Let’s face it: Long weekends are fun, but making every second count can be exhausting! Take some of the work off your plate (literally) by setting up this handful of do-it-yourself, serve-yourself stations. Guests can mix and match toppings and ingredients to create their perfect meals while you stand back and relax. Cheers to that!
Epic Burger Bar
Gone are the days of boring, one-topping burgers. This incredible burger spread from Get on My Plate offers guests options ranging from tangy feta cheese to homemade “burger sauce” and beyond!
DIY Ice Cream Sundae Bar
An all-out sundae bar is one of our favorite ways to serve dessert in the summer. Step up the game with three Goodtaste original homemade toppings that’ll have your guests licking their spoons, and lay out your most festive glassware and ice cream scoops for a pretty display.
Ultimate DIY Hot Dog Bar
Believe it or not, this entire spread from Shared Appetite comes together in less than 30 minutes! Hot dogs grill up in a flash, so use your extra time to put together a rainbow spread of toppings that check all the boxes: fresh, pickled, crunchy, sweet, salty, creamy, and savory.
Nacho Bar
The great thing about a nacho bar is that most of the toppings can be prepped a day in advance. Take inspiration from Casual Epicure’s colorful spread and make your guac and queso the day you’re hosting.
Party Drink Station
Pottery Barn is an authority on hosting excellent soirees, so take advantage of its tips for creating a party drink station that will keep guests satiated all day long. We love the idea of leaving space on your drink table for generous guests to add their own contributions of mixers, spirits, and knickknacks!
