Fire up the grill. A copper 21 stands on a stone ledge beside a backyard grill at golden hour, lanterns glow along the patio, Fired Up for the Weekend is spelled out in copper, and the name is set in copper block letters that match. It is a twenty-first for the guy who would rather host a cookout than go out.
The menu does the decorating: burgers and ribs on the grill, a cooler on ice, cornhole in the yard, a speaker on the patio and a cake brought out when the string lights come on. Copper and black balloons on the fence are plenty.
Add the name, the date and the backyard, and send it to the group. Drawn for a twenty-first, it fits a Father’s Day cookout, a graduation or a fortieth too.
