1) Determine where to temporarily store the items inside your garage.

This will help with safekeeping and quick retrieval after the gathering. Possible places to store things (such as boxes and sporting equipment) may include areas of your home or backyard-just make sure the location is dry and clean!

2) Provide a walkway or clear path in the garage area.

This will prevent any obstacles from moving furniture or any garage materials from one point to another. A clear walkway provides for easier mobility when maneuvering furniture and other garage items. For potential garage storage organizers, click here.

3) Remove all dangerous materials.

This is very important, as safety should be a main priority to consider and emphasize. Ensure that all tools, equipment, chemicals and other materials that can cause harm and injury (especially to children) are properly stored away elsewhere.

4) Decorate your garage with flowering plants and other décor.

This may be a simple but effective way to enhance the beauty of the garage. Adding colorful plants and themed party décor will brighten the garage and seem homier.

5) Store extra food in your kitchen pantry.

Maintaining an organized kitchen pantry will help save time and make the effort of grabbing additional refreshments more convenient. For helpful items on how to store your food and beverages, visit our pantry storage ideas here.
