Kick off the summer with a big <\/span>Memorial Day<\/span> shindig or celebrate America\u2019s birthday \u2014 also <\/span>National Barbecue Day<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 with a backyard BBQ. You can even plan a baby-q to celebrate your bestie\u2019s little one or host a barbecue gathering for a <\/span>birthday party<\/span>. Here, we\u2019ll show you fun <\/span>BBQ party ideas<\/span> so you can plan a fun day in the sun no matter what special moment you\u2019re celebrating.<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

How to Host the <\/b>Best BBQ Party<\/b> in 6 Steps<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"BBQ<\/p>\n

The best thing about <\/span>BBQ parties<\/span> is that they aren\u2019t complicated. That means you can put a lot of planning and thought into your event, but you can also pull one together at the last minute and still have a blast. Read on for an easy step-by-step guide to planning the ideal <\/span>BBQ party<\/span> for any celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Choose a Location<\/b><\/h3>\n

Every memorable <\/span>BBQ party<\/span> starts with a great location. You can choose to host a <\/span>backyard barbecue party<\/span> at your own home, borrow a friend\u2019s sprawling garden, or find a local event space to host the celebration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some public venues you can consider include parks, lakeside pavilions, and local beaches. You can combine the BBQ event with a pool party or go for more of a<\/span>\u00a0picnic vibe<\/a><\/strong>, depending on the mood of the event. You can even host a BBQ at a national or state park if you’re looking for jaw-dropping views.<\/span><\/p>\n

You might be able to host a BBQ party at a restaurant or local brewery. Be sure to contact them ahead of time to discuss menu ideas, event spaces, and dates and times for the party.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Decorate the Space<\/b><\/h3>\n

Once you know where you\u2019re hosting the party, it\u2019s time to think about decorations. Classic <\/span>party decor<\/span> like balloons and streamers are a great way to set the scene for a fun gathering. For a fancier <\/span>dinner party<\/span>, you can dress up the <\/span>tablescape<\/span> by adding summery floral <\/span>centerpieces<\/span>. Cheerful blooms like sunflowers, daisies, and gladiolas add an instant pop of color.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning a casual BBQ party, drape <\/span>gingham<\/span> fabric over the tables as tablecloths. Set out small picnic baskets with condiments and silverware to complement the look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lighting also makes great <\/span>outdoor party decorations<\/span>. Hang <\/span>string lights<\/span> in the trees or drape fairy lights on the tables for a soft ambiance. Lanterns and candles are sure to keep the space cozy and bright even as the party stretches into the evening hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Plan Games<\/b><\/h3>\n

Keep your guests entertained with fun backyard games like giant Jenga, <\/span>cornhole<\/span>, and wiffle ball. You can also cozy up around a <\/span>firepit<\/span>, roast <\/span>s\u2019mores<\/span>, and tell ghost stories once it gets dark. If you have some musically gifted guests, invite them to bring their instruments and lead a fun sing-along.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can create a <\/span>DIY<\/span> scavenger hunt and have guests look for items they can easily find in nature. For a baby shower BBQ party, hide themed objects like bottles and diapers for the scavenger hunt.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Send Out Invitations<\/b><\/h3>\n

Get your guests ready for the fun by sending out<\/span> digital invitations<\/a><\/strong>. At Greenvelope, you\u2019ll find dozens of<\/span> invitation designs for BBQ parties<\/a><\/strong> and <\/span>summertime<\/span> celebrations. Customize the invite by changing up the color scheme and adding elements like music to make it impossible for guests not to RSVP.<\/span><\/p>\n

In your invite, be sure to include the date, time, and location of the event. If it\u2019s a <\/span>potluck<\/span>, ask guests to bring along a <\/span>side dish<\/span> or <\/span>main dish<\/span>. Set up a website or spreadsheet where guests can sign up to bring a specific item and include the link in your invitation \u2014 this way, you’ll know you have all your bases covered, and guests won\u2019t bring the same items.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Create a Mouthwatering Spread<\/b><\/h3>\n

A <\/span>BBQ party<\/span> is all about the food. From popular <\/span>side dishes<\/span> like <\/span>potato salad<\/span>, coleslaw, and <\/span>pasta salad<\/span> to mains, including <\/span>hot dogs<\/span>, burgers, and <\/span>veggie<\/span> skewers<\/span>, there are tons of options when it comes to grilling up tasty foods. Don\u2019t forget the accompaniments: <\/span>buns<\/span>, condiments, and toppings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For easy <\/span>appetizers<\/span>, set out slices of <\/span>watermelon<\/span>, chips and guacamole, and crispy chicken wings. Help guests wash the delicious meal down with refreshments, including <\/span>sangria<\/span>, lemonade, and punch.<\/span><\/p>\n

No<\/span> summer BBQ<\/strong><\/span><\/a> is complete without a <\/span>summer dessert<\/span>. Set up an <\/span>ice cream<\/span> bar where guests can scoop their own frozen treat and add toppings like chocolate sauce, caramel, and crushed nuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Send Guests Home With Memorable Gifts<\/b><\/h3>\n

Wrap up the evening and send guests home with a party favor as a token of your appreciation. For a<\/span>\u00a0baby shower BBQ party<\/a><\/strong>, send guests home with a monogrammed hot sauce bottle or a <\/span>s\u2019mores<\/span> kit. For a <\/span>birthday party<\/span>, a small bag packed with snack foods and candy is a great option. Use things like burlap, twine, and <\/span>gingham<\/span> fabric to match the BBQ theme.<\/span><\/p>\n
