Its summertime! Time to fill that cooler with ice, grab your friends and family, turn on some music, and soak up the sun! With your backyard being the prime spot for your summer events and headquarters you will not even have to travel anywhere!
Summer brings so many events and chances to get together. Make sure you have your tent rental ready to host these events as they arrive. By transforming it into a tropical oasis, your backyard will be the place to be this summer! Here are some great summer events to make this summer the most memorable yet!
Summer Vacation Pool Party
As soon as school is out, the kids are ready to let loose and play. At the same time, the parents are ready to run away! The best way to make this a smooth transition is to kick off summer with a summer vacation pool party! This will give the parents a chance to rejuvenate and prepare for the upcoming months while mingling with friends and family. At the same time, the kids have a chance to have fun while expelling a lot of energy. It’s a win-win!
Believe it or not, you don’t actually need a pool to have a pool party. If you look out your back window and you don’t see a pool, then all you need to do is pick up some kiddie pools, blow up pools, or even water slides, sprinkler systems, etc. Something – anything – that requires swim wear and water. And don’t forget the blow-up floats!
Adults and kids, alike, will enjoy getting some sun while staying cool in the water.
Birthday Parties
Kids who have summer birthdays tend to miss out on big parties, thanks to the missing convenience of school friends. That is even more reason to throw a big bash! Kids need to know that they are still deserving of a party – even if they were born in the summer.
Make summer birthday parties fun with themes like a day at the beach, a Hawaiian Luau, under the sea, or bubbles galore! Convert your backyard by decorating and preparing activities to match the theme.
Memorial Day
One of the most popular summer events is a Memorial Day party. Memorial Day usually signifies the start of summer. Depending on the region where you reside, this is usually the time when the public pools and lakes open for use. Everyone wants to go – meaning it gets packed! Why not make the day more enjoyable by having a Memorial Day celebration in your own backyard? Grill up some good grub and get the water fun happening. And, of course, don’t forget to remember why we celebrate this day.
Fourth of July
It is Independence Day! It is time to celebrate our country with some watermelon, BBQs, and fireworks! Rather than heading to your community event, you can always throw a Fourth of July event in your own backyard! Turn it into a wash of red, white, and blue.
Keep it outdoors with some water fun and grilling. Don’t forget to hit up that firework stand to set off your own display! If you happen to reside in an area that doesn’t allow personal fireworks – there is no reason why you cannot enjoy company in your backyard and head out to watch fireworks when the sun goes down.
Kiss the Summer Goodbye
The end of summer can be sad. It signals the end of many outdoor get-togethers, family vacations, and warm weather. It is worth throwing a final shindig to kiss the summer goodbye before moving on to a new season.
Don’t take your tent rental down just yet. Grab some friends and family members and have cookout. Get out all those water toys – the balloons, the water guns, the slip ‘n slide, etc. – and have some fun with ‘end of summer events’. You can even match the theme of your party to match the reason for celebration:
- Collect pictures from throughout the summer and make a collage.
- Build a giant outdoor Jenga game and have party goers write summer memories on each piece with permanent marker.
- Decorate with “goodbye” in other languages – adios, aloha, arrivederci, ciao, bon voyage, shalom, and auf Wiedersehen.
Tips for Success
Of course, you are a great planner when it comes to summer events. However, just as a precaution, here are a few tips for success to make sure you and your guests have fun and stay safe outdoors this summer.
- Make sure you have rented a tent. The summer sun can be damaging and there are risks of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, as well as sun burns. It is extremely important to make sure that you have a place of respite for those at your party. Tent rentals are perfect for providing protection from the sun. A bonus is that tent rentals can keep food and drinks cool and prevent quick spoiling.
- Use coolers filled with ice to store cold drinks. Body temperatures can rise in the sun and a cold drink will be much welcomed by your party guests.
- Offer treats to stay cool such as popsicles or fresh fruit. Stick to light meals. Eating food that sits heavy and keeps you too full while dealing with the summer heat can lead to, well, a not so good day.
- Provide items such as sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and personal fans/misters for your guests.
- If your guests will be swimming, then you will need to make sure you have floaties or other safety floating devices for those who cannot swim.
- Kids and water need to be closely watched for obvious safety reasons.
Summer events in your backyard tent rental can be a ton of fun. You spend so much time working hard and even dealing with rough weather throughout the year. The summer is your chance to let your guard down and fit in some much-needed relaxation. This is especially true if you don’t see yourself heading out on an actual summer vacation.
Use your tent rental and transform your backyard into your own tropical paradise that can hold many summer events. Call it a stay-cation, an at-home getaway, or a day of ease. Whatever you do – just enjoy it.
