Outdoor Entertaining at Home

If my experience serves as any indication, hands down the most popular venue for entertaining is ... home.

There are lots of advantages to entertaining at home. No fees to rent space, no worries about availability are two for starters.

Plus you can bring almost any service you want. Caterers can provide nearly any kind of food you can imagine. And they'll clean up when they finish. Or you can prepare your own.

Tents can sprout in the back yard to provide shelter and elegance for outdoor events. I've even seen port-a-potties at the summer home of a CEO who didn't want hords of guests traipsing indoors at a large bash.

As for entertainment, you can bring in anything that you'd have at a banquet hall including bands, DJs, clowns, caricaturists, Tarot readers ... you name it.

If the event is outdoors, and your yard is large enough, bring in inflatables and pony rides for the kids.

And manufacturers are eager to indulge you with all manner of stylish and functional outdoor furnishings and accessories.

So, if you are at home with entertaining at home, you have an endless variety of resources to customize the experience to your liking.
