Balmy nights, laughter and fun with friends...who doesn't love a backyard get together or summer garden party when the weather is beautiful?

If you are the one hosting the party or gathering, you may want some backyard decor ideas. Perhaps you'd like to consider having a backyard theme party or a more elegant and formal outdoor evening soiree. Whatever the event, here are some ideas to help get you started.

Furniture: You'll need many extra chairs and possibly tables to ensure your guests have places to lounge and chat. Consider setting up a variety of conversation areas on your patio or deck and throughout the yard, to encourage mingling and relaxing. If you need extra furniture jsut for the evening, you  can rent or borrow some, or look for local patio set deals to fill out your needs.

Weather protection: Even if clear skies are called for, it's always best to be prepared for inclement weather. You can rent backyard tents and canopies to protect from rain, and inside you can string lights for ambience and even add a space heater or two in case the evening turns cold. Also consider purchasing a few inexpensive pashmina scarves and ponchos to have handy for cold guests or wet weather, respectively.

Lighting:There are many lovely ways to light up a garden party, from subtle spotlights in trees and bushes to candles lining the pathways or grouped on tables. Consider outdoor candle holders like <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link/4958447']);" href="justhurricanelamps.com">hurricane lamps</a> to protect your candles from wind. They come in a wide variety of sizes and colors and look fabulous hanging in a line or grouped on steps and tables.

Facilities: With guests come the need for washroom facilities. Make sure yours are stocked with extra toilet paper, and if necessary enlist a neighbour or two to open theirs for use. You could also rent port-a-potties for your party.

Storage: This covers a lot of things, for instance the need for various surfaces guests can lay their purses and coats on without getting them dirty, and places to put drinks and plates down. Have plenty of ice in buckets and plenty of drinks available in ice-filled coolers.
