Without further ado, let’s take a look at 13 garden party themes you can try out for your next garden party!<\/p>\n\n\n\n A fairy garden birthday party isn’t complete without storybook decor. Sparkling lanterns, abundant fresh flowers, and whimsical lawn ornaments will set the magical mood. Accessorize with candles (whether real or battery-operated) or string lights. Small, thoughtful touches like personalized place cards will leave guests feeling extra special.<\/p>\n\n\n If you’re inviting a couple of close friends for a garden theme birthday dinner, try our Enchanted – Ivory round table cloth. Pair with the matching Enchanted cloth napkins and a set of taper candles for an elegant, luxurious look that rivals any fancy restaurant you might have had in mind. Top it off with your nice china and a bouquet of flowers\u2014pink to bring out the pastels in the Enchanted table linens!<\/p>\n\n\n Whether for your best friend or a family member, a bridal shower should be treated with as much care as their wedding day. A garden party for a bridal shower begins with the right decor. Floral is always <\/em>a fantastic choice for anything wedding-related, and Orange Blossom is high on our list of refined and colorful linens for such a special day. Don’t forget the place cards and invitations!<\/p>\n\n\n If you’re hosting a dinner party outside, we recommend starting the first course well before sunset. That way, you can enjoy your meal and conversation while there is still light\u2014as the day makes way to night, the glow from your string lights and candles will create a warm, charming atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n Vintage-inspired table cloths like Victorian Lilac (pictured below) will make your vintage garden party the talk of the entertaining season! While Victorian Lilac is a discontinued print, do check out Versailles<\/a> or Orange Blossom<\/a> for more vintage-influenced table linens.<\/p>\n\n\n Lush and ornate, Orange Blossom will pop against your verdant backyard scenery. The same goes for our Tropical Garden collection, which features colorful lilies and red hibiscus blossoms. Coordinate these florals with feminine tea sets and serve ware to complete your garden tea party decor. A rectangle table cloth is also a fine idea for a tea banquet and larger guest lists.<\/p>\n\n\n Celebrate the mid-autumn festival in style using Tropical Garden and fall-themed decor. Yes, Tropical Garden connotes summer and spring, but its color palette definitely adapts to an autumn harvest garden party. Amp up the fall aesthetic with classic motifs like pumpkins and bales of hay.<\/p>\n\n\n What better print to use for your English garden party than our very own English Gardens table cloth? An English garden is decidedly traditional, but relaxed. Maintained, yet natural. In a tablescape, this means setting out a semi-formal place setting complete with a classic floral bouquet and vase.<\/p>\n\n\n Summertime calls for spontaneous outdoor affairs, aka summer garden parties. Bring out the cold lemonade in a large glass pitcher, and set up the table right under the canopy of your backyard tree to enjoy the fine weather with your loved ones. Here, the Enchanted – Ivory table cloth flaunts its versatility.<\/p>\n\n\n Fourth of July is perhaps the quintessential American “garden party”. Granted, most shindigs for this holiday center around barbecues and fireworks, but it’s nice to prepare something more polished once in a while. Try the Starry Nights table cloth to keep it on-theme: cyan and blue stars are decidedly patriotic!<\/p>\n\n\n Morocco is no stranger to outdoor gatherings. In fact, luxuriating in a riad <\/em>or courtyard garden is a great way to spend time with friends and family in Morocco. Bring out your Casablanca Blues table cloth, Moroccan glasses, and pitcher full of mint tea to embrace Moroccan style.<\/p>\n\n\n Similar to a fairy garden party, your Enchanted garden theme party should take elements of tales about curious worlds and magical creatures. Make use of our Enchanted – Blue table cloth to create a tablescape that’s truly captivating. Pair with whimsical table centerpieces and dishware, and transport guests to faraway lands.<\/p>\n\n\n Simple, dignified, and versatile. Whether a graduation reception or a housewarming brunch, this color palette is a win! English Gardens adds its undeniable charm, and you’re free to add tabletop decor as you like. To start, blue and white china is foolproof, as are clear tea glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n Some garden party decor can be used again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What kind of food do you serve at a garden party? The answer depends on the nature of your gathering. Baby shower? Bridal shower? Birthday fete? And, is it a morning, afternoon, or dinner affair?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finger foods are always a hit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t forget to account for food allergies or dietary restrictions! Offer up vegan, veggie, or gluten-free options in your menu.<\/p>\n\n\n Be sure to provide a selection of nonalcoholic drinks in addition to your adult-catered beverages. Ideas include large batches of lemonade, canned sparkling water, and fruit-infused water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Better yet, a signature nonalcoholic drink for the party can make your menu extra special, and it gives everyone a chance to enjoy something tasty no matter what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure everything that contains alcohol is clearly labeled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re thinking of setting up a bar table, remember that it can be as fancy or casual as you want it to be. For bridal showers and more formal occasions, you might even hire a mobile bartender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These mixology pros can help you come up with a special drink for the occasion. This can lift some pressure off of your shoulders\u2014now you can plan the rest of your garden party!<\/p>\n\n\n Besides food and drinks, you probably want to provide some form of fun at your event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Outdoor games give guests something to do, especially if you’re hosting a wide range of ages. Try the classics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re hosting for a children’s birthday party, try setting up a treasure hunt throughout the garden. Charades, party card games, backyard dominoes, and backyard Twister are also fun hits.<\/p>\n\n\n Given there’s enough space, provide areas for sitting or hanging out away from the food and drinks tables. Outdoor blankets,<\/a> cushions, and pillows can make guests feel more at ease. This will also be helpful for guests bringing smaller children who may not be old enough to run around just yet, but are more than happy to crawl and explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.saffronmarigold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/separator-blue-1-1020x71.jpeg\")
