7. Fun BBQ Tips

• Let your friends help! Let everyone bring one item. It’s simple and fun and makes it less costly for the host! To add an extra challenge, give everyone a different colour and they must only bring food that matches!
• Keep it fresh. Make rainbow fruit platters or fruit skewers using watermelon, strawberries, grapes and blueberries.
• Kid zone. Organise outdoor games for the kids to play during the day. Use a pop-up net for badminton, place skittles for bowling and hide water pistols around the garden!
• Laugh all night long. Download games onto your phone that the adults can play. A good one for groups is Photo Roulette, where random photos are picked from your camera roll, displayed to the group, and everyone has to decide who the photo belongs to!
  
  Make the most of the sun while it lasts. Eat, drink, play games and enjoy the company of those you love the most!
