Setting up the Backyard

Because I plan on doing this all summer long, I wanted materials that I could use over and over again. For the backyard table, I bought these cute red striped cloth napkins.

How to Mix up Your S'more

Besides the obvious s’mores ingredients of graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows, think about new and unusual twists to add to your s’mores. Here are some ways to mix things up:

Tip: Create Individual S'mores Kits for Kids!

How to Toast S'mores Without a Fire Pit: Terra Cotta S'more Pots!

My last hurdle was deciding how to toast our s’mores. If you have a backyard fire pit, then I’m totally jealous of you, and that’s the way you should go! I don’t have a fire pit, so I wanted a safe alternative for my kids.

The Day Before

The beauty of this party is that there was almost nothing done ahead. My sister Susanna, who got the craftster genes in the family (I have none), did have the hankering for a few projects, so the week before the party she made two sets of pretty decorations.

Painted Jars

She used coral-colored paint to color the insides of some old jars. She found the tutorial on Apartment Therapy. We used them to hold flowers.

Garland

She also made some garland out of card stock, folding each square over twine to make pennants.

The Day of the Party

We had three major things to do on the day of the party: grocery shop, set up and decorate the backyard, and set up the food.

Grocery Shopping

Never underestimate grocery shopping for a crowd! Although we were only shopping for s’more ingredients and flowers, we ended up going to three stores to find all the chocolate we wanted, and it took three hours instead of the allotted two. In hindsight, I wish I would have shopped the day before.

Setting Up the Backyard

The week of the party my sister’s roommates mowed the lawn and cleaned up the dog, ahem, leavings. So the yard was neat and ready for us.

The Food

It was a lot of fun to think up creative s’more combinations ( see the 12 most popular here) and new things to try in this classic treat. Here’s a quick overview of some of the things that went on the table.

Is It Safe To Grill Under A Carport?

A metal carport is very similar to a patio/awning setup, so the same rules apply here.
