You don’t even need to venture far—transform your backyard into your glamping haven. This article will give you some glamping party ideas on the decorations, food, gifts, and more you need to plan a backyard glamping party that will impress your guests.

1. Glamping Party Design Concept

Designing a glamping party is easy. With natural elements as the core, it incorporates comfortable amenities and decorations in the natural environment, such as outdoor furniture, soft cushions, exquisite tableware, and some exquisite decorations.

But, first, you have to decide on a theme for your luxurious party, and then decorate the courtyard environment according to this theme. Through the theme color, lighting, and furniture collocation can show your unique taste as the protagonist.

2. Venue Preparation

When you start preparing the party space, you need to level the ground first. If the ground is uneven, you can consider laying wood or sand waterproof mats to ensure that guests have a comfortable walking space.

Remember to count the attendance in advance. We need to determine the size of the layout space according to the number of guests. Ensure the guests have plenty of room to move around.

Pay attention to the table and chair placement can not be too crowded and the aisle should be spacious enough. If your backyard is without shelter, I suggest that you set up a tent for a glamping party. So even if it rains, your party won't be affected too much.

3. Backyard Glamping Party Tent and Gear

Setting up a tent for your backyard glamping parties will add a lot of camping atmosphere to your party. Not only that, when the sun shines directly on your yard at noon, the tent can shield your guests from the sun and keep them comfortable and cool.

When it rains, you can still hold your party in the tent. It sounds great, right? Here are two great tents for a backyard glamping party that you can rent or buy according to your needs:

Clear Top Tent: Its transparent design can easily integrate different styles of decoration and theme design, which can make your theme party more special.

The frame structure is made of aluminum alloy, which is more resistant to corrosion and will not be easily damaged even when used in humid and changeable outdoor environments.

Pole Tent: The pole tent has a classic and elegant appearance that can bring a lot of charm to your party. Not only that, the tent has plenty of space inside, which can easily accommodate a large number of guests, ensuring a comfortable experience.

The open design ensures good air circulation inside the tent, which makes your guest feel good.

Except for the tent, you'll also need comfortable folding chairs for your guests. Everyone can sit together, enjoy the food, and have fun.

In terms of food, usually one of the most attractive parts of the glamping party is the barbecue. If are going to set up this part for your glamping party, then you need to prepare an outdoor barbecue oven, and fire pit, and some barbecue tools.

4. Glamping Party Decorations and Lighting

To make your glamping party look special, it is necessary to decorate with some details. Don't hesitate to hang some strings of lights on your tree. They always look romantic. Set up some solar firefly lights in the grass, and at night it will be like a million fireflies flying into your yard.  

Print some cute logos with functions and place them in different areas. So your guests can distinguish the function of each region according to these signs. This will make people feel very interested.

Besides, hang some colorful garlands on your bland walls, or add some colorful bouquets to your desktop. Trust me, it will put your guests in a good mood.

5. Glamping Party Food

I believe that food makes everyone happy, and preparing food for your glamping party is also a joy. Don't get vexed, there are thousands of different foods that can be chosen.

Just use your magic to assemble ordinary ingredients and turn them into some lovely combinations. That will amaze your guests. Here's a list of cute food pairings you can find some inspiration for:

• Fairy Fruit Bar: Thread different fruits onto a skewer

• Shape cookies: Make cookies into different shapes and use cream or chocolate to draw cute emojis on them

• Pixie Popcorn: Caramel Popcorn with edible glitter

• Marshmallow Stick: Stick marshmallows on top of cookie sticks

• Barbecue ingredients: different colors of vegetables and meat are threaded on the grill to form a colorful skewer

• Pizza: Put different flavors on your pizza to make your pizza look rich

• Gummy Bears: Prepare a variety of different colors of gummy bears

6. Glamping Games

Your glamping party will lack fun if there is no game. So what games will suit for the glamping party? Take advantage of the open-air backyard, hold a stargazing event, prepare some telescopes for guests in advance, and print star maps. So guests can identify different star patterns together.

If you set up a transparent tent, then this is when it comes in handy. Guests can see the stars directly under the tent without having to step outside.

Prepare a campfire and let everyone sit around the warm fire on a dark night and share their stories. This kind of opportunity is sporadic.

After all, we may be swamped and ignore the friends around us, so that we can have a chance to share ourselves, which can narrow the distance between each other.

These happy moments should be captured on camera, and remember to prepare some fun props, such as flower crowns, animal ears, and camping hats, which will make you laugh when you look back at the photos later

7. Perfect Glamping Party Gifts

Let's end the glamping party with a well-prepared gift. This is especially necessary if you're having a glamping birthday party. Let guests know in advance that there will be a gift exchange, so they can prepare their gifts in advance.

You can also prepare a thoughtful little gift for your guests. These gifts could be some practical hand cream, or water bottles. It could be some of your homemade cookies, candy, or jam.

Even it can be some picture frames or party booklets that guests can go home and store photos of the party.

Certainly, if these gifts can be beautifully packaged, it is better. With the package, it will be more convenient for guests to take away, and they can feel your care through the exquisite packaging

Things to Note When Planning a Glamping Party

However, in addition to the items mentioned above, to ensure a smooth party, we have to make more efforts. Here are some extra glamping party ideas for you:

Send Invitations in Advance

It is important to send invitations to the guests in advance. Everyone has their own schedule and they need to receive invitations to schedule the time in advance. It will ensure that your guests get to the party on time.

Besides, absent guests will have time to let you know. You can determine the actual number of people who will be there, prepare food gifts, etc. according to the actual number of people, so you can avoid waste.

Advice on Dress

Since this is an outdoor party, I recommend you and your guests wear something comfortable, or a suit for outdoor. So that you will not feel constrained by your clothes and have less fun during the game.

In addition, there is also no need to worry about accidentally getting food on your clothes and affecting your mood in the process of having fun. So just put on a top that you feel comfortable with and have fun.

Watch the Weather Forecast and be Prepared

Don't let the bad weather spoil your good mood. Check the weather forecast in advance, and if it's going to be rainy, you can get a tent with a side curtain to protect your guests from getting wet.

If it is sunny, you should pay attention to sun protection. And provide some sheltered areas for your guests.

Get Cleaning Supplies Ready

If there's trash waiting to be cleaned up after a party, you must be devastated. If you want to avoid this dilemma, you'd better prepare plenty of trash cans and garbage bags in advance.

And put them in a convenient place for guests to throw rubbish. Also, have some detergent on hand in case drinks are spilled on guests.
