Tips on Hosting the Ultimate BBQ

1. Be sure to only send or invite people one week ahead of time to get a decent headcount for your BBQ. Inviting friends and family too far out usually leads to cancelations.
2. When throwing a backyard BBQ, you will want to keep it simple and cost-effective; purchase quality meat such as lean ground beef or quality all-beef hotdogs. You usually can’t go wrong there. Almost everyone loves a good hamburger or hotdog cooked on a charcoal grill.
3. Respect The Buns you use to serve your guests their hamburgers and hotdogs, and they will thank you, we use Pepperidge Farm® Hamburger Buns and Pepperidge Farm® Top-Sliced Hot Dog Buns because there are “no high fructose corn syrup” and “artificial flavors.”
4. Have plenty of condiments and add-ons on hand for your guest’s burger and hotdogs, ketchup, relish, mustard, pickles, onions, avocados, bacon, cheeses, hot peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, and so forth. Let them have fun building a unique burger or hotdog.
5. Don’t be afraid to have everyone bring their favorite side dish, and it’s a win-win situation for the crowd. Everyone loves to show off their Almost Famous family recipes at a BBQ. That leaves you more time to focus on your guests and man the BBQ grill.
6. Serve family-friendly refreshments that everyone can enjoy, such as Homemade Lemon-aid, Sweet Tea, Punch, and so forth.
7. Invest in cute-themed paper plates, plastic utensils, paper napkins, and plastic cups to add perkiness to the tablescape.
8. Pick fresh flowers or colorful wildflowers and place them in glass Mason Jars to make the table pop.
9. Use fresh in-season fruits to serve as dessert. It’s simple and delicious on a hot summer day.
10. Station a few large garbage cans for guests to place their used plates, glasses, and plastic utensils to cut down on clean-up time.
11. Play age-appropriate music that everyone, including the kids, can enjoy.
12. Most of all, enjoy your guests and mingle with the crowd!
