You may not know, but May is National Barbeque Month. Who doesn’t love the fragrance of lighter fluid, the smell of burning charcoal, the aroma of meat (or fish or veggies) charring on the grill? Especially after the dreary winter months and April’s showers. And the good news is…this is only the beginning of BBQ season.

It’s true – Americans find grilling a healthier option, not to mention preferred to restaurant dining, and it’s a whole lot of fun. It’s an opportunity to gather friends and family together to celebrate the great outdoors on beaches, in parks and in millions of backyards every summer. Even the Neanderthals loved to barbeque! And these days, finding finger lickin’ backyard barbeque recipes to try is a snap, whether you’re a BBQ newbie or a seasoned Pitmaster.

Throughout the summer, barbeque grills and smokers are fired up at pool parties, beach parties, picnics, backyard BBQs, family reunions, clambakes, birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, and anywhere folks gather outside to have a good time with good eats. Planning your party is half the fun. When you’ve picked out the goodies and stocked the cooler, choose one of our unique invitations at Greeting Card Universe to send your guests a smile.
