Step 1
Plan in advance. Proper planning is the key to executing plans perfectly. First, think about how many people you're planning to host. Planning a barbecue party for five friends is different from inviting your whole clan for a feast. Be reasonable and practical-- think of how much space you have, how much food you want to serve.

Step 2
Decide on the venue and pick a theme. It doesn't have to be extravagant, you can have a fun time out in the backyard. Picking a theme will make the party more interesting, and will serve as a unifying factor that will bring everything together.

Step 3
Buy wholesale barbecue. You can buy the meat at stores such as Costco or Sam's Club, which sell meat at wholesale amount. These stores also feature a lot of pre-seasoned, ready-to-cook meat, which you can opt for. Choose the type of cut, ribs and amount of ribs you want.

Step 4
Delegate roles. Ask for the help of your family and friends to help you plan for the barbecue. You may assign someone to be in charge of mixing the drinks, and someone to look after side dishes. Teamwork is key to planning everything well.
-
Step 5
Invite the guests to bring a meal to share as a potluck. This is a small effort on the part of each guest which adds up to more food for the group. It will also make it easy on you since you so you can focus on cooking your barbecue.

Step 6
Send out the invitation. Make your barbecue spectacular in all aspects, not just the food. Handing out invitations will convey that your party is well-planned out, and it's always a treat for the guests to know they are invited.
