Casual Party Planning Ideas For a Guy"s Night In
Women think about party planning ideas for a guy's night, and they probably shudder.
The drunken antics, the crazy conversation...
with movies like "The Hangover," guys' night out has become almost a cliché in today's culture.
But you know what? It's time to reclaim "Guys' Night" and let it become, once again the true primal "man" gathering that it is meant to be.
Are you a woman whose man is getting ready to host a guys' only night out (or in)? To help your guy plan his gathering, remember this thing first: you aren't invited! This will be a "no women allowed" zone.
So one key part of planning this evening is to have somewhere else to be...
it might be a great time to have a girls' night at a friend's house.
Food for a Guys' Night To make the most out of a guy's night party planning, remember that there is nothing more primal than meat and fire.
Grilling is a great male bonding thing and guys love nothing more than throwing a few steaks onto the grill, having a few drinks and just being able to talk about whatever, without any female interference.
Or their listening ears.
Want to make a special meal for a guys' night (or help your man put together something great)? You actually don't have to spend a fortune on the steaks.
You can get some great deals on steak, pork or chicken at your local grocer and use marinades to make any barbeque recipe more flavorful and tender.
Manly Jack Daniel's Marinated Steaks Since we are talking about guys, what better marinade to use than one with one of your man's favorite potables, like Jack Daniels? This marinade is flavorful, tenderizing, and simple to put together.
If you're helping your man plan a guys' night party, you can simply whip up this marinade together and put inexpensive steaks (or chicken or pork chops) to marinate the night before.
Then it's just grilling.
Ingredients: 1/4 cup Jack Daniel's whiskey 1/4 cup Soy sauce 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 1/4 cup (minced) Green onion 1/4 cup Light brown sugar 1 tsp Salt Dash of Worcestershire sauce Pepper, to taste Directions: Mix all the ingredients, and blend well.
Use to marinate all types of meat for any barbeque recipe.
Red meat should marinate overnight.
Jack Daniel's BBQ Sauce for Pork or Chicken If making steaks for a guys' night, simply the marinade will do beautifully.
But if you want to go nuts and do bbq ribs, chicken, or pork, this Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce recipe will have all the guys at the party drooling.
Ingredients: 1 cup pineapple juice 1/2 cup Jack Daniel's whiskey (or other favorite brand of whiskey) 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 2 beef bouillon cubes 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce (or less, to taste) Directions: In a small sauce pan, combine the pineapple juice, whiskey, brown sugar, beef bouillon cubes, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder and Tabasco sauce.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Allow to cool and use as a glaze on any grilled meat.
Either way, you can't go wrong with your party planning on this one.
And both concoctions are great with all kinds of meat.
Drinks and Side Dishes for Guys Night When you're thinking of party planning ideas and recipes for a guys' night, always remember...
you're feeding MEN! That means that unless you know that vegetation is tolerated, don't plan on leaving your guy with instructions on how to make any.
However, if he's interested...
grilled asparagus, tomatoes and eggplant are tasty and wonderful additions to any meal.
Baked potatoes are a must.
Wrap them up in foil, throw them on the grill, serve them up loaded all the way...
a manly man's potato! Beverages depend on your man and his friends.
Ice cold beer (splurge on some fancy micro brews if that's your man's thing), soda, and water are always welcome.
As for the entertainment element in your party planning...
that's easy.
It can anything from the big game to a Bruce Campbell retrospective.
Guys are easy that way.
Make sure that your guy knows that you are willing to help him plan, but that you are leaving the moment that his friends show...
and let the good times ROLL!
