If you're hosting a backyard barbecue or other entertainment this summer, it's helpful to have a plan before you get started. These tips can help you plan and allow you to sit back and enjoy the fun alongside your guests.
1. Provide good music. Set the mood as soon as your guests walk in with a cheerful playlist.
2. Add a creative twist to the menu. When you feel like a tasty meal - but you want to keep it simple - make sure you choose things that you can prepare well in advance. Such as tasty skewers, grilled vegetables and fruit and a quick couscous salad.
3. Create a buffet table. Make a buffet table so your guests can grab their own food. It's an easy way to make sure you can enjoy the day too.
4. Grab some games. Whether you're hosting a game night or just a BBQ with friends, keep games handy to keep things cozy.
