Be it a Sunny Summer Afternoon or a Spring evening, weekend Barbeque Party with a lot of Ribs, Chops, Burgers, and steaks, not to mention Hot Dogs and Sausages with a bucket full of your favorite chilled beer or iced tea is a must.
If you read the last paragraph and got all excited for the next barbeque party, it is time you get to know the ways in which you can organize the best backyard party, and make everyone jealous of your versatility.
1. The Cooking begins before Your Guests come in
The smell of barbeque should be tantalizing enough for your guests when they start walking into your backyard. Hence, you should get the preparations started before the guests walk in because well you definitely want to show off some skills, work the grill, enjoy the conversations, and dazzle everyone.Never start the prep when they arrive. Get your sauces ready, meat marinated, grill fired up and all the types of meat organized the way they would hit the grill.
2. Make it a Sides Only Invitation for Your Guests
It would be an awesome thing, if your guests come up with sides like Potato Salad, Smashed Potato, Coleslaw, etc. so that everyone can contribute to the party. However, the starry attraction of the party, the meat, and the booze have to be your department and make sure you kill the scene, too.3. Never run out of Gasoline or Charcoal
Always make sure you have enough of the two most important things for the party – Gasoline, and Charcoal. You do not want to run to the stores during the party and be a spoilsport. The best advice on this note will be to have Charcoal and Gasoline worth 2-3 Barbeque Parties already with you in hand.This kind of preparation will ensure that you never run out of them when you’re deeply involved in showcasing your grill game!
4. Don’t forget the Outdoor Speakers and Chill Playlist
Music can certainly spice up the party and bring in a lot of excitement. Hence, don’t forget your Bluetooth speakers and be ready with a chill playlist, too. You can make an exciting playlist kick-start the party till the time the barbeques keep coming to everyone’s plate.Never have a silent barbeque party. It kills all the fun, which you are hoping for!
5. Have an Insane Party Invitation
Every amazing barbeque party starts with a kickass invitation to couples with early invites. Yes, you heard it right. Try to make the BBQ invitations as informal as possible and you can also make them digital. You can fire up your internet and go to any of the websites to make an invite and circulate it on WhatsApp or iMessage.If you like it old-school, keep your handmade invitations ready and post it, on time. However, e-invites are a lot more time-friendly and cost-saving.
6. Outdoor Lighting and Refrigeration is a must
If you have thrown a party, please make sure you have the basics, right! Do not shy away to put up some lights as you want the party to go after the lights go out. It adds an amazing mood to the party and the backyard lights up, too.And, I am not talking about lamps like long lights, I am talking about those rice chains and those bulbs, with a retro look, which looks quite amazing when lit up properly. Also, while you are at it, I hope you have thought about outdoor refrigeration as no one wants to go to the kitchen to get drinks.
So, keep those temporary cooling units stocked with all the soda and beer that you need for the party and make sure someone is replenishing the stocks from the garage!
7. Learn to enjoy, too
Make sure that you are enjoying the party and you are accompanied by someone while entertaining the guests. If you spend all the time behind the grill, when will you meet the guests and have fun?Now, go to the market and get all the ingredients you need and throw that amazing barbeque party you have been waiting for!
