Sure, the holidays may be considered “the most wonderful time of the year,” but that’s only if you don’t crave fresh air, gorgeous flowers, and the company of loved ones under the sun. For anyone who enjoys the beauty of the outdoors as much as they love a good party, the spring and summer months — and all the garden parties they bring — are, truly, the best time of the year.
While you may think putting on a gorgeous garden party requires a lot of green (as in cash), it doesn’t have to. At least, not if you’re a Target shopper. There are plenty of party staples available for less than $25.
1. Botanical Leaf Paper Plates 8.5″ — up & up™: $9.99
If there’s one thing you need for a party, it’s paper plates. Those finger sandwiches and tea cakes won’t hold themselves, after all. With these botanically patterned plates, you can stay on theme while giving your guests something lovely to look at while they dine. And for only $9.99, you get a whopping 154 plates per pack.
2. Plastic Textured Short Tumbler 13 oz — Threshold™ Reusable Acrylic Drinkware: $3
As a true sophisticate, you would never have your garden party guests drinking out of a Solo cup. Never! Instead, serve them iced tea, or whichever cold beverage suits them best, in these elegant textured tumblers that only look expensive. They’re durable, dishwasher safe and available in several colors.
3. 64 oz Plastic Beverage Pitcher — Tabitha Brown for Target: $10
No garden party is complete without a pitcher to serve your famous lemonade. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for bland, clear plastic. Instead, you can snap up this unique orange, pink and blue pitcher from Tabitha Brown’s exclusive Target line. It adds a splash of personality to your table — along with the lemonade. (And no, you’re still not giving out the recipe.)
4. Floral Tablecloth — Room Essentials™: $15
You would never host a garden party that was off theme — and you’d certainly never serve your guests your grandmother’s prize-winning ladyfingers on anything less than the most exquisite tablecloth. This floral option from Target’s Room Essentials brand delivers both charm and function. It’s also machine washable, making it easy to care for and reuse for your next party.
5. 6″ Mini Tabletop Polka Dot Artificial Plant — Threshold™: $3.50
Decor is a key part of any party, so why not decorate your tabletop with an adorable artificial plant — one that will never wilt, fade or be underwatered. At the low price of $3.50, you could even afford centerpieces for a larger party with multiple tables.
Bottom Line
You can be a trusted host with the most adorable and affordable party goods this season with just a few key items from Target.
