Inspiration and tips for a memorable wedding day

I Do BBQ Wedding Shower

Celebrate the soon to be newly-weds with a succulent I Do BBQ wedding shower. This theme works particularly well for coed wedding showers with guests of all ages.

A BBQ makes for a fun party idea during summer month and requires minimum decorating. Divide your backyard into designated zones to accommodate a drink station, food tables, seating areas and some empty spaces if you intend to play lawn games.

Make it easy for all guests to serve themselves by labeling all the foods to be served. In addition to serving deliciously spiced meat on the BBQ, have a few meatless patties for vegetarian guests. Summery salads, corn on the cob and a raw vegetable tray are nice additions to any meal. Set a board that includes roasted peppers, sauteed mushrooms and onions, tomato slices and dill pickles for your guests to build upscale burgers.

Have plenty of bottles of water on hand, other non-alcoholic cold refreshments, beer, wine and a delectable fruit punch for all to enjoy. Keep everything neatly organized at your drinking station to create a sense of ease.

Keep your decor simple with a banner and welcome sign to warmly greet your guests. Make sure your backyard is well lit to prolong the party after the sun goes down. Dress your table with a tablecloth and add a unique touch to your venue with personalized accessories to celebrate the upcoming wedding.
