5. Beverage Bonanza 🍹

How do you keep the party going? Keep the drinks flowing with a well-stocked bar. Think refreshing summer cocktails, ice-cold beers, and plenty of non-alcoholic options for the kiddos. 🍻 Instaparty’s vendors can even hook you up with a bartender to keep those drinks coming all night long!

Make sure there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Hire a local band or DJ to keep the tunes pumping, set up lawn games like cornhole and horseshoes, and have some fireworks ready to light up the night sky.
