Think about Arrangement

Arrangement for an outdoor party should be focused on two sections. The first is the food and the second is the fire pit. Arrangement for the food will need to be decided based on the style of delivery. If you are having a buffet, then want to leave that area clear of any chairs or entertainment. When making the table for a buffet, you want to have clear markers for plates and cups. One idea to help avoid confusion is too place the cutlery on one side, before the food. Then on a small area separate from the food, place the drink options. This way, if people get back up for drinks, they do not have to wait in the same line for food. Arranging seating around a fire pit is a great way to make everyone feel welcome and cozy. You want to have a different types of chairs if possible, and plenty of blankets for chilly guests.

Fire Pits and Fun

Now when having a party that involves fire pits, you need to follow some safety measures. The first depends on the type of pit you have. If it is built into the ground, then make sure you keep the surrounding area free of debris and flammable items. About four to six feet is standard. In addition, you will want to make sure than no blankets or cushions will be in that reach by accident. You can control this by either using smaller blankets, or moving the chairs back a bit more. Having a fire shield to go over the pit is also a wise move. This will prevent anything flammable from falling in. And prevent any hot ash from flying out. If you are using an above ground pit, then you can usually sit a bit closer without fear. A fire shield is still recommended however, and you will not want let any blankets too close either.
