Backyard BBQ Party Printables
These backyard barbecue printables and party ideas will inspire you all summer long. The red, white and blue design is perfect for Memorial day, 4th of July, and Labor day.
Get inspiration for displaying food on a cookout buffet table, plus more table decoration tips to help you throw the best backyard bbq party.
Welcome Table
Set up a welcome table near the entrance of the party space. When you’re outside and have wide open space it can help define the area.
Bring an indoor table outside and place the framed printable sign on it.
Make snack cones and fill them with red and blue potato chips to match the theme. Guests can grab a cone and walk around the party freely.
PARTY TIP: Use an old soda crate to display the snack cones. Find vintage crates at antique or thrift stores.
Use outdoor game paraphernalia as part of the décor. Place a couple of croquet balls in a wire basket.
Speaking of games, our favorite thing to do is play bocce ball or corn hole. You don’t need a lot of space for these, nor will you exert yourself too much while playing.
Summer Party Buffet
Incorporate some of these ideas into your food buffet. Serve a classic menu of burgers but instead of making them full size, grill them as small sliders. I usually fill up my plate with summer side dishes, and a full size burger can sometimes be too much.
Plus you could have different burger recipes like my Asian style burger, and sundried tomato burger alongside the best juicy burger recipe.
Use the downloadable tent cards to let guests know what they’re eating.
Transfer sauces into pretty containers. If there’s one thing you can do to elevate the design of a party, it’s serving your condiments in a lovely container.
Serve baked beans in small canning jars. They’re the perfect single serving size and guests can just grab and go. No messy drips while spooning from bowl to plate.
Add the printable circles on top of the jar lids for festive display decoration. Each circle has fun bbq themed words.
Use 8-ounce canning jars to serve drinks in. It’s and inexpensive idea and works great with an iced tea bar, a lemonade bar, punch, even beer.
Tie a tag on each jar so your guests can write their name on it and keep up with their beverage.
Easy Table Setting
The dinner table is set rather simply, but the layering makes it more interesting to look at.
- Turn wooden planter boxes upside down to act as a base for flower arrangements.
- Upcycle aluminum cans by washing them and using them as rustic flower vases.
- Tie coordinating fabric around the can to instantly dress them up for any occasion.
- Create place settings with red and blue dishes. Use melamine for non-breakable option outside.
- Add whimsical table decorations like a vintage-style wood & peg puzzle and a dish filled with retro-style bubble gum.

Diane @ Longaberger Lifestyle says
Everything is so fun with table games and great color!
But, I fell in love with the mini Mason Jars of Baked Beans and the cute labels. That take it over the top.
Wondering if there is anything to do to keep them warm?
Chris says
Thank you Diane,
Hmm, we always eat baked beans at room temperature, but maybe you could cover them with a hot soaked towel, or sit them in a shallow pan of hot water?
Enchanted Expectations says
Love the baked beans in a jar. Did my invitation get lost in the mail again? This was so fabulous!
Natasha @ Fête Fanatic says
I need to set up my studio with patriotic flair, but feel so lazy!This is definitely inspiring! I love the potato salad in the planter urn! Ok, now for the desert table!

At first glance I thought the gum were hand wipes in the sink container which would be great especially for a BBQ!
Brittany @GreyGreyDesigns says
