Summer is here and the perfect time to enjoy the garden. Discover the best tips for having a nice dinner with your family during sultry summer evenings.
In the summer there is nothing better than a great garden where you can fully enjoy. You can enjoy this together with your partner, family or friends. Enjoy a delicious drink together, a barbecue or move your regular dinner to the garden. At the weekend you can enjoy extra long, even if the sun has long gone down.
Before you can sit comfortably at the table, you naturally need a suitable garden table. Garden tables come in different sizes and designs. Which table you choose depends on several factors. It is important that, in addition to the budget, you also look at the functionality (what do you want to use the table for) and that the table matches the design of your garden.
A garden table without chairs is of course not useful, so do not forget to buy matching garden chairs. The choice for a certain garden chair is actually very personal. Of course you want it to match the table and your garden, but more importantly, it also fits wonderfully. You want to sit outside as long as possible and that is only possible if the chairs are actually comfortable.
Depending on the choice of your garden chairs, it is sometimes useful to purchase garden cushions. And this is where the fun part begins:with garden cushions you can add a lot more atmosphere. Besides the fact that garden cushions are simply comfortable, you can also add color to the garden with them. Ideal if you are looking for a cheerful touch that underlines the summer feeling.
A garden set is therefore the basis for a cozy dinner with your family in the summer. Of course there is much more to it to make dining really enjoyable. The right accessories should not be missing for a cozy look. Think of the following things:
Coordinate the colours, designs and any themes well. Of course, a mix of colors and styles also has its charm, but it's nicer if you have everything a bit attuned to each other. As far as colors are concerned, you can go in different directions. Some people really like neutral or soft tones, while others prefer bright colors.
Depending on the setting, you can further embellish the garden with summery decorations. With this you can really go in all directions. Hang up some balloons for a festive atmosphere, which you can combine with some streamers and a flag line.
Nice music in the background underlines the cozy atmosphere. Just make sure the music is really only in the background and not too loud. In addition, the music must also match the atmosphere.
Are you planning a long and fun evening with children? Then it is advisable to ensure that the children are not bored. The younger the less patient children have to sit at the table for hours without distraction. So put a table somewhere in a corner especially for the children. There they can color, draw or play games to their heart's content. That way, everyone is satisfied and the entire company can fully enjoy it.
Finally, good food and drink should not be missing. You can take care of everything yourself or you can ask everyone to bring a little something. That way you have less costs and work and everyone can still enjoy all the goodies. Make sure to coordinate it well, so that afterwards you are not left with 20 bottles of drink and no stuff for the barbecue. Or trays full of side dishes, but no meat or fish.
Are you going to barbecue? Then divide the work a bit, so that you can also talk with your guests in between.

If you expect it to be a long evening, keep some nibbles on hand. Some chips, nuts and perhaps something sweet will come in handy. Again, think of the children when they are present. For children you can put an ice cream behind or other sweets ready. Is the barbecue still glowing a bit? Then marshmallows are a must for children!
