Party Planning 101 - Fancy Ideas for your BBQ.

As summer is quickly apporaching (and since it's going to be above 80 this weekend in Chicago), I thought it appropriate to share some cute ideas for fancy'ing up a BBQ this week!

Included below are some of my favorite ideas from Pinterest - any one of these could turn your average back-yard bash into a memorable Memorial Day affair. Happy (and safe) Grilling!



I love the idea of adding fresh flowers and using old wooden boxes to dress up a folding table!




Turning your serving area into a build-your-own bar is a fun way to deviate from the traditional buffet.




This is a great way to keep your flatware organized and festive!




Who doesn't love a fresh heirloom tomato salad?

Patriotic Chocolate Strawberries - how cute!





I couldn't resist these - you can even use store-bought cupcakes to create these little edible 'grills'.




And, finally - no BBQ is complete without corn on the cob. I like mine with mayo, cayenne and lime juice!
