Outdoor parties have an extra charm to them, you can have a formal party but still have a laid-back feel that indoor venues just can’t achieve. If you’re planning an outdoor debut motif but have some reservations, don’t be nervous! There are many debut packages in Manila that offer outdoor plans; just make sure to keep in mind these 6 considerations to successfully execute the debut of your dreams:

1. Have A Plan B

Let’s be real, living in a tropical country does have its challenges. Although we don’t have to worry about freezing temperatures, we do have to worry about potential rainfall. Make sure to have a back up a plan in case weather conditions don’t favour your special day whether it be a tent set-up or an indoor venue.

2. Lighting Is Key!

If your party is going to be at night then you have to make sure that there’s ample lighting. Lighting is key to capturing perfect photos of your special day and of course, for those Instagram worthy shots!

3. Double Check The Sound System

So you’re browsing through your choices of debut themes in the Philippines, checking out which is the most aesthetically pleasing BUT-- a party wouldn’t be complete without a good sound system! One of the most avoidable mistakes to make when planning an outdoor party is the sound system. Many times, others forget to consider that sound won’t be amplified as well as compared to indoors so make sure that the sound system is perfect for an outdoor set up.

4. Comfy Seats, Please

Just because it’s an outdoor party doesn’t mean comfy cushions aren’t needed. Adding comfy cushions to outdoor chairs ensures guests to relax and enjoy your party! Also check out Bohemian themed parties-- JUST BEAUTIFUL AND SO INVITING, right??

5. Drinks, Drinks, Drinks

Since it’s an outdoor party, make sure there’s ample drinks (whether warm or iced) as it can get hotter or cooler than usual. We can’t control the weather but we can control the drinks! *Wink

6. Citronella Candles!

Being outdoors means insects can join in on the party -- avoid this by easily adding citronella candles and incense and voila! Bug free.
