If you are hosting family and friends for a bbq this summer, here are some great tips for you.
These are our A, B, C's to keep your guests comfortable & clean:
a. Banish the bugs - 1 hour before guests arrive, light bug bomb and citronella candles. Set out individual bug spray wipes and/or spray for guests' convenient use.
b. It's a picnic, so while you're "roughing" it, offer your guests the opportunity to "wash up" with wipes and/or hand sanitizer - a must have at a picnic!
c. Give your guests a place to kick back: Provide plenty of clean and comfortable seating (chairs, blankets, benches, etc.)
Keep Waste to a Minimum:
a. Mark your beverages. Use ClinQ's , these clever peel off stickers adhere your to drink (whether it's a glass, bottle, disposable cup or plastic bottle). Each has a different symbol so you can identify your drink from the rest. This avoids waste as guests inevitably forget where they set their drink - all they have to do is remember their symbol.
b. Put out a recycling bin for empties.
c. Use renewable dinnerware or acrylic dishware and cloth napkins (for fun you can purchase flag bandannas and use them as napkins).
Keep it Cool & Wet:
a. Ice, Ice and more Ice: There's nothing worse than lukewarm or hot beverages on a hot day. Make sure you have more than enough ice to continually replenish the supply. General rule of thumb is 2 lbs. of ice per person.
b. Hydrate your guests: Have plenty of non alcoholic beverages on hand - make sure to consider all your guests: adults, children, elderly.
c. If your yard offers no shade, create some with a few umbrellas. You can also purchase a fan or two that mists while it cools - now that's cool!
