Answer 9

We mostly have them bring what ever they think to bring. you might want to suggest side salads like...pasta salad, fruit salad or macaroni salad or maybe a non-salad dish like cole slaw, cut veggies & dip,  baked beans or corn on the cob. Dessert type things like a layer cake, jello type dishes or even a plate of cookies or brownies are fast goers at our backyard gatherings.

Answer 10

Here are some food ideas then you need to make a list of what you want and check them off as people agree

Foods

Baked beans

slaw

a few salads such as green, pasta, cucumber and tomato, veggie, etc.  just watch the dressings.. oil n vinigar is best if in the salad but if on the side you can keep some others in an ice bucket

corn to grill

corn bread

fruit salad or plate

italian bread

chips

maybe plain foil wrapped potatoes for those who don't like mayo

pies

brownies

pound cake

and of course... byob on the beer and hard liquer, water, pop

you may want to pick a friend who is really into music to be in charge of that part.

good luck!

Answer 11

Corn on the cob, deviled eggs, baked beans, condiments.

Answer 12

Beer and ICE. You always need more ice.

Answer 13

salsa or guacamole & chips .... Veggie/dip platters .... green salad ... fruit salad ...  DESSERTS

Answer 14

Don't give them specifics, just say you'd like either a dessert or a side dish. People will come up with ideas on their own, like cole slaw, rice, pasta salad, etc. That way it's not too much of a burden because they can pick their own recipe, etc. Also, people will probably bring things like more wine, or beer if they want it.

Answer 15

Why not have a contest - since you're having some "adult" beverages - tell them to bring all the ingredients for their favorite drink and then you'll have a "Best BBQ Brew" contest.

As far as food - divide your people into 3 groups - have one group bring a hot side ( baked beans, casserole, cheesy potatoes, etc.. ) have one group bring cold side ( potato salad, vegi trays, fresh fruit, etc..) and have one group bring desserts.

I love havin BBQ's like this - have a great time.

Answer 16

casserole, salad, coleslaw, brownies, dessert. soda, appetizers, family favorites, finger foods, chicken wings

Answer 17

Beer. Liquor. Chips. Dip. Guacamole.

The jello shots may run out, =)

Everyone may not like the sour taste of wine.

But everyone is going to want to catch a nice buzz.  =)
