I did this when we first moved in a few years ago. I actually included three blocks, our block, the one behind us and the cul-de-sac. At the party I had a list for people to sign up with their e-mail addresses and put a disclaimer on it that if anyone was left out feel free to invite them and let me know so I could add their email address to my master list. We had 60 people show up to our block party which was held in the cul-de-sac. We provided the meat and charged $2.00 at the door and asked everyone to bring a side dish.
