GardenParty101 Don't just throw a garden-variety gathering. Grill up memories and good times with theme parties, ambiance and graceful details 
With spring in swing and summer inching closer, it's time to put the backyard to good use. Scrub the grill, pour the iced tea and get the guests outside - it's barbecue season. And while a barbecue can be a casual affair, lifestyle expert Mar Jennings says this is the perfect time to "step it up a couple notches" and really wow your guests. Every year Jennings, who has his own television show "Mar Jennings Home and Garden," hosts a series of backyard bashes that range from kid-friendly buffets to sit-down events with long, white tables and polished silver. And that only begins to explore the range of possibilities. Here are three essentials for taking garden entertaining to a whole new level: Have a theme "I always think that when you throw a barbecue, it's wonderful to include a theme such as Hawaiian, Mexican fiesta or garden party," Jennings says. "People know what to expect when they come, and you can cater the decorations and entertaining style to whatever the theme may be." Jennings favorite event each year is his "Glamour in the Garden," which his friends call the "Gone with the Wind" party because of its very Southern feel. The tables are set with beautiful dishes and everyone dresses up, but it's a barbecue nonetheless. That said, Jennings is also a fan of dog birthday parties and "Survivor" parties. Time it right "I personally love a 5 o'clock barbecue," Jennings says. "It's still light, but then it transitions into the evening, changing the whole look of the party." A late start takes the summer heat off your guests and gives you the opportunity to highlight your garden as dusk falls. At Jennings' home in Connecticut, garden lights are timed to spotlight strategic points at just the right moment. Jennings also sets up torches and hangs lanterns to increase the drama of nighttime. Details, details, details - and simplicity Often the most graceful touches can come from your own garden: Use magnolia leaves as place cards, move potted plants to make partitions, and fill a galvanized steel bucket with drinks and ice. But when it comes to the table, simplicity will showcase the details. "For people who never know, the best is white all the way through," Jennings says. "Then you can accent with special color - one plate, or flower arrangements." At the heart of it, Jennings has a simple philosophy for outdoor entertaining: "Keep it natural, well-lit and with exceptional food, and you can never go wrong." |
