Are you hosting a summer garden party but you’re worried that you might not be able to stay safe in the heat? Worry no longer. This list of top 5 tips will help you learn how to do just that!
If you’ve realised you don’t have as big enough table for all of your guests, why not have a look at the tables we have for hire?
1. Enjoy your alcohol in moderation.
Alcohol is known as a diuretic substance, which means that it increases the amount of water your body expels with no consideration of the fact that you might need that water.
So why not try some non-alcoholic cocktails instead! Check our recipes for yummy summer non-alcoholic drinks here.
And if you need a few more cups or jugs for your non-alcoholic beverages, browse our range of crockery hire today!
2. Try to stay out of the sun between 11pm and 3pm.
11pm to 3pm is when the sun is at the highest point in the sky, and when you’re most likely to burn. The best thing to do to stay safe in the heat would be to schedule your summer garden party for later in the afternoon when the sun starts to set and the air gets cooler.
Plus, if your party runs into the darker hours, you’ll be able to put out some pretty fairy lights to set the mood.
3. Avoid physical exertion at the hottest points of the day.
This may seem obvious. But you should stay seated and relax in high temperatures, lest risk dehydrating. If someone suggests getting up to play a game, think about suggesting a cool beverage instead.
To keep your drinks cool all day why not hire a small refrigeration unit from us! Explore our range here.
4. Wear sun cream!
Nobody likes the heavy and greasy feeling that comes with sun cream. But, if you’re throwing a summer garden party, you must use it.
Depending on how high the UVB rays are on any given day, you should wear different levels of sun cream to ensure that you’re properly protected. Sun cream with an SPF of 50 will provide maximum protection from sun rays, and anything above this won’t offer much more protection.
You must research what sun cream is best for your skin type and which SPF level you should wear for what UVB rays before going out in the sun with improper protection.
5. Get in the shade.
The shade is going to be your best friend for your summer garden party. Whether you’re under a tree, an umbrella, or just sitting inside for a while, minimising your exposure will be integral in preventing burns and sunstroke and enable you to stay safe in the heat.
