Rainy Day BBQ Parties

The date is set for your outdoor BBQ party. The food is bought, the drinks are chilling and the guests are on the way. There's just one big problem ... its been raining cats and dogs for a week!

Luckily, there's no need to cancel your get together just because of a few "spots" of rain. You can still cook great, Hickory flavored BBQ food on an indoor grill or cover your outdoor grill with a canopy whilst your chef cooks and keeps dry at the same time.

If you don't have room indoors, move the fun outside under the cover of a party gazebo with plenty of room for Aunt Hilda to boogie her burgers away to the sounds of summer on a karaoke machine. A few summer party decorations will bring the sunshine inside too, so you can still have all the fun of a BBQ party, in the rain!

Yes but what about the trade mark flavor of BBQ grilled food if we cook on an indoor grill? If you love the smoked BBQ or Hickory flavors on your steaks, there is no need to go without just because you've moved your cooking indoors. There are some great recipes that will make sure you can still enjoy the BBQ taste, wherever you choose to create your BBQ culinary delights.

Not tempted by the thought of taking your cooking inside? Ok, there are a few solutions that will help you brave the rain and keep those coals hot! BBQ gazebos, canopies and umbrellas will keep the showers off your outdoor grill and keep you dry too. So the cooking show can still go on, even when it pours down. By the way, they are also great as sun shades, IF you happen to get a freak summers day....

No room in the house to move the party inside? These party marquees offer a great alternative to braving the rain under brollies and raincoats. There’s no fun in standing around on a patio yard, nibbling a soggy hotdog and socialising under an overgrown garden shrub. These supersized gazebos have plenty of room inside for tables and chairs so that guests can keep dry and party away into the night. They look great too and when the party is over, they can be packed away until the next big bash!

Even under the shelter of a party gazebo or garage it can still get a little chilly on a dull day. This selection of patio heaters will make sure your guests keep snug whilst they enjoy your BBQ food. Ditch the fleecy jumpers and snuggle up under the heater instead!

Why miss out on sunshine and flowers when you have to move the party indoors? Make your indoor venue shine with some tropical decorations to create a sunny summer atmosphere to kick off the BBQ party mood. There are many summer party themes available, from beach party to Hawaiian tropics, all are ideal to add a fun theme on a cloudy day. So drape those walls, doors and windows and decorate the tables with some of these great indoor party decorations!

So what shall we do now that the burgers have been scoffed and the socialising is starting to dwindle? Karaoke is the ultimate in indoor party entertainment! Plug in the Karaoke machine, put on a great Summer party CD, grab the mic and let the kids, aunties and grandpas sing the summer home!

The first video is hilarious! Don't let the rain spoil your day, let the party go on!
