Thanks for the tips. I didn't think about adding fruit to the ice cubes. I did think about making the ice cubes out of the punch or lemonade. I will have to try that.

freezing juice or fruit for ice cubes is not only great for parties like this, but even for a glass of tea around the BBQ or a day out by the pool. Freeze lemonade and drop into a glass of tea and let it flavor as it cools.

So here is the menu that we have planned on so far. I am sure it will change but hopefully not.

BBQ chicken wings
little smokies smothered in BBQ sauce
a cheese and cracker tray
Fruit tray
Veggie tray with dip
Chips
French onion dip
salsa
cheese dip

Lemonade
Fruit punch

cake.

sounds good!

It does sound good. As well it is something that can be done quickly since we are having it at 6pm and she graduates at 10 in the morning. Some of it I will do the night before so I wont be rushing.
