Backyard Cookouts Bring a dish!
Want to end the summer with a bang! but don't have any ideas? Here's a great idea that won't cost you a fortune.
Pick a theme and have everyone bring a dish.
For example:
Theme: Casseroles
Ask each of your guests to bring a casserole along with the recipe. Since each guest will be bringing a dish, the cost should be relatively low.
It is not necessary for the family hosting the party to cook due to the fact that they will provide the drinks and paper supplies.
Dress up Your Next Barbecue
Try this at your next backyard barbecue. As your guests arrive to the delicious scents from the grill, hand them each a bandana that they have to wear in some way. Each person will probably find some unique way of tying on a bandana. What a funny conversation-starter! You can present each family or group with different-colored bandanas. As the host, wear a cowboy hat. Present a toy sheriff's badge to the guest of honor. These easy “decorating” tips will tie in perfectly with the easy atmosphere of grilled food and all the side dishes.
