BBQ Goes Chic




From chic lighting tips to new twists on traditional barbeque foods, turn your backyard into a posh barbeque destination.

Invitation Idea: Wooden Utensils. Find a craft store that sells cheap wooden spoons and fork. Pair them up, tie them together with a ribbon and then attach a tag to it, along with the party details. (Don't forget to use ribbon and detailing that matches the primary color of the event - example, yellow (primary) and white (secondary).)

Drink Idea: Watermelon Punch from www.marthastewart.com (LOVE THIS!!)
Fabulous Food Ideas:

Decor Ideas: Consider lining the entrance of your home with a path of tiki torches or luminary bags. (I do this for most of my social events, I love it when guests walk up to home and/or venue and luminaries line the walk way or steps.)

Another idea - Pocket Silverware (all about the small details), I love to create paper or oilcloth pockets that matches the event theme or colors to hold silverware. Placed on a buffet tables doubles as decor!!!
