When you get that invite to celebrate the 4th of July at a Wyoming BBQ party, your first thought will probably be "what am I taking?" because you don't want to show up empty-handed.

We all know that one person who will show up in full-on 4th of July party mode. Red, White, and Blue from the top down, and probably already a six-pack deep into their celebration. That's all good, don't forget that you've been invited as a guest, you don't want to steal the show.

There are a few things to keep in mind as a guest:

  1. Don't arrive too late or too early. It's good manners to be on time. If you're early, the hosts may not be ready, and if you're too late, they'll have to wait for you.
  2. Offer to help out. Everyone can use a hand, especially if things are running a little behind or they're trying to get everything cleaned up so that they can enjoy the party too.
  3. Bring your chairs, sun protection, and any other essentials you may need to stay comfortable, especially if the party is being held outdoors.
  4. Don't come empty-handed. There are several ways you can tackle this situation. One, ask the host what you can bring or if they need you to pick something up. Two, get an easy item to show your appreciation for the invitation.

More likely than not, the host will handle the main course. If you're going to a Wyoming BBQ, you can expect plenty of meat, so think along the lines of the other options, like a side, dessert, or drinks.
