BBQ & cookout planning checklist

Cookouts look casual but fail without ice, serving utensils, and someone owning the grill timeline.

Checklist

  • RSVP with headcount and kids.
  • Assign grill master and backup.
  • List sides, buns, condiments, drinks, and ice separately.
  • Add non-food items: chairs, shade, trash bags, coolers.
  • Note allergy-friendly options.
  • Publish start time for food — not just “afternoon.”
