Must Haves For An Amazing Spring BBQ

Warm weather brings the prospect of family and friends hanging together in the backyard. Amidst the chatter and laughter is the aroma from the barbecue grill and the free-flowing drinks. Spring barbecues are among the best moments you can ever have as a family. The company is always great, and you could also have some background music as an accompaniment. Better yet, the noise from kids playing is sufficient proof of joy in the air.

A flashback to the previous year and you recall what a wonderful time you had. This time around, you have planned for a spring BBQ, one that will linger in memory for months to come. If that is your dream, there are party items you must have ready.

Cookware

A barbeque cannot come through without a grill or stove. Having bid farewell to the cold winter, preparing an outdoor snack is the in thing. You need a place to light a fire and a variety of meats to throw on it. Choose a grill that comes with an arsenal of grill grates to protect the meat from the coal embers. They also prevent the veggies from falling into the fire.

Charcoal

Gas grills heat up quickly and evenly cook your meat and veggies. However, charcoal-grilled beef or mutton has a distinct taste. It makes the pieces a little smoky and fires up the flavor to levels you never thought of. Try some charcoal this time around and bring variety to your BBQ this spring.

Grilling gloves

Considering the amount of heat generated, you cannot pretend to be a tough guy and handle hot meat with bare hands. Occasionally, a piece of meat will fall on the grate. As you instinctively reach for it, you risk burning your fingers. Gloves protect your hands and arms from heat. They also make it easy to grasp the hot meat and turn it over.

Some beer and wine

Barbecue parties cannot go down well without a drink. Religious affiliations aside, some of your guests could be beer drinkers. You could either opt for summer ale or light beers, but one option is most ideal. To spice things up, stock them in an ice bucket to keep the drinks chilled against the backdrop of warm weather. Moderate drinkers will appreciate some wine too. Have a few bottles in stock.

Lighting

Spring parties tend to get better when the sun sets. As cooking progresses, you need some light especially near the grilling and the seating areas. Festive lighting, the same one you use during summer, helps set the mood. Moreover, it brings a transition in people’s minds that evening has come.

Final word

Springtime comes with a warm relief and opportunity to spend time outdoors. With a barbeque in the offing, check that your cookware is in working condition. Buy some charcoal and ensure that you have gloves for handling the heat. Throw some beers and a bottle of wine as you light up the area with festive lighting. Go on; enjoy your spring backyard BBQ.

Throwing the Ultimate Block Party

It’s that time of year again in South Florida where everyone is starting to plan their fall and winter parties. More parties happen this time of year since our weather has become cooler and not as humid. One party that everyone looks forward to annually is their neighborhood block party. If you’ve been selected or have volunteered to be on the planning board, then we’ve got some helpful tips for you that will make your block party into a ‘Block-Buster Party’!!! Read on!

  •  Meet with the neighbors
  • Get a permit from the city or township
  •  Book Inflatable Rentals
  •  Plan food and activities
  •  Send invitations to the neighbors
  •  Create a Map showing who is participating and what each neighbor is hosting

Meeting with the neighbors as a planning committee is imperative to the success of your party. Select someone as the chairman and then have everyone assigned tasks. The chairman should be coordinated with everyone and be there in case the ball gets dropped.

Next, you’ll need to get a permit for your party. This is especially true when you’re blocking off streets. This is another important step to planning a great party that won’t get shut down by the feds later.

Contact South Florida Bounce for your rentals such as bounce houses or water slides. The sooner the reservation is made, you’ll be ensured on us being present for your party.

Now that you’ve got the most important steps out of the way, plan food and activities. If you’re having games such as balloon toss or a face painting station, make the correct arrangements and include the activities and times on your map. Food is another thing that will need some attention to detail. Keep it simple, unless you’re looking to impress the Joneses.

Send out invitations including the map made that shows all the neighbors who are participating, the activities and food and the times.

You can create really cool maps to include in your invitation. Use Google Maps or Google Earth Pro (now free) to create a template of the neighborhood. Google Earth allows you to add graphics that will make it exciting. Nonetheless, you want to have a visual so people will get excited.

Now that we’ve given you the tools to keep you organized, there’s only one thing left to do. Go have fun at your neighborhood block party!
