\"Family<\/p>\n

No matter the occasion, the crowd, or the cuisine, we can all agree that <\/span>summertime<\/span> is the perfect time for a <\/span>BBQ party<\/a><\/strong>. To help you plan the ultimate <\/span>summer BBQ<\/span>, we\u2019ve compiled some must-do tips so your cookout is a blast, not a bust. Plus, you\u2019ll find matching invitations to ensure guests are counting down the days to your <\/span>summer BBQ<\/span> bash.<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts of <\/b>Summer BBQ<\/b> Parties<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Summer<\/p>\n

When it comes to planning a <\/span>summer BBQ<\/span>, there\u2019s no single way to pull off the perfect party. However, there are some do\u2019s and don’ts to ensure you have a stress-free planning process and make the event enjoyable for everyone. Here are a few things to do \u2014 and a few to avoid \u2014 when planning your <\/span>summer BBQ<\/span> event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do: Kick Off the Party\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Whether it’s a birthday party, <\/span>4th of July celebration<\/a><\/strong>, family reunion, or simply an excuse to toast the summer, step up and be the one to initiate your gathering. That means deciding on a date, time, and location for the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can host a <\/span>summer BBQ<\/span> in your backyard, at a local swim center, park, or down at the beach. Whatever location you pick, make sure to get any required permits ahead of time and consider how you\u2019ll transport decorations, food, and supplies to and from the location.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t: Hold Off on the Hors D’Oeuvres\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Summer<\/p>\n

Nothing’s worse than showing up to a party and waiting hungrily to start eating. Have plenty of yummy <\/span>appetizers<\/span> ready from the get-go \u2014 bottomless guacamole and chips or crudite with savory dips are sure to please crowds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Grilled <\/span>veggies<\/span>, <\/span>juicy<\/span> coleslaw<\/span>, and <\/span>grilled corn<\/span> on the <\/span>cob<\/span> are also excellent starter options. <\/span>For a tasty Mediterranean salad, you can also mix tomatoes, <\/span>red onion<\/span>, cucumber, <\/span>feta<\/span>, and <\/span>balsamic<\/span> dressing. <\/span>Set out small <\/span>side dishes<\/span> including <\/span>pasta salad<\/span>, <\/span>potato salad<\/span>, <\/span>watermelon<\/span> slices, and <\/span>jalapeno<\/span> poppers for guests to snack on.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the main event, be sure to plan for finger-licking good <\/span>BBQ<\/span> favorites. <\/span>Crispy<\/span> kebabs<\/span> are fun and easy \u2014 think <\/span>zucchini<\/span>, onion, mushrooms, and bell peppers for a vegan-friendly option as well as meat-based selections.<\/span><\/p>\n

BBQ chicken<\/span>, <\/span>hot dogs<\/span>, <\/span>hamburgers<\/span>, and <\/span>turkey burgers<\/span> are classics for a summer cookout. Just make sure you have<\/span> gluten-free<\/span> and\/or vegan <\/span>buns<\/span> for those with dietary requirements. You can also set out toppings and sides like <\/span>black beans<\/span>, <\/span>chickpeas<\/span>, <\/span>cilantro<\/span>, <\/span>fresh herbs<\/span>, and <\/span>paprika<\/span> for guests to spice up their dishes. Condiments like <\/span>olive oil<\/span>, <\/span>BBQ sauce<\/span>, <\/span>chipotle<\/span> mustard, <\/span>pesto<\/span>, and <\/span>vinaigrette<\/span> can add to the flavorings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Need more ideas? Check out<\/span> this collection of <\/strong>BBQ recipes<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. You\u2019ll find everything from classic burgers to fun takes like <\/span>pistachio<\/span> corn salad<\/span>, meat <\/span>skewers<\/span>, and marinated <\/span>noodles<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do: Set the Mood\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Don’t forget to bring wireless speakers and a playlist to suit your party. Maybe you want relaxing, breezy tunes or perhaps you want to pump up the jams with lively hits. Whatever fits your fancy, you can make your own playlist or use an app like Spotify to find pre-made playlists with popular songs based on different genres.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t: Be Afraid to Delegate\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s no reason you have to make the entire spread all by yourself, so don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help and delegate. In fact, make your <\/span>summer BBQ<\/span> a <\/span>potluck party<\/a><\/strong>! Have your mom bring her famous chocolate chip cookies and your brother make his classic, oversized Caesar salad. Ask your grandma to make <\/span>Mexican<\/span> classics like <\/span>tacos<\/span>, <\/span>street corn<\/span>, and her famous <\/span>artichoke<\/span> and bean <\/span>salad recipe<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t: Slack Off\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Ask for help (well in advance) if needed to keep the day as hassle-free as possible. But don’t let friends and family do all the heavy lifting. Remember, as the host of the party, sometimes it\u2019s necessary to take on tasks like picking out a venue, setting up decor, and making arrangements with caterers. Do your homework, figure out what you need help with and what you can tackle on your own.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do: Count the Kids\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

No, the little ones aren’t going to like the clam paella, so make sure you have at least one dish that even the pickiest of eaters will like. You can never go wrong with <\/span>hot dogs<\/span> or fruit. Pick up lemonade and a badminton net and you\u2019re good to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t: Make It Inconvenient<\/b><\/h3>\n

Make sure you take into account the location, cost, and timing of your event so guests don’t have to go too far out of their way. Beach <\/span>BBQs<\/span> or Friday nights are fun, but can be difficult for busy guests. Summer <\/span>weeknights<\/span> may be a better choice for busy families that have camp and other activities planned on the weekends. But again, it really depends on your guests and your own availability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do: Make It Your Own\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Tablecloths, plates, napkins, candles, trays, string lights, and party favors are all great ways to add your own personal flair to the event. Create a signature cocktail or pick a festive color scheme and add more of your own personal touches. Check out these <\/span>eco-friendly party decorations<\/a><\/strong> for ideas on how to deck out your space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t: Overdo It\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Keep it casual and laid back. You don’t have to hire a moving crew to set up furniture in the park or make super elaborate <\/span>summer recipes<\/span>. Do as much as you want, and remember that good company (and good food) is all you really need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do: Go Green\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Along with using eco-friendly party supplies, consider reusing what you already have for servingware. Also, you can skip the paper invitations and send out <\/span>digital invitations<\/a><\/strong> from Greenvelope. Each design is customizable so you can use the curated designs crafted by artists or make them your own by changing up the color scheme, typography, and adding decorative elements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t: Worry, Be Happy<\/b><\/h3>\n

Sure, you want everything to work out perfectly, but enjoy the process and accept that not every element will go exactly according to plan. That\u2019s life, so consider it part of the fun! Ultimately, your goal is to enjoy time with loved ones, so even if the ribs turn out a little burnt, let it be and enjoy yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n
