Your outdoor space most likely needs a little TLC after the harsh winter weather does it’s usual damage, so start off by clearing out any debris, cutting back hanging branches and trimming overgrown grass or hedges. If any weeds or potentially harmful plants such as nettles have sprung up then it’s important that you can take steps to get rid of them, especially if you have young children running around as they always do! Identify a few different areas, such as an al fresco dining space for the adults to enjoy their food, and potentially a smaller seating or play area in which the little ones can gather and have fun.

If you want to have any extra decorations such as bunting then put them up just before your guests arrive, otherwise they can be tarnished by the sun and end up losing their colour. It’s a great idea to find some speakers or any other sound system that can blast a few tunes, as this can really help to set the mood and create a fun atmosphere.
