How often do the kids get to have a summer BBQ party all their own? Celebrations.com took our BBQ party invitation and went all-out creating an All Things BBQ themed party  just for kids, featuring kid-friendly food ideas, decorations and fun activities for a hot summer day.

They chose our All Things BBQ party invitation from one of our party invitations as their inspiration for the BBQ theme party because the playful graphics set a fun tone and the colors appeal to both boys and girls. While they kept the guest list to kids only, the invitation would be fantastic for any backyard BBQ.

A make-your own hamburger bar is the main attraction at this outdoor BBQ. Small barbecue themed bowls were filled with condiments so the kids could build their own burgers. Food portions were kept small for little hands. Serving sliders instead of man-sized burgers was perfect for smaller appetites and allowed the kids to create more than one if they liked. Watermelon slices and corn on the cob were served on skewers for easy grabbing.

Mason jars made fun lemonade glasses, and a portable grill was set on the table as a decorative centerpiece. It became the perfect serving tray for the dessert: burger cupcakes!
