5 Tips for Throwing the Best Labor Day Party EVER

August 26, 2018 by BuyDig Team Leave a Comment

Labor Day weekend is the last big holiday of the summer and is a popular weekend for cookouts, weekend getaways and pool parties. To celebrate these last few days of summer, start planning a Labor Day party for your friends, family and neighbors. Follow these easy tips for planning a Labor Day party and ensure your final summer bash is a hit.


Have a Contingency Plan
In most parts of the U.S., the weather can be really temperamental at the end of the summer. If you’re planning a backyard barbecue, be sure to have a backup plan. Invest in an indoor grill from Buydig.com or a grill pan and know how to cook summertime favorites indoors. Be sure you have enough space to move all of your guests indoors should your party be interrupted by rain.

Pick a Theme
Labor Day is about celebrating patriotism. Having a theme can help highlight all things American. If you’re planning to send invitations, make sure to include the theme inside so that your guests will have time to put together a festive outfit. Some perfect Labor Day party theme ideas include a Whiteout party. This is a great way to poke a little fun at “the no white after Labor Day rule.” Ask your guests to wear as much white as possible. Incorporate white into your decorations and party menu, too! Or go with a Red, White, and Blue party. Ask everyone to wear red, white, and blue. Use the theme in your decorations as well by having American flags, stars and stripes, and the colors displayed throughout the party space.

Build Your Menu
Labor Day is the last “unofficial” weekend of summer and may be the last time you’ll have an opportunity to BBQ before the busy fall season begins. Take full advantage of your Labor Day party, fire up that grill and serve lots of grilled dishes. Mexican grilled corn is everything you could want in a summertime appetizer. It’s fresh, crunchy, tangy and cooks up quickly on the grill. Of course it’s not a BBQ party unless sliders are involved! The best thing about these bite-sized hamburgers is that they can be customized with all kinds of different toppings and sauces. For dessert, make-your-own ice cream sundaes by using the Cuisinart Electric Ice Cream Maker from Buydig.com.

Decorate for the Occasion
Display fun, festive and casual decorations for Labor Day parties. Use the color scheme of red, white, and blue as a guideline for party accessories, streamers, balloons, plates, cups, etc. Also tie in some classic BBQ/picnic décor such as rustic centerpieces filled with seasonal flowers and classic picnic table covers. Finalize your decorations with lighting to create ambiance. Paper lanterns or tiki torchlights are perfect for any outdoor party.


Plan Activities for Guests
If you’re planning a more casual backyard cookout to celebrate Labor Day, opt for team games like volleyball, tag football or tug of war. Planning an elegant evening party? Hire a local musician to provide the entertainment. If there will be kids at the party, plan some activities for them. Let them roast s’mores, give them jars to catch fireflies, or set up an arts and crafts table with summer craft ideas like colored sand jars or friendship bracelets. If you have a backyard pool, move the games to the water.

While the end of our favorite season may be in sight, that’s all the more reason to use these tips to enjoy one last hurrah
