5 Easy Tips for Hosting a Garden Party

A garden party is the perfect way to enjoy good weather, good company, and great cocktails. Here are five easy tips to make your next outdoor celebration a breeze:

1. Set the Mood with Lighting
Use fairy lights, lanterns, or tea lights in jars to create a soft, warm glow as the sun goes down.

2. Keep Guests Cool
Offer shaded areas and serve refreshing cocktails or mocktails with fresh fruit and herbs to keep everyone feeling cool.

3. Serve Simple, Shareable Snacks
Finger foods, grazing boards, and fruit platters are easy to prepare and encourage mingling.

4. Add a Signature Cocktail
Use one of our Candid Cocktails recipe cards to offer a custom-themed drink your guests will remember.

5. Dress the Table
Use real glassware, fresh flowers, and a simple colour theme to make even casual gatherings feel elevated.

Planning is simple when you’ve got the right tools and inspiration — that’s where Candid Cocktails comes in.
