Your backyard represents a sacred space where family and friends come together, share some fruit salad, swap grilling methods and catch up on life. It’s a place where corn hole and horseshoes are freely played and the competition between parents and kids is stiff.
Picture your family get-togethers: what’s at the center of them?
Most likely it’s a table – covered with lunch, dinner, snacks, crafts or cards. It’s a gathering place with plenty of room to squeeze in one more person. It’s you’re little, one day vacation.
Knowing that many-a-memory has been made in the backyard, we wanted to highlight 5 parties you can have at the picnic table. And if you’re in the market for one, check out your options – which currently have HUGE discounts with our end-of-summer sale. Some tables’ sales prices are hundreds of dollars less than before! (Plus FREE SHIPPING and no sales tax for all states other than Pennsylvania).
1. A baby shower – ah, the circle of life. With July, August and September having the highest birth rates, the outdoor baby shower is perfect for those late summer/early fall babies.
