If you have a really large family, an extended outdoor sofa and patio set with multiple chairs around a central table might work. Essentially bring the living room to your outdoor patio with a modern outdoor chaise with enough seats for 8 or more. Washable covers for your sofa cushions will come in handy, and look for them in a variety of colors such as blue, green, red and white.
The best way to set up is to make sure the flow of the party is clear and guests can easily transition from one part of your home to another, without tripping on furniture or other household accessories.
Once outside, landscaping and patio furniture can make a world of difference on the impression you can make on your guests. Create a little oasis in each corner of the yard, with a central gathering location. Tuck in one corner a few lounge chaises, while a nice outdoor table with plenty of comfortable cushioned chairs works well in another.
Another great option for sipping cocktails with friends is an outdoor bar table with stools. Add comfortable multi-colored cushions to the stool for a unique, modern look. Accent the table with hanging or track lighting and set up a small mini-fridge for a mini dining area outside.
