Everything You Need for Summer Hosting

The weather is heating up and summer is around the corner, and I know for many of us that means dining al fresco and spending much more time outside with friends. Over the past few years I’ve been hosting a lot more so I love inviting friends and family over during the summer to enjoy warm evenings or sunny days. In today’s post, I rounded up everything you need for summer hosting so you’re covered for your upcoming events! These finds will work for any space from a big backyard to a small patio and can even be used for hosting indoors.

Woven Beverage Tub | I love the woven exterior of this beverage tub but it also has a sturdy metal insert to hold drinks and ice. It’s also under $50!

Rattan Bar Cart | A bar cart is always a fun piece to set up because it serves as decor but is also super functional for guests. The rattan style screams summer to me!

Plastic Wine Glasses | These wine glasses look super nice but are fully made out of plastic – you’d never know from afar! I like using plastic drinkware outside juuuuust in case.

Ice Cream Maker | If kiddos are attending your summer events this ice cream maker is such a fun addition and super easy to use.

Flameless Candles | These flameless candles are great to put in lanterns or other spaces where you won’t have your eyes on the candle. They come in a few different sizes and are my go-to for amping up the ambiance.

Citronella Candle | The downside of outdoor events is the bugs and mosquitoes (especially in SC!!) so I like placing citronella candles everywhere when the time comes. This candle is super chic!

Wood Serving Board | This serving board looks expensive but is only $33 and would be great to hold snacks and dips!

Beverage Dispenser | Loving the look of this beverage dispenser to hold water and other fun drinks. Plus, it’s only $10!

Ceramic Lanterns | Lanterns always make a space feel more cozy and the style of these ceramic lanterns is too cute. Add a flameless candle and you’re set!
