How to Throw a BBQ Party


Clean your grill. If you don't have a grill, purchase or borrow one. Make sure that you have charcoal or gas for the grill.
Gather tables and comfy chairs with cushions. You can always cover an ugly table with a decorative tablecloth.
Decide who you want to invite and send them BBQ themed invitations.
Clean off your deck or patio and mow the grass. Guests will feel more comfortable in a clutter-free environment.
Stock up on food for the party. The following are popular BBQ party foods and condiments: BBQ sauces, salads, vegetables, burgers, chicken, hot dogs, kabobs, coleslaw, buns, potato salad, baked beans, ice cream, watermelon, beer, iced tea, lemonade, water and soda. Also, don't forget the ice.

How to Host a Euchre Party


Plan on 12 total people to play in the euchre party. They must all be present for this type of tournament to work.
Set up the card tables and chairs so there is enough room for everyone to sit comfortably. Place a deck of euchre cards on each table.
Hand everyone a scoring notepad once they pay their fee to play, if you are playing for money and not just bragging rights. A typical euchre party buy-in is $10 per person. This is the money that will be used for prize money. It equals $120 and you can divide that up into prizes however you see fit. Usually that is $70 for first place, $30 for second and $20 for third.
Explain that you will be following the regular euchre rules of play, with one exception. Each table will have total of 12 rounds dealt, with each player dealing three times. At the end of the 12 rounds, each player will record his score -- how many tricks his team has taken -- on the notepad.
At the end of the first game, have your guests switch partners with the people at their table. Play again as stated, recording the scores as before. Continue to play, record and switch until every player has been a partner with every attendee. Have each player then add his or her scores up on the notepad and determine a first, second and third place winner.

How to Set Up a Cribbage Tournament (4 Steps)


Collect an entry fee, which will cover the prize for the first and second place winners. The entry fee amount will depend on the size of the prizes to be awarded. Set up the tables with a cribbage board and a deck of cards on each table.
Sign up two players to a team. Cribbage tournaments can be set up using five to ten tables. There should be at least ten teams and up to twenty teams of two players to play a cribbage tournament. Make a chart with all the team names. The first two teams will play each other. The third and forth team will play each other and so forth down the line.
Match up the winning teams to play the second round. Finishing teams will move onto the second round if they win the game. The losing team is eliminated from the tournament. Finishing teams from the second round that win will be scheduled to play the third round of cribbage. The losing team is eliminated from the tournament. The third round will start with the winners left from the second round matching up with another winning team. .
Continue playing and eliminating teams until there are only two teams remaining. Depending on the amount of teams that are signed up, this could take about three to four hours. The last two teams will match off against each other. The winner will be the tournament winner.
