party to start or relax under the shade of tall trees with the cool breeze in the area. Garden parties are mostly informal parties as they don't require you to be modest or act your best as the theme of these parties is to enjoy yourself. That's why it's the perfect place for party lovers as they can do anything they want without worrying about to be in their formal clothes.
Although garden resorts are mostly full during the summer, there are many resorts that can accommodate you even during the peak season. You can choose from the many resorts that have special promos to offer to their guests. Take this advantage and pick a resort which has the best offers and have great amenities as well. Most of these resorts are all inclusive to spare you from worrying a lot on bills during and after the party.
You can always do a formal invitation or simply call your guests and have them bring themselves to your garden party. In case you decided on giving out invitations, you can make your party more interesting by using stuffs related to the garden such as balloons.
You can always bring foods for your party which can save you a lot of money instead of buying from the resort. However, there are some resorts that restrict its guests from bringing foods or will require them to pay corkage.
Beverages such as alcoholic drinks are sometimes not allowed on some resorts so make sure that you check in advance whether you can have them or not. You can also buy fruit juice and soft drinks for the kids and the adults.
There are also some other minor things that you should have when planning on having a garden party. Coolers are important to keep your beverages cold and refreshing at all times. Bring a lot of ice as the heat will surely melt them quickly before you know it. If you are planning on having a bonfire, you can ask the resort first if you can have it on their resort or if you should have to obtain a permit first. The safety of your guest is the most important thing to consider when throwing a garden party or any kind of party.
