Steps to keep your guests and family safe while hosting a summer party.
Now that the temperatures are rising and your friends and family are looking to enjoy the summer, now is the ideal time to enjoy in a party! We’re sure your entire family have been waiting for the chance to relax and have some fun! But with all this excitement about parties and fun ahead, it is a good idea to spare a moment to think about how you plan to keep your family safe. Here are some tips to help.
Prepare for hot weather
Everyone knows that hosting a summer party can mean unbearable heat, so make sure your guests are comfortable and having a good time by providing somewhere shade to sit. If you’ve got a pool, open it up for guests to cool off in – but take care when children want to get in the pool!
Provide the right kind of food
It’s hot outside, so no one wants to eat hot soup or a hearty stew in the middle of summer. Think about providing basic foods that can be covered and that won’t spoil immediately. Raw veggies and hummus along with chips and salsa are a good and inexpensive start.
Offer soft drinks
Not every adult will want an alcoholic drink – especially if they are the one driving. Be sure to offer plenty of soft drinks and mocktails so that no designated driver feels obliged to pick up a beer.
Make sure your home is ready
The last thing you want at your party is for a guest to trip over on the broken deck or fall on a dimly-lit path. Ensure that your backyard and pathways are well-lit, are free of hazards, and have no obstacles in the way!
Make sure your guests get home safely.
If people have been drinking, make sure that they can get home via public transport or taxi. Keep an eye out for anyone trying to drive home after they have been drinking.
