It will be my first bbq on Sunday too in our new house as well. I am just making sure I got lots of food. [ Reply | More

Lots of cups, ice, napkins and wipes for the spills. Be vigilant about whisking away half empty cups/plates and keeping serving dishes full. [ Reply | More

Lots of cold beer and soda, great food, and fun music! Hook up the ipod with a really fun playlist, and relax, people love going to BBQ's, they are always fun! [ Reply | More

Frankly I hate when the hostess "relaxes" at her party. It is hard work. The hostess should be working hard - flame all you like but making it a good party means working the room and helping with socializing plus keeping the place relatively clean, kids amused and food excellent. [ Reply | More

a hostess also doesn't have to bust her ass at her own party. there's nothing worse than a stressed out hostess who is running around like a chicken with its head cut off. it doesn't make for a pleasant atmosphere. [ Reply | More

what is the point of having a party if you have to work the whole time? we invite people who feel comfortable helping themselves and don't mind if the place is a bit messy by the end of the party. we work hard to clean up and get the food together. but once everyone arrives, we offer drinks, and then spend time with our friends.

Don't take away half empty cups if people are still drinking from them. That's annoying [ Reply | More
