Jeanne Benedict is a nationally renowned event planner. Her website is filled with fabulous recipes and ideas for parties of all kinds and every season. Jeanne Benedict has teamed up with Fling Bins to deliver tips on how to throw the perfect outdoor party.
- Treat your guests to kabobs at your next BBQ, which are easy to prepare and require minimal time on the grill. Wrap the ends of the kabob skewers with aluminum foil so they do not char while cooking.
- Create a condiment station with six to ten dipping sauces. The variety allows guests to choose their favorites and make each kabob distinctively their own!
- Combine décor with the menu. Fresh fruit displays are not only beautiful to the eye but it offers a fresh, healthy treat for guests.
- For an extra special gathering, place embellished glassware and place cards at each seating. You can find removable decals, stickers, craft paper and card stock at the local craft store to personalize each guest’s seat at the table.
- Provide convenient trash and recycling containers on-site, so you have less to worry about when clean up time comes around. Fling Bins encourages guests to separate items instead of combining the trash and recyclables. Your best summer option is Flings Pop-Up Trash and Recycling Bins. The attractive BBQ and Recycling designs are great for your outdoor get-together!

This was not a paid post. My own opinions were used based on my perceptions and experience. Thank you to Fling Bins who provided products for review & giveaway.
it is always a good idea to get event planners when you want a good outcome for your planned event ,;.
Make most of the food a day in advance so you;re not rushed the day of the event.

My best party tip is to OVER Plan – that way if something doesn’t work out or take as long as you think it will, you have more activities to keep things going.

Whenever we have a party we have several trash cans labeled for glass, plastic, etc. It helps some.

I like to always make sure I pick food that can be made in advance and heated up or is quick and easy to prepare on the grill, no spending the whole party in the kitchen!

My party tip is to keep the garbage and recycle bins close and very clearly labeled, preferably in totally different colors.
Yes, Wehaf, that is ALWAYS a problem with napkins and outdoor picnics! Good tip.
My best tip is to provide napkins in a weighted napkin holder so they don’t fly away!

If your party has favors, always get the same types for all the kids. No one feels bad and there’s no fighting.

I love the tip to cover the skewer ends with foil to prevent charring
Great tips on website……these would be perfect for tailgaters; paired w/kabobs (make sure and soak skewers in water b4 use) and cold drinks. : ) fun times and easy clean up.
