[quote=Anonymous]We pickup a bottle of that yard spray for the bugs at Home Depot and spray the yard a few days before a get together. If your yard is small, as if your neighbors mind you spraying them as well. I do it in the AM before work so no one is bothered by needing to keep off the yard for a bit. If that doesn't work for you - just have a bottle of bug spray (with Deet!) handy. Remember to put a trashcan outside if doing paper (my vote). I also prefer to have the drinks in a cooler outside rather than needing to go into the fridge. Do one thing that's special - be it flowers, a really good homemade marinade for the chicken, a special drink, or a special appetizer. As long as I do one thing out of the norm - it feels like a party to me. I also try do do as much advanced prep and minimize the effort at the party so I can enjoy myself and be ready to take care of the little things. Grilling is great because it doesn't take you away from the party. You'll do great![/quote]
