Here are a few tips that you might not have thought about when planning your outdoor event.
-Say No to Paper Plates Outdoors
Do not use paper/disposable lightweight place settings when having an outdoor party. Unless you can predict the weather, and are absolutely positive the weather will be perfect, try to avoid paper plates for outdoor events. The slightest breeze (even under a gazebo or tent) will send your gorgeous place settings and hard work right out the window. For outdoor parties use heavy place settings and centerpieces. If you decide against having this type of dinnerware you may want to consider moving the children’s tables and favor table inside (Favor table Tip #2). You can always have all activities and dress up area outside.
-Keep Out of Sun
When deciding where to set up your favor table, keep your favors in mind. Keep chocolate bars, candy favors, cupcakes and cakes out of the direct sun and heat.
-Prevent Food Poisoning
Another tricky thing about outdoor parties is food safety. Hamburger meat and potato salad may go bad quicker in the sun. Keep a constant eye on how long food has been out to prevent food poisoning.
