Ooooooh Joyous...what you done? The last barbie I had I did the chicken in the oven,,,,was a red hot day and I seemed to spend most of my time in the kitchen sweltering :o( The best idea on here is the bring your own disposable barbies and meat...you do the salads. Everyone had to dress up as a pop star at mine...we had 3 Elvis's, a Madonna, a Dolly Parton, Marilyn Manson, Shirley Bassey, John Lennon, Avril Laverne, Ozzie and Kelly Osborne, I was Missy Elliot (but some bright spark said I looked more like Nadia from big brother!) Have Fun..and Dont work too hard! K xx Oh nearly forgot...had a couple of grannys dressed as worzels ..pmsl

My daughter always does a summer birthday's BBQ (more than one in the same week have birthdays). She makes a huge Lasagne, french bread, salad and a rice dish and these ALWAYS go before the BBQ food which leaves her more time to enjoy the fun!! Oh, and instead of jacket potatoes a big bowl of hot new potates. Linda x

my son will be 17 in a couple of weeks and has suggested a BBQ. Seeing as we have never had one I was not overjoyed. Glad I didnt agree cos I couldnt cope with 56.......... Good luck cos I think you are going to need it lol

A good healthy way to fill youngsters up so they don't get too drunk, is to do lots of pasta, preferably wholemeal as more filling, and you could use the tricolour one too, drain and add fried chopped onions and peppers, (buy these from Iceland)cooked frozen peas and sweetcorn too if you like and have time. You can do those earlier on and leave out covered with clingfilm. Have a great time. Liz

well they'll soon get sick of me chocolate bananas and will come back to yours for the proper food, that was so lovingly made from scratch !!! you must have a big garden if you can fit 56 + your family in !!! oh and did you know its forecast rain that night, pmsl

GOOD IDEA LESLEY,XX ANN THEY KNOW WHAT ME COLESLAW TASTES LIKE,[SORRY SHOUTING] oh and jacket potatos.lol. his girlfriend and othersons girlfriend have just said ,....ahhhhh dont worry mum,we,ll pull together.........phew jane ,i will send um to your house,and say auntie jane so wanted to do a BBQ for you....sniggersxxxxxxxxxxx

ROFPMSL What have you let yourself in for hun???? Do you need a hand? oh no i'm sorry i have plans for that night........ whichever night it is, lol you'll have more 21yr olds in your garden than will be in the pubs !!! and and your oh tells me, not only do they want your marinade & homemade coleslaw, they want homemade burgers, and oviously a shop bought birthday cake won't do........... get you apron on hun !!!!! you'll have to do my speciality too.................. chocolate bananas !!! Jx

I would think you need help with the food, 56 is a lot to cater for. I always pre cook chicken in the microwave before OH barbecues it, for wings about 1 minute per wing, for thighs 2 mins per thigh. Buy a very large pot of shop coleslaw, chop some apple into it, tip into a dish and call it home made. Or suggest he makes it! Ann glos

56 young men and McAnne hasn't made an appearance yet? ***Faints*** Have a lovely time. Maybe you could have a disposable bbq for any vegetarians you know are coming (a few veggie sausages perhaps?)

once its all done i,ll be ok and can relax.but im panicking..i must learn to keep my gob shut.lol.xxx

good idea guys,hes just informed me he want coleslaw.........HOMEMADE..........i swear he wont make 21,lol. rose i like that idea,i could even cook um,and throw on BBQ for 10 mins eh. ann you have a point,lots a nibbly things too.xxxx
