July 2021

Looking for great garden party ideas this summer? Look no further than here @forgeshopping. From table settings to twinkling lights and decorations, our retailers have endless products and goods to help make your #gardenparty the best bash of them all! Warm evenings are finally here, but throwing an outdoor party takes a lot of preparation if you want to make it a day/night to remember. Before you begin shopping for decorations and concocting up a delicious menu, make a plan of action. Will your party be a low-key gathering with simple snacks or a deluxe bbq and picnic? Once you’ve decided what type of garden party you want to host, it’s time to get planning. When entertaining outdoors, it’s always worth considering how many people you plan to host, and what kind of atmosphere you’re trying to create – think of your garden or balcony as an extension of your indoor spaces, and consider how you can inject your own personality, and link it to your style inside at the same time. We hope these #forgepicks from @josiesmithmedia help make your garden party unFORGEttable!
