Make the Longest Day of the Year the Best With an Easy Outdoor Party

Set up a dedictated drink station for guests to mix together bubbling beverages that are beyond easy. Using a flavored vodka adds big punch and is simply finished with sparkling water and some sliced citrus or even a sprig of mint. Pack a cooler with ice and lots of bottles of bubbly water and you're set.

Move the party around your space with different spots for activities, like a selfie station. Everyone loves taking pictures with props, so place items on a table alongside a wall or on the patio. You can even dedicate a hashtag to the day so everyone can see pictures from the event.

Keep your Summer solstice party going with a game battle royale with whatever everyone loves playing, like croquet or corn hole. And, hey — water balloons aren't just for kids! Mix up the game and swap a croquet ball or bean bag for a water balloon and see what happens.

Popcorn is one of the cheapest and easiest things to make in big batches — or pick up from the store. Get festive by covering an outdoor table with overflowing bowls of plain or flavored popcorn. Add fun toppings and mix-ins, like peanuts, caramel sauce, or toasted coconut, and let guests make their own snack packs.
