Re: Party for my DH!!! NEED IDEAS!!!

  • What does your DH like?  I'd start there.  August lends itself to things like pool parties, cookouts, etc, so that might be a good place to start.  Check with him on the kids thing and who to invite.  He might want an adults-only evening deal, maybe just family, maybe just friends. 
  • Invite his friends, co workers he really likes, family, neighbors...anyone HE would want there.  In August, I would do it outside if you have a yard.  Borrow or buy yard games: horseshoes, bocci ball, croquet, volleyball, etc. 

    My friends, family etc always get into a games tournament at these events. If your H is like this...make it the theme.  Pick teams, choose funny team names have some silly prizes for the winners-

    Food can be simple- if you want to BBQ do that, if not deli works, as does crockpots of meatballs, roast beef, various salads, and a cake. 

    The whole decor can be sports.

    Start with what HE likes though...and go from there.

  • Outdoor is a great idea!  For BBQ, kids like burgers and dogs and you can do something a little fancier like fish or steak or kabobs for adults if you want.  I had an outdoor part for my DH and we just got fried chicken from our grocery store.  I was super easy, you can pay for it when you order then have anyone pick it up for you.  Same goes with deli trays.

    This sounds like a lot of fun.  If your DH is into games, you could make it a big tournament of picnic games.  Have teams made up of kids and adults.  GL!

  • thank you for all the ideas... They were all alot of help I will definatly use them...The sports idea is awsome I didn't think about that at all...
