My mother was a big fan of them on her burger—hey, don't knock it till you try it. Here's how I'm planning this weekend.
Make namecards with a line of why you're proud of them lately. Consider a friendship bracelet making station, bring the nostalgia with old photos on the table, leave out a polaroid for new ones.
A DIY burger bar lets guests do their thing while you take a breather. Offer up a few bun options... and sauces that go beyond ketchup.
I'm leaning picnic-style this year: blankets on the grass, baskets of snacks, and plenty of finger food. A touch more chill, but it still feels like a moment.
