Backyard Entertainingis always one of my favorite ways to entertain!
There is a feeling of comfort and casualness.
Jeff and I spend a lot of time on our yard and gardensso it always feels like sharing love when we have people over.
And of course not only do I love to pull a theme into the mixI always love styling an outfit to accompany my theme!
For one of our recent family partiesmy darling daughtercame up with doing a party around this fresh colorful branding!
Blue and white stripes with a dose of orange citrusI was all inespecially since i always summer decorate with blue and white.
Ellis did the cutest invites!Even though it was a small partyI just love havinga graphic that incorporates the party theme!
The table was fresh and simple.I have small potted ferns running down our large farm table this summer.
The placemats and plastic dishes are recently from Target.A clementine was my dash of orange atop a beautifully ironed napkin.I have always used cloth napkinsbut have only recently loved them even more ironed.When I iron them these daysit feels like a beautiful ritual of investing in upcoming fun.

I loved my outfitwhich is always one of my top entertaining tipsLove what you wear!Feeling good about yourself and what you are wearing gives you so much more energy to love on your guests!I accented my pinstripe maxi with an oversized floral brooch.I added one of my floral headband to my hat!A tip I highly recommend!It can transform one beloved hat into so many!
Elis made the most delightful charcuterie board!
I brought all of my inflatables!I started with a pool and some beach balls last yearand have continued to collect!
How fabulous is this arch with reusable balloonsand the oversized beachballs!All from Minni Dip at Target!
I also have gotten party theme colored beach balls from Amazon.
We live in a small house with a small yardso being able to inflate party fun is just the best!Plus not having them out all the time makes them fresh and fun when they do come out to play!
How about some inflatable sharks for bowling!Also Target!
My favorite part of the collected inflatables seeing our grand children plays with them!
I had them all set out one waybut they saw them an entirely new way.They gathered all of the balls and sharks into the poolandmade a ball pit!Just genius!
I would have liked to have said it was my genius ideabut I do believe in giving credit where do!I am always in awe of watching our grand children's creative play!
One last fun and fast party decoration
