How to spice up your backyard barbeque

It doesn’t take a grill master to know that no barbeque is complete without burgers and hot dogs, but what about the rest of the party planning? Look no further for fun ways to add some sizzle to the season.

Cheers.

Don’t just settle for the usual sodas and beverages. Serve up your own signature drink in a glass pitcher. For example, you could put a new spin on classic lemonade with a splash of cranberry and club soda. Call it something like Cranade Sparkler!

Play ball.

Kids or no kids, everybody loves games. Wiffle ball and frisbee are low cost options. Hula hoops are always good for a laugh. Also a party favorite—twister!

Shoo fly.

Don’t let pesky black flies and mosquitoes drive your guests inside. Have bug spray on hand and citronella candles on the picnic table.

Mix it up.

Get your barbeque groove on with some handpicked tunes. Cook up a cookout mix to get guests in the mood for fun!

Favors, anyone?

You wouldn’t throw a children’s party without party favors. Why not give your guests a parting gift. A little trinket will do. How about a balloon attached to a bottle opener?

Here’s to a barbeque season to remember!
