Changed Plans-Doing a Hawaiian Theme BBQ for BP :-))…

First off FH and I have never ‘thrown’ any type of party. We don’t live together, but we want to have a GTG for the BP at my house. So if there are any ‘etiquette’ things we should know, please share! What to do and what NOT to do suggestions are helpful.
What should we have besides hamburgers and hotdogs, beer, and this is where I get stuck. Should we place the beer somewhere where accessible-cooler, garage fridge. Sorry if that question sounded stupid but we want to do this ourselves without my parents help.

Any ideas on how to introduce the BP to each other? I was thinking of putting name tags on each person that comes. A few of the BP members didn’t meet at the e-party. There won’t be many. I think the total is about 20-25 people plus kids.
Thanks!

We have changed plans. When don't we do this?? LOL
We are going to have a Hawaiian theme BBQ. Since we are going to HI for our HM, it fit perfectly. We are putting it off for a bit to prepare and get everything together.
Thank You all for your suggestions!!

cw0904-You have to find a recipe for Hawaiian Chicken. So yummy!

Sounds like a really cute idea, You can 'lay' everyone who comes... They sell them at Party City.

This post is just to funny, because just the other day...FH and I are having the same exact BBQ. We sent out invites that said 'Hawaiian Shirts Required', because it is a BBQ with the Hawaiian Theme'. Fh then said to me 'It is as if we are having 'another' BP GTG, because it is all the same people that were invited to our E-party'. I said, 'no' I just want to have a BBQ with Friends and most of our BP is our friends. So with that said, I will share with you what we are doing...

Menu: For starters some chips & dip and Veggie tray. Dinner will be Hamburgers, Hot dogs (will all the trimmings), & grilled chicken with BBQ sauce. Home made salads - potatoe and claw slaw. Corn on the cob from a local LI farm (yummy). Baked beans which are really easy to make. FH if you want recipe. I am getting most of all this food from Costco (bulk & cheap). Then we will have a bar with beer, Mike's, wine coolers, and soda. I have very large coolers, so it will be stored in there for easy access for the guest. Desert will be a nice big fruit salad and this great blueberry crumb cake that I make. Some of our friends even offered to cook some things, so I just told them feel free to bring whatever you like. We have a pool as well, so I am sure at the end of the night when everyone has had a few in them, we will start jumping in the pool. Oh, also... for the invites- I got these really really cool ones from Party supply place (they can be found at Party City) that are made by 'Razzle Invites' and they say 'It's a BBQ' and on the front is has this BBQ with confetti in it of little hotdogs and burgers... Very cute!
So I hope this was some help. Again, that is just to funny that we had the same idea. Have a great day!
