~HOW TO HOST A BACKYARD PARTY~

1. Spend 2 hours on Pinterest looking for decorating and entertainment ideas.
This step is crucial to the planning process. You want to make perfectly sure that your table decorations and backyard games are trendy, visually attractive and entertaining. Giant Jenga is always a safe option, as are sparklers, and Frisbee. 

2. Don't put a lot of planning into the event. 
After spending an exorbitant amount of time on Pinterest, there's not much left to do! Tables are easily made out of plywood and saw horses, camping chairs/wooden stumps provide seating and blankets can be laid out on the grass for children. Make sure you have plenty of food, scrounge up some wood for a fire and you're good to go. 

3. Use Christmas lights for ambiance. 
You want your guests to feel like they are in the backyard of a mansion in up-state New York - not some ranch-style home in  Missouri. Christmas lights help create this effect. Just make sure you do not exceed the amperage limit on the fuse or your lights will do weird blinky things.  

4. Make a last minute trip to Dollar General for necessary items. 
While you were stringing up the lights, you probably realized that there are still mosquitoes infesting the yard. Drive to DG ten minutes before your guests arrive to buy citronella candles and chocolate. 

5. Provide sparklers. 
Both adults and children love sparklers, plus the sparks make for beautiful pictures. It is a festive way to close out the night!
