Recent home buyers who have closed and settled into their very own Coral Gables real estate property may be ready to host their first party! Whether it is a housewarming party or one to celebrate the end of another school year or the beginning of the summer season, this time of year is perfect for a casual gathering of family and friends as well as old and new neighbors.
To help get your ideas flowing, check out some fantastic summer party ideas that may perfectly suit your Coral Gables real estate property!
Location: Where to Host it in Your Coral Gables Real Estate Property?
Depending on the actual layout of your Coral Gables real estate property, you might want to keep the entertainment outdoors in the screened in lanai poolside, on the deck or patio, or maybe inside is the best option for you. You might want to keep it fluid and use both indoor and outdoor seating.
If choosing outdoors exclusively or in a partial capacity, you will need to consider the humidity and pests. Keep those both at bay by enlisting the help of soft mobile fans that can be set back on the corner of a deck or patio if you happen not to have outdoor ceiling fans.
Of course, citronella lanterns, candles, or torches always add extra reinforcement to blockading pesky mosquitoes and other annoying bugs away from guests.
Decorations: What Type is Best for Your Party?
The lighting method you choose above to keep the pests away can be part of the party’s decorations. You could make your own with just a few mason jars. Fill it with summer scents like lemon and lime as well as rosemary and mint. Then add some water, citronella oil topped with some floating candles.
Beach buckets also are a nice seaside touch for Coral Gables real estate parties, even if your home is not directly waterside. You can use different sized beach buckets for holding utensils, flowers, snack crackers, fruit, and beverages surrounded by ice. Be sure to use a beach shovel instead of a spoon for guests to scoop up any edibles onto their plate.
Food: Serving a Perfect Seasonal Dish
If you are a recent transplant to the Coral Gables real estate area or have lived here all your life, it should be obvious that seafood is a must-have offering since you are living in a coastal community. For a casual summer gathering, try a grown-up version on a kid favorite – Salmon Fish Sticks with Zucchini Chips. Or, how about a Stove Top Clambake? The latter may be a bit costlier with clams, mussels, shrimps, lobster, potatoes, leeks and kielbasa. With either one of these offerings, you will satisfy both the easy and delicious all in one dish!
