Eva Amurri shares her favorite outdoor entertaining pieces

I absolutely love entertaining friends and family at my home– it’s a huge joy sparker for me! Ever since I was a little girl, the feeling of having a full home with lots of people sharing a meal, drinks, and laughter always makes me feel whole and comforted. It has always been a huge priority for me as an adult (and especially as a Mom!) to make our home a place where people love to come, spend time, and have fun. I’ve noticed that my kids are turning into little party-lovers as much as I was at their age. I always felt a certain amount of pride and having a home where people liked to enjoy themselves, and I feel it today too. Entertaining is a primary hobby of mine and one I find to be such a stress reliever (I know most people feel the opposite!). But I always try to remind people who feel overwhelmed by hosting, that there is nothing quite as special as looking around a room of your nearest and dearest who are genuinely enjoying themselves and feel a sense of comfort and pride in helping to create that moment for them. Watching people enjoy themselves is a joy in itself!

Each year around this time, I like to share a little roundup of outdoor entertaining pieces. It’s such a nice time to be outside with friends and family. Especially with all the craziness of the pandemic over the last couple of years, outdoor dining and socializing tend to be a style that people of all ages and anxiety levels can enjoy comfortably. Because of that, it’s a nice area of your hostess arsenal to invest in! Below are some of my favorite recent finds. Let me know which ones catch your eye!
