Your Next Back Yard BBQ Can Be A Smash Hit!
4 Ways To Make It Memorable…
Summertime just isn’t summertime without a backyard
BBQ. But why not spice up more than your famous grilled
steak? You can have a lot of fun with a few easy ideas and a
trip to your local craft store…
#1. Hawaiian Luau. Take your friends and family to
paradise in your own backyard. Your local craft or dollar
store is a great place to find plastic leis and Tiki torches. And
go ahead and grill in a grass skirt. (Watch those flames
though!) Pulled pork and pineapple make for a great
Hawaiian feast, now pipe some Hawaiian music into the back
yard and you’re transported to the tropics of paradise.
#2. Dog Days Of Summer. This is perfect for pooch lover’s,
invite all your friends to bring their furry best friends along for
the BBQ. Keep the doggie theme going with an array of
gourmet hot dogs, even some treats for the pups, and
welcome your guests with a doggie themed song. (Ain’t
Nothing But A Hound Dog, Who Let The Dogs Out...you get
the idea!)
#3. Beach Party. This one can be a lot of fun, especially if
you model 50’s and 60’s classic beach movies, like the
original Gidget movie circa 1959. Bring out the vintage
swimsuits, beach balls, and fun 50’s and 60’s beach music.
The perfect menu is hamburgers, hot dogs and Jell-O salad.
Now, pop open a Coke in a glass bottle, and enjoy a vintage
trip to the beach in your backyard!
#4. A Country Hoedown. Get really authentic with a down
home BBQ party. Red and white checkered table clothes,
corn on the cob, and BBQ ribs are your hoedown fare. Get
yourself some cowboy boots and a 10-gallon hat, and then
throw a couple of bails of hay in your back yard for extra
seating. Now crank up the country tunes. (Sweet Home
Alabama, anyone?) Yee-haw!
Even inviting your friends to your themed BBQ can be
fun and special by using an “evite” that matches the theme of
your party. You can find free evites at websites like
www.evite.com or www.smilebox.com
