Also, I'm thinking about doing a "House Tour" on my blog. Show you virtually (whomever my readers are) what we've done, what I want to do next, ask for advice on some ideas, etc. Would you be interested in that? It would take a bit of work on my end, but I think it'd be fun! Leave me a comment!

| The invites were postcard size and were designed by Pam at my in-laws print shop, the always friendly Sun Graphics! |
 |
| I found free BBQ themed printables here. So easy, so cute. |
 |
| I have a set of a dozen of these place card holders... they are very versatile, inexpensive and come in handy for parties of all shapes and sizes! |
 |
| The red and white gingham placemats are from Sur La Table. |
 |
| I wrapped the silverware in cute little napkins and raffia. The flowers from our local farmers market were displayed in mason jars. |
 |
| I kept the menu pretty simple and "down home".... Scroll down to see the details! I didn't ask anyone to bring anything (except my mom and mother-in-law... love them!), so it had to be doable. |
