GE’s Guide to Outdoor Entertainment

Summer is all in bloom! These glorious days are wonderful for stepping outside and soaking up the sunshine, but let’s not forget the undeniable joy that comes with spending an evening outdoors, too. And if you add in friends and family, that’s all the better. Here are a few easy ways to ensure that a night spent at your house is one to remember:

The décor

Bring your interior decorating style outside. Even if you’re working with a standard patio set, there are a ton of fun ways to accessorize, thanks to patterned throw pillows and furniture cushions. Not only will they make your night more comfortable, but they’ll make it more colorful, too!

The activities

The best part about playing in the yard? You can use your outdoor voice—and it’ll sure come in handy when you’re all in on lawn games like Giant Jenga or a beanbag toss. These activities are perfect for all ages, so everyone can take a turn at the fun.

The after-party

The good times don’t have to end when the sun goes down! GE’s LED+ Motion bulbs light up when they detect movement, so the party can keep going all night long. And if it gets a little chilly as it gets later, you can bring out a fire pit to keep guests warm. (Plus: think of all the s’mores.)

There’s still so much left of summer—so let’s make the most of it. Enjoy your night out!
