People expect to help, and, whatever your feeling may be about such help indoors, you can use it gratefully at an outdoor party. Outdoor cooking parties can either cost very little or be very expen­sive, but they can always be relaxed. What you provide in the way of food depends entirely on what you can afford.

there are lots of others
There are other kinds of parties but they will be discussed later since they are really variations of those already mentioned. But whatever the kind of party, the major considerations are always cost, amount of space, amount of help, how many you can handle and whom you want as guests. No party, unless all these factors are properly considered, can be as much fun for you and your guests as it ought to be.
