End the Summer With a Bang!

Now that the summer is quickly coming to an end its time to plan that huge end of the summer blow out for all your friends and family. If your anything like I am you don't want your parties to go unnoticed and want everyone excited about what you will be planning for years to come. Here are some tips and designs...

Last Beach Party of the season: Bonfire with clambake and smores.

Dance Party: Pick a single type of music and add in a costume party of that genre, such as swing.
Unlike your summer parties this is the end of summer party so move your color motifs from bright peach, Yellows, and lime green to richer colors such as lite pumpkin, golds, and lite moss green (As shown below) Not quite autumn yet.


Traditionally when you buy a picnic table cloth its red and white checkered. They come in so many different colors and themes that there is no need to try and fit that into your theme. Oriental Trading has a huge selection of colors and themes.
Keep lighting low with different types of lanterns and hurricane lamps, even chimineas give off beautiful light and can double as a fire pit for smore or roasting hot dogs.

If your backyard is grass or even cement, try adding a section with some sand nothing says summer like sand between your toes.

If you have a group that you hang with on a normal bases, divide your backyard or your party space inside into different fun time during your summer together. Ex; vacation, amusement parks, travel experiences, and add one section for just the current party. It will bring a wonderful close to an awesome summer by reminiscing and have a few laughs.
