The Ultimate Backyard Party Checklist: Practical Trestle Tables That Make Hosting your next event Easy

Hosting a backyard party is one of the best ways to bring family and friends together. Whether it’s a birthday, engagement, baby shower, or casual get-together, the right trestle table setup will make all the difference.

 

At FoldingTables.com.au, we’ve helped countless Sydney hosts set up stylish and functional backyard events. To make your planning easier, here’s our ultimate trestle table checklist — including our popular low boho trestle tables for relaxed outdoor vibes.

Your Backyard Party Trestle Table Checklist

1. Choose the Right Size Trestle Table

Backyard spaces come in all shapes and sizes, so picking the right trestle table is key.

  • 1.5m trestle tables → perfect for small gatherings or snack stations.
  • 1.8m trestle tables → the most popular choice, seating 6–8 people.
  • 2.4m trestle tables → ideal for long banquet-style setups or large parties.

Pro Tip: Allow 600mm per guest for comfortable seating.

2. Add a Low Boho Trestle Table for Lounge Seating

For a relaxed, stylish look, our low boho trestle tables are a must-have.

These tables sit closer to the ground and are paired with floor cushions, rugs and throws — creating a cosy, Instagram-worthy setting. They’re perfect for:

  • Picnic-style birthdays
  • Boho-themed engagement parties
  • Garden brunches and baby showers
  • Sunset dinners with friends

👉 Hire a few low boho trestle tables together for a long, flowing banquet look.

3. Cover Your Tables with Linen or Styling Decor

Transform plain trestle tables into party-ready centrepieces with:

  • Tablecloths or runners (linen or rustic textures work best outdoors)
  • Candles, lanterns or fairy lights for evening events
  • Flowers and greenery to match your backyard theme

4. Plan for Food & Drinks

Think about dedicated trestle tables for:

  • Buffet or grazing stations
  • Drinks or cocktail bar setup
  • Dessert or cake table
  • Kids’ activity table

👉 Using multiple trestle tables keeps your space organised and prevents crowding.

5. Don’t Forget the Extras

Pair your trestle tables with:

  • Folding chairs or benches for seating
  • Umbrellas or marquees for shade
  • Portable racks or mirrors if your event involves outfit changes (perfect for bridal or fashion events)
