Ready to cut loose this summer? You might be dreaming of sunset barbecues, midday drinks
with friends, or a special celebration this season. But then you remember you live in a small
space. Park models offer about 399 square feet or less of living space, which
can make it difficult to party plan. Here are a few tips so you can have your cake and invite your
friends to share.
Make Space
Sounds so simple, but it really works. When you’re party planning for a small space, you can
make the most of your interior space by moving out some of the furniture, knick knacks, or other
clutter. Your coffee table is great when there’s just a few people around, but it becomes a major
obstacle with more. Remove it and clear your laptop or plants off smaller side tables to make
room for party goers to set their drinks.
Extend Your Space
The easiest way to host more people is to extend your living space to the outdoors. Use a
shade tent, fairy lights, and maybe a fan (for those living tiny in the Arizona Community) to create a cozy space to hang out. Have your guests bring their own camping chairs to make things easy and
comfortable.
Plan Your Hangout Spots
People tend to gather around snacks and drinks, so be intentional about how you have
everything set up. If you don’t want everyone crammed into your home, consider setting up the
food outdoors and limiting seating options indoors. If you need people to spread evenly between
indoors and out, split up the snacks and chairs appropriately.
Plan Your Snacks
Serve food that requires little prep and fewer dishes. This will make it easier on the party set-up
and clean up. Finger foods like caprese salad skewers, pigs in a blanket, or sliders make it easy
for guests to grab something as they walk by without having to use large plates and utensils.
Plan Your Drinks
The easiest way to plan your drinks is to prepare in bulk. Mix up a tasty sangria, or a classic
sweet tea in a large pitcher or cooler before the party starts. You can also set-up a cooler with
ice and tell guests to bring their own drinks as well. Set out your beverages with recyclable cups
and you’re good to go. Party time!
Summertime is here which means barbecues, picnics, and lots of outdoor socializing. If you’re living in an RV or other small space, this is the best time to invite people over for an outdoor get-together. You’ll need some simple recipes with few ingredients you can craft in your tiny kitchen. Plan your next soiree with […]
