TIPS FOR HOSTING A BACKYARD FIRE PIT PARTY

A fire pit in a backyard is an incredible start to a great friends-bash. And we understand—sometimes all that warm glowiness of the fire can make us forget some other important details. So here are a few things that you can't forget to take your fire pit party to the next level. We call it the BAMB test, which is the bomb, with an A. 

• Beverages

You need some fresh bevs to get your party going. People get thirsty, that is a fact. Get a cooler and fill it with waters, beers, sodas if you're feeling sugary, maybe some chilled white wine. Anything really, just give your guests something to sip on.

• Appetizers

Those who drink must also eat. Delicious appetizers are, we think, even better than a full sit-down dinner. Way more interactive and poppable. How can you go wrong?

• Music

Music is key. Party vibes can feel mellow or raise-the-roof depending on the tunage. Gather your favorite playlists and mash things up, or set things straight with a classic vinyl track. 

• Blankets

If you're in a backyard, people will want to sit down. Lay some blankets down and give people a place to stretch out.
