4th of July Kabob Party

With the arrival of summer comes the arrival of people grilling. A great idea for grilling is to have a “Make-Your-Own Kabob Party”.

Invitations-

Use the BestPartyEver.com directory to find invitation businesses in your area. Also, Evite sends electronic invitations through the internet and is very easy to use. Send out your invitations at least a month to a month and a half before the big day. If it’s a last minute invitation a phone call would be appropriate.

Food-

Prepare and refrigerate skewer sized meat and vegetables. Some meat and vegetables may include chicken, steak, onions, green peppers, red peppers, yellow peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, and zucchini. Marinades add a little extra flavor to the kabob and can be found at your local grocery store. Some side dishes to consider are fruit kabobs, rolls, potato salad, or pasta salad. For dessert, I would recommend the “Flag Cake” with real whipped cream. If you need tables, chairs, or a margarita machine check out the BestPartyEver.com directory for party rental stores.

Drinks-

Juice Boxes, Ice Tea, Punch, Frozen Daquiries, Bahama Mamas.

Activities-

* Create Kabobs
* hire a local clown
* rent a bouncer
* watch fireworks
* If you have a swimming pool, you may want to tell guests to bring their swim suits.

Decorations-

Use the BestPartyEver.com directory to find party supply stores in your area. Some general decorations would include red, white and blue balloons, paper cups, plates, table clothes, streamers, etc…

To spice up the party consider hiring a DJ, commissioning a ice sculpture, arranging private fireworks, and inviting the neighbors.
