Outdoor Celebration!


Have you been thinking about throwing a birthday party or wedding shower?

In the summer, people think “outdoors” for their events. They may not take the bad weather into consideration.  Rain, too much heat, wind, thunderstorms, etc. especially here in Florida. Mother Nature is so unpredictable. 

Here are some tips on planning an event outside….

o   Start out with a checklist of everything you will need. In my experience, the things people forget the most are charcoal and a lighter.
o   Pick an area everyone is familiar with so they can get there and prepare to give easy directions.
o   Make sure there is a place you can go if the weather turns bad, maybe a park with a clubhouse. 
o   If you bring your own tables and chairs, make sure they are weather proof or can be easily folded and moved indoors.
o   Make sure to check the weather before you start setting up.
o   Start the grill before your guests arrive. This way you won’t be fighting with the wind while your guests are starving.



I hope these tips were helpful. Let me know! Happy grilling!
