Entertaining Outdoors
Summer is upon us, and what better time to throw an outdoor party!  Invite your friends and family, and treat them to a gathering that they won't soon forget.  Just follow these simple steps:
 
1) Include the beauty of nature.  Layer pots and planters filled with annuals throughout your outdoor entertaining space.  Use one of these annual planters as a quick and easy centerpiece for your table!
 
2) Add interest by giving ordinary items a new purpose.  Fill an empty concrete urn with ice and use it to chill bottled drinks.  Or set a tray atop a wire plant stand to create the perfect serving table; set it between two comfy wicker chairs (find these at IOP), and you'll have a relaxing resting spot for your guests.
 
3) Mix it up - don't worry about being "matchy-matchy".  Mix different styles of glassware and serveware on your table.  Layer a mixture of plates to create a one-of-a-kind table setting.
 
4) Add lanterns and candles.  Even during the day, lanterns and candles can create an elegant ambiance.  Check out the "Light Up The Night" article below to see how lanterns and candles can be used for your evening entertaining.
 
5) Don't let the mosquitoes stop the fun!  Have Iowa Outdoor Products install a Mosquito Mist Away system and your outdoor space will be pest free!  Call us or click here to contact us for a free estimate. 
 

 
 
 
Light Up The Night
When your outdoor party lasts into the evening, be prepared to add some light with these simple ideas:
 
1) Use battery-operated, remote controlled candles.  These candles are so easy!  Set them up before your party, and when the sun sets, just click one button and your outdoor space will glow!
 
2) Hang glass voitve holders from the branches of your trees for an elegant burst of light.  Use battery-operated tea lights, and you won't have to worry about the candles blowing out.
 
3) Light the fire!  An outdoor fireplace or firepit will help take your outdoor party to the next level.  And we can help you design and install the perfect piece for your backyard.  Click here to contact us!
