Rustic Wood Chalkboard Menu
This is a really cute way to let party guests know what will be on the menu for the night. You can even write a special personalized message if the party is celebrating something specific, like an engagement, graduation, birthday party etc. It’d also be a fun way to let guests know what their dessert options will be later in the evening!
Outdoor Fold Away Seating
Make sure you have ample seating for all of your guests! I really love these fold away chairs. They’re a great neutral color and can fold up neatly for easy storage.
Large Mason Jar Beverage Dispenser with Chalkboard Signs
Display ice cold lemonade, punch or drink of choice in these beautiful mason jar inspired canisters! You can even personalize the label to let people know exactly what they’re filling their cup with!
Mason Jar Glasses with Lid
It’s a known fact that everything tastes better out of a mason jar! This set of handled mason jar glasses have a lid to keep bugs out and to hold your straw in place. A perfect party must-have!
Galvanized Metal Drink Cooler
This is a really chic way to display your iced beverages. Guests can grab their drinks and know they’re ice cold in this galvanized tub! If adult beverages will be at your party, put them in something tall like this to prevent little hands from reaching them.
Rustic Galvanized Oval Bucket
This is another great option to put your ice cold drinks in. You can put this on a table top or keep it low to the ground so little kids can get to it. You can even use it for food (think wrapped up hot dogs and hamburgers for a larger crowd) or whatever you please!
Mason Jar Floral Arrangement with Chalkboard Tags
Every tablescape needs a little green on it! Just thumb through any decor magazine and you’ll see fresh greenery on all of the tables. I really love these mason jar flower holders with chalkboard labels. They’re a great way to add a pop of color to the table!
Rustic Farmstead Ceramic Plates
If you’re looking for a more sophisticated party vibe, ditch the paper plates and spring for something a little more formal. Aren’t these farmstead ceramic plates just adorable? I’d consider this one to be a splurge for sure. These particular plates can sometimes be a little hard to come by (they’re in high demand), so if they’re unavailable, clean and crisp white ceramic plates are a great choice!
Shabby Chic Salt & Pepper Shakers
Don’t forget the seasonings! Display your salt and pepper in this cute little caddy!
Galvanized Metal Party Tray
If you’ll be having burgers or brats at your party, this tray would be perfect for stacking buns in! It’d also be cute as a serving tray if someone will be walking around sharing snacks or appetizers with the group.
Large Stainless Steel Serving Spoons
There’s nothing worse than getting all of the food ready and realizing that you don’t have anything to serve it with! I love this set of large serving spoons – and they’re very affordable, too!
Chalkboard Signs to Label Food
I am loving these sweet little chalkboard label signs. They’re perfect for displaying beside the food – especially if you’re having a themed party and the food has cute theme-appropriate names. They would also be great to inform people who may have certain allergens exactly what is in the food, (ie. peanuts, peppers, etc.)
Galvanized Metal Ice Bucket
Don’t forget the ice! Make sure everyone’s drink is ice cold with this galvanized ice bucket!
Galvanized Silverware Caddy
Keep the cutlery organized with this cute silverware caddy! The options are really endless with this piece, and it’s not nescirally specific to holding silverware. You can display straws, food, flowers, etc. with this set!
Galvanized Napkin Holder
Most people just put napkins out on the table by themselves, but why not display them in something cool like this? I love that it matches all of the other galvanized metal pieces I’ve shared. Don’t forget to place something weighted on top so the napkins don’t blow away!
Red Gingham Cupcake Liners
In my opinion, nothing says outdoor party like red and white gingham. Instead of having the traditional checkered tablecloths like you’d see at a picnic, add just a hint of it with these sweet little cupcake liners! You can also use the cupcake liners to serve snacks or hors d’oeuvres in! Most people think of this pattern as being just for summer, but I think it can tie into all seasons!
Burlap Table Runner
Burlap always adds the perfect touch of shabby chic! Line the serving tables with this glammed-up burlap table runner!
Patio Torch Lights – Mosquito and Bug Repellents
If your party falls into the late evening, you’ll want to make sure that you have some sort or light and bug repellent. These tiki torches accomplish both problems, and they’ll match basically any decor!
Distressed American Flag Cornhole Yard Game
Keep guests entertained with outdoor yard games! I love these rustic American flag cornhole boards. They’re obviously perfect for Fourth of July and Memorial Day parties, but I think they’re perfect any time of year, too!
