Tis the season for outdoor celebrations with friends and family, and summer entertaining! If there’s one item I absolutely adore and so thankful I purchased, it’s definitely my bar cart. Bar carts are perfect for storing signature cocktails, wine, beer, appetizers, side dishes, desserts and more. Outdoor bar carts are essential for pool parties, graduations, weekend brunch, summer soirees, etc.
Bar carts are not only essential for entertaining, but they’re fun to decorate! I love adding a cute banner or garland to the front of mine, and my favorite decor items as well. They’re perfect for a themed party or a holiday celebration. With graduation season upon us, bridal showers, Father’s Day, the 4th of July, weddings, etc. you can decorate your new bar cart with the theme of your choice. Amazon and Etsy are two of my favorite places to shop for banners! They’re super affordable, trendy and fun!
