Summer is my favorite time of year, with hot sunny days and warm breezy nights. Everyone's moods seem to lift, creating the perfect time to host a backyard bash. There are summer birthdays, Father’s Day, 4th of July, graduation parties, showers, and weddings, but my favorite days are when it's just an impromptu family get-together. These parties call for quick setup and easy clean-up! Keep these essentials on hand for a stress-free day!

Unbreakable Pieces

Melamine dishes and serving pieces are perfect for a stress-free day! Whether you have little ones running around or tipsy guests, you don't want to be cleaning up shattered glass. I like to go with pieces that fit my decor and look realistic, like these pieces from Crate & Barrel.

Cooler Carts

This cart is the epitome of form and function. Crafted of beautiful acacia wood, it's perfect for creating an outdoor drink and frozen dessert station. There's even a built-in bottle opener, towel bar, flip-up shelf on the side, and slotted shelf below to store everything you need.

Fun + Games

I'm all for fun and games, as long as they go with my decor! There are so many options for outdoor activities that are not only fun to play but are stylish too! I love this bean bag toss because the two boards clip together, and everything gets stored inside, perfectly organized!
