Backyard BBQ: 30th Birthday Bash

Welcome to our backyard BBQ!

We planned this party for Brandon, Heather's husband.  It was for his 30th birthday.

Originally, we planned for an outdoor birthday bash until the heat for the day hit record temps. 
We were thanking our lucky stars that we made the choice to bring the celebration inside because halfway through the party, they skies opened up and it poured rain. 
Unfortunately, we had to give up a few of our ideas, such as a s'more station, but everyone still had a great time. 

Here are plenty of pictures so you can see the details that Style Made Simple put together:

When guests arrived, they were greeted by a hay bail display filled to the brim with beverages.

If a bottled drink didn't quench the guest's thirst, we had other choices available.
If you haven't figured it out yet, we love the combination of a mason jar, vintage paper straw and a handmade tag.

We had lots of little details that added to backyard BBQ feel:

Utensils wrapped with an added tag
Potato salad filled these mini mason jars

 
Centerpieces arranged by us


 Then there was the food:
We had slow-smoked pulled pork 
(prepared by the birthday boy- see the picture above),
chips in handmade paper cones




 and a sweet shoppe stocked with homemade treats:


As the party came to a close, guest's were sent home with a mini homemade apple pie. 

 


 Here's a tip: 
Plan your party colors around the holiday that is near your event date.
This party was three weeks after the 4th of July, so we were able to find red, white and blue clearance with ease.

Have a wonderful day!
