Celebrate the Last Week of Summer with a Labor Day Party [2023]

Nothing says Labor Day like a laid-back BBQ potluck. Most families have returned to school and are excited to enjoy one last hurrah before fall and cooler weather set in. If you’re hosting and want to create a perfect party setting, you’ve come to the right place! Let’s see how Twin Star Home can give you an outdoor gathering to remember.

Everyone Gets the Best Seat this Labor Day

A good host or hostess knows a fabulous party is all about timing and flow. You want to strike the perfect balance between keeping a schedule for everyone to follow while being flexible and having fun. This year, while waiting for all your guests to arrive, enjoy conversation and tasty appetizers on a comfy patio set that offers room to spread out (like the one shown below). Whether it’s on your porch, by your pool, or on the lawn, you and your guests will have plenty of room to lounge in comfort and celebrate the day together.

Highlight Home-Cooked Meals

Labor Day is all about relaxation and making the most of your time with friends and family. When everyone contributes to the meal, it makes less work for you and frees up your time in the kitchen, so you can spend quality time with your guests. Encourage your guests to bring side dishes or desserts and display everything with pride on this kathy ireland® Homes and Gardens Madison Ave. 7 Piece Rectangular Outdoor Dining Set by TK Classics, shown below.

Stay Cool this Labor Day

Though fall is approaching, Labor Day has a history of hot weather. While you’re staying outdoors with your friends and family, remember to stay cool. Not only are sunburns uncomfortable and unhealthy, they can put a damper on good times. The fun lasts longer when everyone stays hydrated and protected from the sun’s hot rays.

Create a shady oasis for Labor Day with an 10 foot cantilever umbrella, like the one shown below. A quality umbrella like this one casts an offset shadow that covers up to 8 people in the dining area, keeping everyone comfortable while they eat. You can also set one up by the swimming pool so you and your guests can take a much needed sun break.

Keep the Party Going

The festivities don’t end when the sun goes down – they’ve only just started! Keep the party going into the night by gathering around a glowing fire pit to share stories, laughter, and toast marshmallows for s’mores. Enhance the experience with reflective fire glass for a sparkle that will make your nighttime celebrations even more special.

And when the last guest leaves, keep your grill and patio furniture sparkling clean for the next party, thanks to our collection of water-resistant patio furniture covers, designed to keep dust, dirt, and harmful UV rays off your outdoor investments (shown below).
