Get ready to gather your crew and fire up those grills, because Labor Day is just around the corner! As you begin gearing up for the long weekend, we’ve got everything you need to throw the ultimate Labor Day BBQ Bash and send off summer in style. 

Get ahead of the game. Grilling is an art, but it doesn’t have to be a time drain. Set yourself up for success by prepping your grill beforehand to ensure you’ll get to spend plenty of time with your guests. By cleaning the grill, preparing your sides and marinating your meat the night before, you’ll be ready to go by the time your guests start arriving! 

Create the perfect ambiance. Beat the Texas heat by setting up canopies and tents around your yard. Don’t skimp on the decorations, either — the more fun and festive, the better! Of course, you must also create the perfect playlist to keep the energy up. A great atmosphere is almost as essential as great BBQ! 

Offer a variety of sides. Make sure your BBQ spread has something for everyone. Serve up a feast of sides to cater to all taste buds and dietary needs, especially if young kids are in the mix. Pro tip: want stress-free sides that are guaranteed crowd-pleasers? Check out our catering options for sides like Mac & Cheese, Green Beans, Potato Salad and more. Your guests will be raving about them nonstop! 

Let the games begin! Fun games and activities, such as cornhole, spikeball and croquet are sure to delight parents and children alike. These outdoor classics keep guests entertained while adding a playful and competitive edge to your barbecue bash. Plus, they’re a great way for everyone to bond while enjoying the last long weekend of summer. 

Don’t forget dessert! No BBQ bash would be complete without a refreshing summer dessert. Whether you’re keeping it simple with ice cream or whipping up a delicious cobbler, a sweet treat is the perfect way to cap off the evening. If you don’t want to worry about fixing another dish, rumor has it that we cater a great Peach Cobbler and Banana Pudding here at Hutchins – we’ve got you covered! 

What are you waiting for? Call your friends and start planning your menu – this Labor Day will be one for the books!
