Dreams of Backyard Entertaining

Dreams of Backyard Entertaining

I have the itch. I dream of the sweet taste of lemonade, the hearty smell of charcoal, and have visions of fireflies dancing in my head! I’m ready for summer but specifically for entertaining in my backyard—having friends over to enjoy good food and build memories—ahh I can’t wait! Who’s with me!? I thought today we could add to the itch by checking out some of the internet’s favorite backyard entertaining ideas.

We’ve all heard of a tree swing but I’d never thought of a tree ladder to help get you up to the branches faster. This one is happening in my backyard for sure!

Simple centerpieces can add a nice touch no matter who is coming over. Swing by your market and pick up some inexpensive flowers, then add them to old bottles—you could probably create the same affect, albeit more casual, with beer or milk bottles if you don’t enough wine bottles laying around!
