Don't let Summer’s End Signal a Stop to your Backyard Barbecues

Does the end of summer mean that your barbecuing days are over? While it’s true that summer is prime BBQ season, fall also has many charms. For one thing, the weather is cooler, and the bugs are beginning to retreat. With school back in session and many other activities in full swing, a fall barbecue gives people a chance to gather and have fun before winter weather makes outside get-togethers impractical. How do you throw the best autumn barbecue?


· Make it cozy. It’s important to make sure your guests are comfortable, so have plenty of seating available. Folding chairs and lawn furniture are ok, but some well-placed couches can take the cozy-factor to the next level. If the weather is going to be cool, consider some patio heaters to make sure your guests stay snug and warm.

· Stoke up a fire. Patio heaters can keep you warm, but there’s nothing quite like the glow of a fire to create a festive mood. If you’ve got the room for a bonfire, you’ll find it sets the perfect tone for conversation, playing guitars, roasting s’mores, and just conversing as it crackles. If your space is a little more modest, a fire pit or another, similar fire fixture is a great alternative.

· Serve amazing food. Of course, you’ll choose the perfect recipes for barbecue and the accompanying scrumptious sides. However, there are a few things you can do to make it more memorable. Especially if you’re feeding a lot of people, consider renting a barbecue that’s larger than the one you own. You might also want to have concessions available to your guests, like popcorn or cotton candy. Want to make it a little more upscale? Rent a bar and play bartender for your guests.

· Dress your backyard for the occasion. Decorate your back yard with paper lanterns, twinkling lights, and anything else you can think of to set a party mood. To make a more elegant atmosphere, consider renting table linens, dishes, and flatware. There are plenty of options available that are fun and not stuffy, so it’s easy to create table settings that work for your party and match your sensibilities.
