Re: any ideas, tips, suggestions on entertaining outdoors?
Get this for the bugs (avail at Home Depot, Lowe's, several different brands). We used it last summer on our very wooded lot (the bugs would pick you up and carry you away) and it really worked well, lasted about 4-6 weeks every time.
Serve your food in double containers to keep it chilled - fill a large dish with ice, then set the food in a smaller dish on top of the large dish.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
You can get some really cute vinyl table cloths at places like home goods, tj maxx, etc. I'd make it bright and colorful.
You could have canned/bottle drinks in big iced buckets ( I love this)
Depending what time of day, you could put out citronella candles.
Have fun!
If it is during the day we rake up the yard and lay tablecloths and throw pillows on the ground and do a buffet on our patio table.
We have a tiny house, but an enormous backyard and we love to entertain, so I feel your pain in trying to organize something like this.
Watermelons and ice pops are also a favorite cool me down summer treat for both children and adults.
