Tidy up the yard
No one wants to show off a messy or unruly yard, so make sure you give yourself enough time to clean up the yard.
Pick up toys, pool accessories, and other items that are lying on your lawn. This will improve the overall look for the party, and it'll protect your lawn from unsightly damage. Spray down dirty walkways, dust off the patio furniture, and voila – you're on your way to party town.

String up some lights

Help your guests dine in style
Whether you're going for an elegant evening under the stars or a rustic backyard BBQ, styling your outdoor space can spice things up.

Get creative with your tableware
After you've settled on the style for the evening, brainstorm some out-of-the-box solutions for serving!
Your project doesn't need to be expensive. You can even repurpose a planter box for a range of fun new uses, including a cooler for ice-cold drinks and a handy utensil caddy for silverware and napkins. Curious to know how? Check out our DIY planter box tutorial.
Create a pathway and protect your turf
As the visitors start to pour in, do your best to guide them around the lawn to avoid damage from excessive foot traffic. When people and pets repeatedly walk on grass, they can compact the soil and disrupt the supply of water and air to the roots.
If you don't have a permanent pathway in your yard, consider putting together an impromptu path for the event. In a pinch, you can create a collection of glowing paper lanterns by adding flameless LED tea lights to white paper bags.
Once your pathway is set up, give your guests a polite reminder to respect the lawn. After all, your lush grass is the true star of this event.
