Other folks are DIYers who are revamping their outdoor living areas, building outdoor furniture, or planning an outdoor living room for the first time.

  • Prepare your outdoor space.  Mow your lawn, trim bushes, deadhead flowers, and string your outdoor lights.
  • Spray your outdoor space for bugs.  I use a fogger a few hours prior to the party to chase away as many insects as possible.
  • Set up your buffet with utensils, serving pieces, napkins, and plates.
