Garden Party – How To Behave Tutorial

Year after year, when the weather improves, we are ready to throw a garden party as often as possible. That is why it is worth knowing how to behave and meet friends and family appropriately, elegantly and with good manners, to make them feel good in our garden.

Invitations

How we invite people to a garden party is our individual choice, but it also depends on how formal this gathering will be. If this small event is related to something big, such as an anniversary, the birthday of the eldest in the family or an invitation from our boss, we can even make paper invitations. If the meeting is less formal and we are inviting our friends we can do it by phone or even by email.

Service

Due to the venue of the party, we should not use our best service: our inheritance from grandfather. But it also doesn’t mean that we should serve food on paper plates. When having a garden party near our house or our gazebo, summer house, we must prepare the service as we would do the party in our house: regular plates, forks, knives and glasses. A different situation would be when having a picnic – plastic items should suffice.

Menu

When preparing a menu we must think about all the diners and their tastes. Not everyone eats meat or the only type of meat. That is why we must prepare salads, grilled or fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, let’s make it tasty and variable to give everyone the opportunity of a complete meal. The same applies to liquids, not just alcohols, but soft drinks, tea juices in a thermos.

Be a guest

By going to the garden party (not organizing it) we also have our quotas. The flowers or the bottle of wine for the lady is always in good taste. If the garden party is organized on the occasion of birthdays, we must not forget about a gift. Of course, we should talk to the hosts if there are any courses that we should take with us or with their parties.

Clothing

As for our attire, we must behave the same as with invitations. When the meeting is more formal we should dress formal, if not let it be comfortable. We must also be prepared for bad weather and be prepared so that our high heels can be hidden in the grass.
