Is there a birthday or other event you'd like to celebrate in the warm months? Would you like to get the whole family or a group of friends together for some old-fashioned fun? A fire pit table is the perfect accessory for a wonderful party that your guests will enjoy and remember for years to come.
The Invitations
Invite friends to your party with s'mores baggies. Place a large marshmallow, a piece of chocolate, and two graham crackers in a baggie. Then staple this to a piece of cardstock with the details of your party.
The Decor
Place chairs and benches around your fire pit, and put out tables where guests can sit. Add checkered tablecloths and picnic items.
If you have trees, string white lights through them, and make canopies of lights back and forth between them. Solar powered lights are easy to use and don't have to be plugged in. Be sure you hang them during the day so they can soak up some sun. You can also hang faux candle lanterns from the trees.
If your party is in the daytime, hang Chinese paper lanterns as decor.
The Food
Serve food like hotdogs that can be roasted over a fire pit. You can also cook chili or soup on your fire.
Bring in a grill to add to the menu, and offer hamburgers or even steaks. Add chips with dip and some veggies, and you can't go wrong.
Don't forget the beer and wine if some of your guests are adults.
The Dessert
The ultimate backyard party dessert is s'mores. Provide graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows, and let guests craft their own. You might also provide fruit with chocolate for dipping.
Hot cocoa is fun if it's a chilly evening.
The Activities
Think about campground fun when it comes to activities for your party. A fire pit table is the perfect centerpiece for telling ghost stories or for sing-along fun.
In the daytime, have races. Try a three-legged race, a potato sack race, or an egg relay race. At night, take advantage of the dark with flashlight tag and sparklers.
The Favors
Give guests a party bag with a flashlight, glow sticks, and some glowing jewelry they can wear during the party.
An outdoor party is perfect for a get-together in warm weather. Using a fire pit table adds to the fun and provides a beautiful setting.
