Summer Entertaining on the Patio
Easy Summer Patio Entertaining for Friends and Family!
Summer Patio Entertaining!
It is so warm tonight as I write this post! Which means outdoor dining/entertaining is in full swing with the weather! Today I am talking all about patio Summer Entertaining! I am joining Kristen from Ella Claire to share our ideas!
Here right outside our patio door we have a round table with some seating. I love this area for a more formal vibe, but of course it is still casual in nature!
Our patio is covered, so I am able to easily treat this space similar to the way I treat our indoors! I love to have a floral arrangement for a centerpiece.
And I typically use my chargers, flatware and wine glasses just as I would in our dining room. I do make sure to use melamine out here when I can, as it holds up so well.
I picture the sun setting and fun conversation over yummy beverages and grilled courses.
You’ll notice that these thrifted napkin rings are on repeat here this season ;)…
I actually had these florals prepared for an indoor tablescape and when I was done I transferred them here as they were still thriving. But a potted plant would be just as pretty!
Comfortable seating makes the outdoor experience that much more enjoyable too!
Once dinner is over, I love to have our friends/family head over to the lounge area on our patio.
A place to enjoy after dinner coffee and cookies (or any sweets for that matter)! Lol..
If we really want to stay and enjoy longer, the fire pit opens up and we can use our outdoor tv while closing the evening out with a movie.
Summer entertaining is a favorite of mine and I just love getting to enjoy that time with loved ones! Don’t forget to see these beautiful entertaining ideas from my sweet friends down below too!

Love, love, love this charming patio of yours Annie! What a wonderful space to entertain – I’d be sitting here with a glass of wine on most nights I think 😉
Happy summer to you my friend!

Your summer patio entertaining setup is absolutely delightful! The combination of a formal yet casual vibe with thoughtful touches like floral centerpieces, melamine tableware, and thrifted napkin rings creates such a welcoming atmosphere.
