BBQ: Simple styling

Still trying to settle back into life after vaca - and of course, still not fully unpacked! I am making my to do list for the backyard for the weekend so that we can be prepared to throw an end of summer BBQ or brunch. Are you throwing one?

Today's inspiration is for a simple styled BBQ/Cookout party. Don't forget about older, but still fresh!, Frosting for BBQs here (link)

Using neutral tones and block lettering, you can create a party that will be simple, chic and fit for both women and men!  Source

Use a lined wire basket to hold your plates.   Look around the house for boxes, bins and other baskets to help you serve, as well.  Source: Pottery Barn

Create simple utensil/napkin combos using brown bags! Use parchment to create little salt & pepper, too! Source

You could also add a dab of Frosting to your napkins with a custom sticker, iron on or stamp... simple doesn't have to mean plain! Source and tutorial
