Gather all of your family and friends together and host the biggest BBQ bash anyone has ever seen! Create delicious snacks and main dishes with the help of fresh, natural products from Summer Fresh!

The Invitations:

• If you live in a community that has one, post a memo in the “community room” that announces when & where the party is. This allows everyone who wants to attend see the posting.
• If you have them, e-mail guests with an “e-vite” these are free and people can respond right away.
• Post the invite as an event on “Facebook”

The Preparation:

• Put out a call to your neighbours that tables and chairs will be needed and have them donated to the event. Be sure to tell people to label them with their name.
• After your guests are confirmed, assign a dish that each person is responsible for. It can be as simple as “Main Dish, Dessert, and Appetizer etc…” This will ensure there isn’t duplication.
• Place a few festive decorations around the tables; try a variety of coloured table cloths and paper napkins, plates and cups. These can be purchased at dollar stores or party stores.
