Labor Day Weekend is always a big holiday at our house because it also happens to be my wife’s birthday.  Our family tradition is to have family, friends and neighbors over for a free-for-all BBQ in our backyard.  This year, we’ve got about 20 people coming over.

To keep costs down, we have everyone bring their own food and drinks plus a dish to share.  We fire up the grill and let everyone cook their own meat while the kids play in the backyard and ride bikes.  Having everyone share in the meat and drink buying and side dish preparing is a great way to keep costs and stress levels low while still being able to entertain a bunch of neighbors this holiday weekend.
