Do I need to host a garden party outside?
While hosting a garden party outside is very fitting, there are things like bad weather and not having readily available outdoor space that make the only option to host inside your home.

How to Host a Spring Garden Party
Transforming your home or backyard into a spring oasis just got a whole lot easier. We’re breaking down everything you need to host your first garden party in order to make it a huge success.
1. Send Invitations
First things first, send out your invitations to your friends. How you choose to do this is totally up to you. You can send physical invitations in the mail, e-vites or text messages.
We love sending paper invitations. There’s just something nostalgic and special about getting an invite in your mail. The invitations designs are so adorable and would be such a fun surprise to receive.

2. Select Your Menu
The thing we love the most is making the menu for the party. When hosting a spring garden party, look for cute, seasonal food and drinks. Everything from fresh entrees, fruity desserts, delicious drinks.
To make things easier, go potluck style. Have your guests sign up and bring a specific item, so you can focus on getting other things together.

3. Set the Scene
Another fun thing about hosting parties at your house is decorating the space and making the theme come to life.
In order to achieve the spring garden party theme, set a table with placemats, floral spring dinnerware, cute drinking glasses and fresh florals for the centerpieces.
To add some more decorative elements to your home, string lights, hang some floating Chinese lanterns and floral garland to set the scene for your girls to feel emerged in all the spring feels.

5. Plan Spring Games and Activities
- Making Floral Arrangements: Inviting your friends to make a floral arrangement is the perfect activity for spring. Have each friend brung a couple of bundles of flowers to contribute to the flower bar, so there’s plenty of different florals for everyone to use.
- Paint Your Own Flower Pot: Spring is the season of planting, so why not gather all your friends to paint a flower pot to do just that?
- Paint Your Own Wine Glass: If gardening and planting aren’t your friends’ cup of tea, painting wine glasses with cute floral designs is an even better spring activity.
- Guess the Amount of Candy in the Jar: Whether it’s spring-colored M&Ms, Starburst jelly beans, or any other spring candy. Have your guests write down the number of candies they think are in the jar. Whoever is closest to the exact number wins the jar of candy.
- Spring Bingo: Bingo is a classic party game, but spring bingo is perfect for the season and occasion. Here’s some cute spring bingo cards to use for your party.
6. Send Friends Home with Party Favors
We absolutely love sending our guests home with something little to tell them how much it meant for them to come celebrate the evening with us. For the spring season, we recommend giving your guests a packaged sweet treat or small goody bag of small springy items as they walk out the door. Here are some of our favorites:
