Labor Day Party Inspiration

The Best Way to Enjoy the End of Summer

Has your summer flown by? If you’re looking for a last chance to soak up the summer vibes and relax in good company, this weekend is your time to shine. Hosting a Labor Day party is a great way to celebrate the holiday with friends and family. Here are some fun ideas to make your Labor Day festivities enjoyable and memorable.

• Organize a classic backyard BBQ with grilled delights like burgers, hot dogs, and ribs. Set up a buffet-style food station with your favorite toppings, fixings, sides, and refreshing beverages. Don’t forget vegetarian options in case someone in your group is meat-free.
• Set up some easy outdoor games and activities to entertain your guests. Who doesn’t love a friendly competition? Games like cornhole, horseshoes, badminton, or volleyball can bring people together for endless fun and laughs. Or go the easy route by throwing a soccer ball or frisbee into the mix.
• If you can access a pool or live near a lake or beach, incorporate water activities into your Labor Day party. Or keep it simple by pulling out a hose for water games like a water balloon toss, water gun fights, or a slip and slide. 
• Embrace the patriotic spirit of Labor Day by incorporating a red, white, and blue theme into your decorations, table settings, and attire. Encourage guests to dress in patriotic colors and provide small American flags or other American-inspired party favors.
• Make a fun playlist. Music can energize the party and get everyone dancing. Choose a playlist that includes popular hits and songs that resonate with the spirit of celebration.
• Set up an outdoor movie screening with a projector, large screen, or white bedsheet. Choose a family-friendly film or a classic favorite. Provide comfortable seating options like blankets, pillows, and lawn chairs. Don’t forget popcorn and snacks for a complete movie experience.
• Create a signature Labor Day cocktail or mocktail for your guests to enjoy. Complement your main beverage with refreshing drinks like fruit-infused water, lemonade, iced tea, or a summer-inspired punch.
