I’ve teamed up with some outstanding food and party bloggers to bring you 10 easy serve food for outdoor parties at the park! Remember, the key to simple outdoor party hosting is low-key everything! We have included ideas for sandwiches at the park, dips to take to an outdoor party, finger foods, and ideas for how to cook hot dogs for a crowd.
I would say most organized gatherings involve an expectation of food these days. If nothing else, packaged snacks and bottled waters are nice to serve even at the most casual of events. Hosted parties usually supply prepared food, as well. Some of these parties include:
Keep in mind that you will need to consider whether or not you will have access to electrical outlets at your party at the park. If you do, you are golden! If not, you still have the option to prepare the slow cooker items at home and then transport them warm. As long as your group will eat on the front end of the party and you keep the slow cooker closed up tight, the food will stay warm for a little while. But you really need to consider your timing.
If you are transporting things in a slow cooker, you need to make sure you have a slow cooker with a locking lid to avoid car spills. This particular one comes with excellent ratings and is available in a 6-quart and a 10-quart.
Years ago, after losing several of my nice spatulas and serving spoons at work potlucks, I realized the beauty of inexpensive disposable serving utensils. In fact, I wound keeping a set of these in my classroom so I was also prepared for potlucks, after school baby showers, etc. Likewise, for wedding gifts, we received multiple heavy white serving platters – really nice ones. Unfortunately, I soon realized the inconvenience of trying to haul those back and forth to work parties, outdoor parties, and parties at friends’ homes. Once I discovered white plastic serving trays, I haven’t looked back. This set includes disposable trays and serving utensils.
Of course, one can stress enough the importance of keeping spoil-prone foods chilled when hosting outdoor parties. Party dips and dishes made with cream cheese, sour cream, cheeses, etc are safest when kept chilled at outdoor parties. We have a set of these inflatable serving bar coolers. You just blow them up and fill them with ice. They are designed to set on tables or any other flat surface. They can even float on a calm pool water surface.
For drinks, a lot of people swear by their YETI coolers and other expensive coolers. We have always been happy with our less expensive Coleman cooler on wheels. It is sturdy and has survived many adventures.
Where the food is, the flies and gnats will come. You can keep them off of your party dishes with mesh food tents.
