Food is more fun to eat when it is small and only takes a few bites! For your BBQ party, create a variety of sliders that guests can choose from. Hamburger, cheeseburger, hot dog, and even chicken sliders are all great options that are sure to wow your guests.

5. Create one big menu

Use a tall piece of plywood and paint to create a board that can be used to display your BBQ party menu. Include all the meats, sides, as well as drinks so guests have a good idea of what they have to choose from.

6. Have plenty of outdoor games

7. Don’t forget blankets

Blankets

If your BBQ party will run into the night, don’t forget to provide blankets for your guests. You can roll each blanket up and tie them with a ribbon. Blankets can be placed in a basket so that they can be easily located.

    Sunscreens are important as well if the party will be held during summer. Insect repellent or lotion to protect from mosquito bites, wet wipes, and alcohol or hand sanitizer are also must-haves.

    It’s hard to believe BBQ season is already here! It’s my absolute favorite culinary time of the year. Mostly because my husband is in charge of the grill and does all of the cooking!

    We love to have BBQ’s during the warm months. It’s so much better than heating up the house cooking indoors. I am going to have to try those fruit popsicles.
