6 Reasons To Avoid an Outdoor Birthday Party, Part 2
Still thinking that an outdoor birthday party might be a great idea? Here are a few more reasons to help you change your mind.
- The Food
We are not even going to talk about the hardships that come with bringing the food outdoors and keeping it looking fresh even if it’s not windy. You have to consider the spoiling factor. Plenty of party food requires a certain temperature regime to stay fresh. Leaving meat and dairy in the sun can lead to some unfortunate circumstances for those who decide to take a bite.
Meanwhile, you can forget about cold drinks in the summer heat. The way out is to arrange outdoor ice chests and fridges. This means you have to incur additional expenses.
- The Wildlife
Are you ready to battle buzzing flies and hungry mosquitos? Don’t forget about them. The annoying creatures like eating the party food and feeding on the guests. Something is bound to happen at the outdoor party. Someone loses a cell phone in the high grass or a drunk friend gets an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite. You usually hope for the best. However, in reality, outdoors can be dangerous so you need to plan for the worst.
- The Dancing
Does the place you are planning your party in have a dance floor? If it’s all covered by grass, you are bound to ruin the lawn. Meanwhile, the lighting can be tricky. The absence of sufficient lighting can cause unfortunate accidents. All this leads to additional expenses.
No matter how complicated the planning of the outdoor birthday party is and how many ways it can go wrong, nothing can replace the intoxicating smell of fresh grass and the dancing under starry skies.
