One of my favorite things to do in the summer is have friends over to our home and hang in the backyard. An evening of dinner and drinks al fresco [and playtime for the kids] is pretty great in my book. Now that it’s officially summer and we’re well into those warm summer nights, it’s the perfect time to host a tropical summer soirée, complete with pineapples and palm leaves! Whether you’re a Palm Beach or Palm Springs person, this theme is great for birthdays, bachelorettes, showers, or just for fun. You can even add in Moana to make it more kid friendly.
Select a Space
There’s nothing like summer nights spent in the backyard with friends! If you have a backyard, porch, or other outdoor space, use it! If not, you can still feel the outdoor vibes with the right decor.
Set the Tone
Pineapples, bright colored flowers, palm leaves, and balloons set the tone for a festive event.
These fun party items are from Celebrated. They curate a “Party in a Box”, which includes decorations and tabletop items based on theme.
Create a festive lounge area for additional seating or just a great Instagram photo opp. All you need are some blankets, pillows, and a pool float.
Serve Festive Drinks
The possibilities are endless here – rum punch, mai tais, mojitos, and piña coladas, just to name a few. And don’t forget a fun drink for the kiddos. A pineapple orange juice with garnish and umbrella will keep them happy.
I look forward to using some of this party decor again throughout the summer and hope that you are inspired to throw your own summer soirée!

P.S. Later this week, I’ll be sharing a tutorial on how to make a Pineapple Floral Arrangement, so stay tuned. It’s surprisingly easy!
