Creative Lemonade Stand Ideas for Adults

When you have friends over for a small summertime gathering, many times you offer a little something for them to sip on and treats to enjoy. Ponder with me! Why not use the lemonade stand idea and incorporate it into how you serve your guests their refreshing drinks and dainty treats? I’m so happy you stopped by so we can peek at this creative concept; lemonade stand ideas for adults.

What do You Need for an Adult Lemonade Stand?

To stage a lemonade stand for adults at home, you might want to shake things up a bit and offer a few more embellishments than you normally would, selling lemonade on the sidewalk. You can use a cute bar cart or small table, pretty platters, rattan trays, plants (I love this cute lemon plant), candles, linen napkins, cute plates, and so much more.

I used green water goblets and positioned lemon wedges on the brim for a pretty color contrast. I love to add those “little extras.” It makes people feel special and loved.

There are many fun foods, and different lemonade-flavored drinks you can incorporate at your lemon-themed gathering. From salty pretzels and popcorn to strawberry and blueberry syrups, the sky is the limit as to what you can serve.

If you decide to add alcohol to your lemon themed party, you can incorporate the bottles on your bar cart or display table as you see fit. Remember to keep the taller options towards the back so you can still see the shorter embellishments up front.

One more cute idea! Consider offering your friends a tiny gift that coordinates with your lemon décor, so they walk away with treats in their tummies as well as thoughtful mementos to savor. The lemon-themed grocery pads were my score-of-a-find from Dollar Tree. I thought they would go perfectly with the other pieces. 🍋 What do you think?

Just for Grins- What is a Good Price for a Lemonade Stand?

Again, if going in the “for-sale” direction, the going price for a cup of lemonade is $1.00. It’s best to use larger solo cups and fill them 3/4 of the way full. Feel free to find cups with lids and straws, too, to help prevent any spills.

P.S. Note of Encouragement

Something I have been pondering lately is Matthew 11:30 which talks about God’s yoke being easy and His burden light. I’m using this as a check and balance system in my life right now.

Can you relate to how easy it is for your plate to get so full of things to do that you feel overwhelmed by all you need to accomplish? Like, in a single day? Can I get an amen, momma bears? LOL!

This has been a very real reality for me. I’ve had to take a few steps back and readjust. I want to encourage you to do the same. Remove what you can, and stay steady and focused on what MUST be done.

Don’t forget to rest, relax, and take time away from the busyness of life to just be still and savor the moment. Remember, if His yoke is easy, as He says it is, whatever seems to be outside of this “box” should be reevaluated.

Yes, life can be heard at times. And it’s not necessarily outside of God’s will, but the burned should feel light.

Bless you, sweet friend! 🤍
