A few months ago we moved into a new neighborhood and were so excited to meet our neighbors; we wanted to make lifelong friends, and enjoy our new home. We built our house specifically in a cul-de-sac to make it easy for our kids to run around without all the busy traffic nearby. I love having everyone in close proximity with one another and enjoy coming together with our children.
Since it’s a new construction area, many new families are moving in and because we moved last fall, it was difficult to make friends because of the snow and colder weather. Now that it’s officially warming up here in the Midwest, we decided to put together a little neighborhood party to get to know everyone!
So what do you need for this little party?
1. Snacks– We’re a big group and snacks are always important. I make sure to pick all the essentials when it comes to snacks, such as fruit, various hearty side dishes, and vegetables for everyone to dip and dunk. The kids loved coming back and forth to grab whatever it is they wanted – sweet, salty or just plain delicious!
2. Drinks– You can’t have a party without a few drinks, especially when you have snacks out too. I purchased various juice boxes for the kids and Bud Light Lemon Tea for the adults. It’s a great combo to add to the snacks. The crisp flavor of the beer is so refreshing during a long, hot summer day. This new flavor, the Lemon Tea, is delicious. I love the sweet tea flavor! It’s brewed over tea leaves with real lemon peels so you’ll get that tart refreshing taste in every sip – which I adore! I picked mine up at my local super-center.
3. Games– It’s not a party without a few outdoor games so we have chalk for hopscotch and drawing pictures, paintbrushes and water to paint the sidewalks and hula hoops and scooters for the kids to use! The adults sometimes participate in the activities too which always makes for a great time!

What are some essentials that you’ll need when it comes to hosting your neighbors this summer? Our party was the perfect way to get to know everyone that was moving in, we got to know their families and started life long friendships over delicious food and drink.
What is your favorite thing to snack on during the summer months?
Have you tried the Bud Light Lemon Tea?
I am not a big beer drinker but this new Bud Light flavor looks so good. It is nice to bond with neighbors when you live in a nice area.
I'm not a huge beer fan. But I'm interested since it's a lemon tea flavor. Does it taste more like beer or tea?
This is such a lovely idea, we were talking about hosting a little get together with our neighbours earlier while we were out with one of them. I'd definitely have to get some of this in for those who drink!
Oooo I want to try this! Bud Light already is so refreshing on a hot summer day. The added flavor of lemon has me intrigued!
We recently went to a neighborhood get together and it was fun. It wasn't even our neighborhood (haha) but we were invited by some friends.
These are some great tips for hosting a neighborhood get together. We always need great food and great drinks!
Neighborhood parties are one of my favorite memories growing up! Thanks for the great tips!
We get along really well with some of our neighbors but have never held a get together for them. That would be really fun,
aww this looks like such a fun time! I need to do this, this weekend!!
It is always so nice to have a neighborhood get together. Especially so when you are in a new neighborhood, this is a great way to bond. You have given some excellent tips to have a lovely get together.
I love Bud Light- this Lemon Tea flavor sounds great for summer!

I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds super refreshing for the summer!! I love snacking on crackers and cheese, summer sausage, nuts of all kind.. I have get-togethers very often, and there's no party without amazing music and food!! And games!!
Our village offers block party kits. We can get barricades and games for a small deposit.
