Heads up: One of our cousins has a peanut allergy. If you're bringing a snack or dessert, please skim the ingredients and let us know if it contains peanuts so we can label it clearly.

Open to bring whatever's needed

These folks said "we can bring anything." If a category's still thin, give them a shout.

🙌
Chris & Jackie Lundeen "We can bring anything! All of our food/drinks!"

Jack & Tyna — Kid food handled "We'll bring extras for Elsie & Benny — don't worry about anything special. They eat 3 meals plus an average of 15 snacks. 😅"

Still figuring out what to bring?

Some ideas that always crush

★ Buffalo chicken dip with pretzels & celery
★ A really good potato salad (mustard or mayo, dealer's choice)
★ Watermelon, sliced and salted
★ Pasta salad with a real vinaigrette
★ Charcuterie board for the cocktail hour
★ Brownies, blondies, or a sheet cake
★ A pitcher of something — sangria, lemonade, mocktails
★ Coleslaw (essential rib partner)
★ Deviled eggs (the appetizer that disappears first)
