Do you want to organize a party in the winter with a wow factor? Then organizing a Winter Wonderland party is a fantastic idea. You can do anything in the winter to get your garden ready for a party. Your garden is often only used during the summer months, so that’s reason enough to organize a garden party in winter. So you can make the most of your garden this winter by organizing a Winter Wonderland garden party in 4 steps.
Light up your garden
To create a Winter Wonderland, you need to use a lot of lighting. The best garden lighting will create a magical glow. It also reduces the risk of people tripping when it’s dark out. But above all, light is extremely important for the cozy atmosphere you want to create at your party. The trick to hanging lights is to place them at different heights. Along the garden paths by your feet and along the edges of your canopy. You can also hang fairy lights around trees and fences to add that extra bit of enchantment.
A fire pit
Whether you choose an outdoor fireplace, fire basket, or fire bowl, the smell, warmth, and sound immediately bring out the ultimate Winter Wonderland feeling. This is of course due to the sound of crackling wood! In addition, a fire pit also serves as a source of warmth for your party. But if you have a small garden with many neighbors, the smoke can bother people. In that case, it is better to use outdoor fireplaces that work with a gas cylinder. You can light them without experiencing the disadvantages of a real fire. But to keep yourself warm, you should start by wearing one of your lovely men’s sweaters (Dutch: herentruien), especially your merino woolen sweater (Dutch: wollen trui heren). The wool will keep you incredibly warm.
What are you going to serve?
You can prepare all sorts of snacks in advance for your big Winter Wonderland garden party. But you can also put a camping set outside to keep the food warm. Think of a big pan of pea soup or frankfurters. Of course, you can also fire up the barbecue. That also provides extra heating. Do you really want to do something completely different with your food? Then it is a great idea to hire a pizza oven. If you provide all the toppings, there is bound to be a crazy uncle who will take care of it.
Create shelter
Cool and cold weather is fine for a garden party, as long as no one gets really cold. Covered space is essential then. Here your guests can retreat to warm up without having to go inside. This way, you still keep the real outdoor feeling. Of course, you can use your roof for that, but you can also set up a party tent. A fleece blanket here and there and no one will get cold.
If you follow these 4 steps, you will organize the most memorable party ever given to a group of friends.
