Ingredients
- Paper plates or plastic/melamine reusable plates
- Paper napkins
- Utensils depending on the dishes you're serving
- Plastic/compostable cups or unbreakable reusable cups/drink glasses
- Serving platters and bowls
- Drink pitcher
Instructions
- Plan your menu in advance. Take into account how many guests you're hosting, as well as their specific dietary needs. (So if you're hosting vegans, don't plan a meat-centric menu, etc.)
- Once your menu is planned, make your cooking timeline. Be sure to allow for some wiggle room because cooking times are sometimes knocked off.
- Plan what you're going to serve your dishes on and in so that you can have those prepared and ready well before guests arrive.
- Grocery shop.
- Make anything you can in advance to keep the pressure off yourself as go-time becomes closer.
- As you're preparing and cooking, take a deep breath. Keep your cool.
- When guests arrive, interact with them, and enjoy yourself! The whole point of entertaining is to have FUN, so be sure to do that while you're feeding and seeing your people.
Notes
- Please note that your times, as well as your budget, will vary depending on the number of guests, as well as what menu you've decided upon. Take the time to think this through so that you can throw a backyard BBQ with ease (and without added stress!)
