Hot dogs, burgers, ribs OH MY! Father's Day is here and what better way to celebrate than an afternoon backyard barbeque with your family and friends. Everyone has their own spin on party hosting, but the key to a fun, successful Father's Day BBQ is to create a laid-back, entertaining environment for all your guests!

1.      First things first, lots of delicious food and a great grill…. and may I suggest a Weber grill!

A fun and easy way to ensure a variety of food options that everyone will love (even your picky eaters) is to have each guest bring their favorite BBQ side. A potluck style barbeque will take some of the pressure off you while adding a personal touch from each guest. This will allow you to focus on the grilling and the presentation.

2.      Go simple with the set-up and seating.

There is no need to stress over the small stuff when planning your Father's Day barbeque. You can effortlessly enhance your backyard with vibrant outdoor beanbags. Not only does adding outdoor beanbags create comfortable seating options, they will also add spice to any patio. Another way to easily add style to your yard while adding seating is to quickly inflate the cool and new Lamzac™ the Original. It is fun to watch, easy to do, and your guests will envy your trendiness. 

3.      Have a rocking playlist with a variety of tunes.

No party is complete without some awesome tunes! Make a playlist that sets the mood for a fun afternoon in the sun. Add a variety so that all your guests are entertained. And as the evening progresses, invite your guests to lounge in the shade or perhaps on a hammock. After all who doesn’t love swaying and sipping on their favorite drink with great friends?

4.      Pull out the games.

No matter how young or how old, everyone loves a friendly backyard game. From horseshoes to corn hole to bocce ball, you can set up a fun area to entertain your guests. For an even simpler assembly, throw down the outdoor Fatboy Picnic Lounge and put a fun twist on any classic board or card game. The oversized picnic blanket is comfy and big enough for everyone to sit and join in on the fun.

5.      Have fun and eat lots of dessert!

The most important part of hosting a Father's Day BBQ is to make sure you’re enjoying it too! Dad wants you to have a delightful time and will feed off your attitude, so make sure to have a good one. You worked hard to make this happen so enjoy it. Also, life is short; don’t forget to eat dessert!
