We Canadians love having friends and family over to BBQ and entertain. There are few things better than eating al fresco with your loved ones, but you have to get it right. That’s why BelleMaison has put together a few suggestions on how to make your summer parties go off with a bang.
First things first: the barbeque. Your outdoor cooking apparatus has to be functional and built to last, with enough surface area to make it work for large groups. This Weber Original Kettle 22’’ Charcoal Grill has all the bases covered. Big enough for a crowd, the Weber is sturdy and well-built. It’s easy to clean, too – which means less time clearing up, and more time socializing.
For party food for everyone, Save-On-Foods has home delivery and offers vegetable trays and party platters, as well as fish, meat and snacks. For a more upmarket event, SaskMade offers a number of gourmet options for when you need to impress.
You’ll also need a decent-sized cooler for beer and soda. A good budget option is this Igloo Marine Contour Cooler. With a 23L capacity, the Marine has special Ultratherm insulation, which will keep your drinks cold for hours.
When your guests need a place to sit, you’ll need some outdoor seating which won’t cost the earth. This Bradley Outdoor Patio Wood 5-piece Dining Set with Stacking Chairs looks super smart, at a fair price point.
Finally, you’ll want to keep your guests entertained with music. A good quality Bluetooth speaker is a sound investment. This durable JBL Flip 5 Waterproof Wireless Bluetooth Speakercomes highly rated and offers 12 hours of playtime, so you won’t need to worry about it running out of juice during your get-together.
We hope BelleMaison has given you a little inspiration for your next at-home social event. We have lots of useful information in our other blogs too – including a guide to Northeast Saskatoon, and how to schedule for moving day – why not check those out while you’re here?
