Start off the summer season off with an amazing, fun, and memorable BBQ party with family and friends! Hosting a BBQ is always a fun time, and serves as the perfect excuse to throw an outdoor party!

BBQ is the perfect summer food and keep the entertainment going into the evening with an outdoor movie! With an endless amount of barbeque party ideas, here are some tips to help you make sure your summer BBQ and movie night go off without a hitch!

Summer BBQ Ideas

  1. Set Up A Gourmet Burger Bar . Why settle for boring burgers when you can tempt your guests with your own gourmet burger bar! Let your guests build their own perfect burger, with a variety of buns and all the delicious and fun toppings that you can think of! Other grilling options include hot dogs, chicken, steaks, kabobs, and grilled fish or shrimp.
  2. Have A Variety Of Food. An essential part of any BBQ party is the food that you pair with your grilling selection. Classic BBQ snack foods include chips, dips, vegetables and dip, pretzels, and popcorn. When considering side dishes, classics include potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw, baked beans, corn on the cob and fruit salad. Let us not forget desserts! These often include watermelon slices, cookies, ice cream or popsicles, and apple pie.
  3. Decorations. It can be easy to decorate your backyard BBQ by choosing classic, simple and rustic items. Keep things simple while you allow the outdoors to provide the ambiance needed for a great party. Focus can be placed on lighting, table décor and centerpieces to enhance but not overwhelm your party.
  4. Entertaining Games . Organize a few party games for your partygoers to play during the BBQ. Some fun outdoors games include corn hole, giant Jenga, tag, volleyball, kickball, whiffle ball or badminton. Incorporating BBQ party games into the celebration is an easy way to keep everyone entertained and having fun
  5. Beverages . As part of your pre-party prep, be sure to fully stock a cooler with ice, bottled waters, juice boxes, and other kid-friendly drinks. Set up another tub filled with beer, wine, and other adult beverages. Another great option is to offer fun summer cocktails which can be premixed so you don't consume your time measuring, pouring, and stirring during your event.
  6. Outdoor Movie . Go the extra mile and treat your BBQ party guests to a fun Outdoor Movie Night and bring the magic of movies under the stars to your own backyard! At Premiere Outdoor Movies, our backyard movie package is perfect! This is one of our most popular events for parties of 5 to 75 people.
