• Don’t forget the little details. If your party is during the day, ensure that you have adequate shade to make your guests more comfortable. If your party is during the evening hours, add lighting. Hang some string lights and bring out the candles. Citronella is a good choice if your area is buggy.
• Play music. You’ll up the ambiance quotient if you play music while entertaining. Consider creating a playlist just for the event.
