Since summer is almost (officially) here, I’ve been thinking a lot about summer BBQs. Maybe because I’m pregnant and think about food all. the. time. Or maybe it’s because we will be in FL this summer for a bit and I can’t wait to host a BBQ with our friends and family. As much as I don’t love the crazy hot summer weather, I do love what summer brings. Late nights outside, grilling out, weekends spent at the pool, popsicle filled afternoons and so much more. There are so many creative and fun recipes I’ve come across lately on Pinterest, I can’t wait to put some of them to the test.
Today, I’m sharing my summer BBQ essentials with you and linking up with The Good Life, Carolina Charm, A. Liz Adventures, and Hello Happiness for Five on Friday.
1. Corn Hole from All American Tailgate
No outdoor BBQ is complete without some fun and games.
Our game of choice when hosting BBQ’s is corn hole.
It’s fun, not too difficult and easy to bring anywhere.
2.Table Decor from Party City
I love the red and white gingham decorations for summer BBQ’s.
It’s classic, all American and can be easily found at stores.
3. Mason Jar Candles from Nest of Posies
I love these mason jars with lemon, lime and herbs.
Super easy to create but would be the perfect decor for an outdoor BBQ.
4. Caprese Salad on a Stick from Around My Family Table
The food is the most important part of a BBQ. Finger foods are always a must for me.
I love the idea of a hot dog station, smores bar…things guests can make themselves.
I also love to have the classic potato salad, beans, hamburgers and a dip or two on the table.
5. Bale Jar Drink Dispensers from Amazon
Love the design of these. When hosing an outdoor BBQ, it’s important to have drinks with lids to keep the bugs away. If you have three you can easily do a sangria for the adults, a punch for the kids and a flavored water for everyone to enjoy.

I can't wait to start BBQing! We have our USF corn hole game all ready.
Cornhole is a MUST for us in the summer. We love it!
