Serve thirsty guests a refreshing drink with this 64-ounce pitcher that has a removable lid to prevent spills or bugs from getting in. It’s also made with durable BPA-free plastic, so if it does end up dropping, you won’t have a safety hazard on your hands. And if you’re weary about bringing your nice glassware outside, consider these nifty plastic cups that look just like glass (but won’t break on you). The glasses have a sleek appearance and come in six colors and styles for just $20. Your tablescape is just as important as the outdoor ambiance, which is why a dinnerware set like this one is a great option to shop. These melamine dishes have a gorgeous hand-painted appearance with flowers and swirls that are on trend for dining alfresco. The set of 12 comes with bowls and salad plates as well as dinner plates and is available in 27 colors and styles. And no outdoor party is complete without a family-dinner style sit down, which means you’ll need serving platters, too. If you want a platter that looks like a work of art, go with this two-piece melamine set that comes with a round platter and an oval platter, so you can serve shrimp pasta, herb crusted fish, chicken satay, and more. Whether everyone is sitting at a dining table or hanging out in various lounge areas, a few patio furniture items can’t hurt. This Christopher Knight side table is made with beautiful weather-resistant acacia wood and channels Scandinavian minimalism with its round top and three-legged design—and it’s 57 percent off right now. If your group is more into eating or lounging on the floor, opt for this jute pouf that’s great for sitting on or resting your feet.
