When the warm weather comes {and it really will!} it will pay to already have an idea in mind for your first backyard party. I’m going to help you out today by sharing some brilliant backyard party ideas that will help you celebrate in style. Take a look at the cool things you can do!

If you’ve got a backyard fire pit, then you’ve got the perfect set up for a s’mores party. Provide sticks for roasting marshmallows, and put together a s’mores bar with lots of yummy things to include in the s’mores such as different kinds of cookies, fruits, and hazelnut spread.

Use brown butcher paper to cover your table, and use clippings from your garden to pretty it up. Butcher paper is simple because you can dress it up pretty easily by painting designs on it. Plus, when you’re finished with the party you can just wad it up and toss it in the trash. No extra laundry!

Colorful bandanas can be used to create a lovely, colorful bunting to adorn your celebration. All you need to do is fold the bandanas in half diagonally, knot the corners, and hang them up. So easy!

Present a lovely centerpiece that you and your guests can also snack on. If you’re going to go to the trouble to put together a vegetable tray, let it do double duty. You find anything more colorful!

Wrapping paper makes a cute table runner that can be thrown away when the party’s done. No harm done if any of your guests spill on it! Find fun patterns at Dollar Tree.

Make one giant 4-pound burger and cut it into wedges to serve. It will definitely make a fun, memorable meal!

For a reasonable price, you can make your table look super awesome with fun tableware from Amazon. The best part? No washing dishes afterward!
