Graduation or Celebration – Prepping your Home for Parties 

Summer is right around the corner and that means it’s time for celebrations of all kinds – inside of your home and out. Whether you’re getting ready for a graduation party, wedding reception, or a summer holiday like Memorial Day or the Fourth of July, it might be time to get your home ready for lots of visitors!

Summer celebrations often mean outside entertainment. With our Courtyard or Patio Homes, large outdoor spaces mean great entertainment options for your guests. There’s no need to stay indoors when wide porches and beautiful balconies also provide great places to share conversations with friends.

Many of our home plans feature large rear deck options too, where plenty of guests can relax in comfort overlooking your finely landscaped backyard or some of our community features. Your friends and family will also have easy access to the kitchen when it’s time for more snacks or ice cold drinks.

With so much outdoor space around our homes, it’s easy to set up games such as Bocce Ball, Ladder Ball, or a good game of Frisbee. Our Eastbrook Patio Homes also offer outside space where your guests can enjoy your fire pit, bar tables, and of course, some music to make your guests mix and mingle.

Your new Eastbrook Home will make entertaining indoors a breeze. Whether you’re setting up an ice cream or taco bar, our kitchen island is perfect for serving your hungry partiers. Big enough for all the toppings you could hope for, the granite or quartz surface also makes clean-up a breeze.

Other features will make your summer celebrations easy to handle too. Use your optional Mud Room as the entryway to prevent dirt from joining the fun. If your floors do get dirty, our engineered wood, laminate and tile options make it easy to send sand and soil back out to the yard again.

Other party ideas include –

Set up a photo station in any of the beautiful corners of your home. Have mini chalk- or whiteboard signs that wedding guests can write on and hold while getting the perfect selfie to leave behind for the hosts, bride and groom, or graduate. Then, use the wide mantle over your fireplace to display the photos.

If you’re going to decorate, dress up your home for the occasion with balloons, streamers and honeycomb balls to add pops of color without causing a mess to clean up later. Glitter and confetti won’t damage your flooring, but they won’t be much fun to clean up.

Celebrate your graduate, honor a wedding party with a party, or invite all of your family over to meet your friends. No matter what the occasion, the warm weather is finally returning to make your West Michigan or Greater Lansing area entertaining fun.
