It’s hard to believe summer is coming to an end and the last big summer celebration is right around the corner. Labor Day marks the end of summer. What better way to end summer than to go out with a bang! There’s nothing more appropriate than a backyard BBQ party to celebrate Labor Day. We have the perfect tips to help you host the biggest bash of the summer!
Decorations
Dig into your 4th of July stash and pull out your patriotic decorations for Labor Day. Your red, white and blue and America themed utensils, banners, napkins, tablecloths, plates and flags will be perfect for Labor Day decorating as well. You can add some new flare with these creative ideas as well.
Sparkler Holders– Red Solo cups aren’t just for holding your drinks, they make the perfect sparkler stand too. Just line up the cups upside down with the sparklers stuck in the middle of the bottoms for the perfect finale to your party.
Frozen Balloons– Instead of the usual coolers or buckets of ice to keep bottles and canned drinks cool at your get-together, try using frozen water balloons to add a splash of color to your party.
Drink Stirrers– These aren’t your ordinary drink stirrers. Whether you’re serving pink lemonade, tea, or a fruity cocktail, these Gumball Stirrers will add some pizazz to your cookout.
Fun & Games- The usual summer BBQ games of volleyball, croquet, badminton, and tag football are great, but if you want your Labor Day party to be one your family, friends and neighbors will be talking about until next summer, try adding these original games to your list of activities.
