Decoration tips and important notes for the barbecue party

To make a barbecue party at home truly perfect and ensure no one wants to go home, here are a few nice ideas for table decorations for a barbecue party.

Barbecue party decoration: Mediterranean or traditional wine tavern flair?

Think about the setting you want for your barbecue party at the beginning. Are you in the mood for a traditional wine tavern evening with white wine spritzer and grilled sausages? Or would you like to whisk your guests away to the Mediterranean – with Mediterranean decoration and corresponding dishes. For a down-to-earth setting, for example, red and white checkered tablecloths*, napkins, and garlands are suitable. For a Mediterranean barbecue party, things can be a bit more refined: cloth napkins, lavender in clay pots (which also keeps annoying mosquitoes away), and lots of candles create a holiday flair.

Sitting or standing at the barbecue party?

To ensure everyone finds their place without any problems, why not cut out flowers from construction paper and write the names on them. Or you can create individual napkin rings using fabric stiffener and decorative ribbon.

Rustic

• a beer garden set offers seating for many guests and transforms into a beautiful table in no time

Comfortable seating

• buy beautiful covers for your chairs. Whether checkered or elegant solid-colored fabric, there are no limits to your imagination here

Standing party

• High tables covered with white fabric and gathered with a beautiful trim create a festive ambiance

Accessories for the barbecue party on the table

Place what your guests need for eating on the table:

• Spices
• plate
• Cutlery (in containers is very practical)
• Napkins
• Sauces
• Salad
• Bread

You should set up the grilled meat as a buffet near the grill so that your guests still have enough space at the table. This side table also becomes an eye-catcher with a vase containing a large-flowered sunflower. So that everyone knows what treats await them, simply design a few small flags from wooden skewers and construction paper. Simply write the name of the side dish or even the ingredients on them with felt-tip pens – just stick them into the dishes and grilled food.

The right barbecue lighting

To keep the table pleasantly bright and cozy even after dark, here are some tips:

• Fill some jam jars with colorful decorative sand and place tea lights inside.

• Or how about a shallow glass bowl filled with water, in which a few floating candles* and flower heads bob?

• If you have a small biotope or even a swimming pond of your own, solar balls, either solid-colored or with changing colors, look excellent there

• Why only put up outdoor fairy lights at Christmas? Attach the little lights wherever you like – in trees or bushes, on the fence, or with transparent tape along the edge of the table. The lighting also looks very beautiful in tall glass vases that also contain rattan balls in different colors.

Create a romantic scene with lanterns.

• E.g., with inexpensive Chinese paper lanterns*.
• With sturdy metal lanterns*, which can also be used in "stormier" weather.
• No wind? Simply stick large bamboo torches* into the ground along the terrace and the garden path.

With some of the decoration tips listed above, your barbecue evening will surely be an unforgettable experience. Not only for your family and friends, who will surely feel comfortable in such a beautiful environment, but also for you, because you can simply have a good time in a relaxed atmosphere.
