Add extra meaning to your Labor Day BBQ by saluting the Labor that built America. Amaze your friends
and family at your last BBQ of the summer by using some of our Labor Day decoring ideas.
Read on for unique
ideas.
Flyswatter
Invitations:
Purchase old-fashioned flyswatters at a hardware or houseware store. Personalize store-bought red-and-white-checked invitations with your own party information, or
have invitations printed with a red-and-white-checked border. Remember to keep the font fun and casual, this isn't the
time for fancy cursive. You could even get the kids to write them! Attach invitations to flyswatters with bright red ribbon.
Tableware and Decor Ideas
Use small terra-cotta pots to hold flatware wrapped in napkins or to make rustic wind chimes. Use large pots as rose
and champagne buckets. The remaining bases of the large pots make excellent charger plates and serving trays for creative
condiments.
Terra-cotta pots also
make ideal candle or votive holders. Line your garden path with them; place them around the perimeter of the yard or along
the edges of the porch.
For a large outdoor barbecue, attach nametags (made from
construction paper cut into the shape of hanging T-shirts) to an old-fashioned clothesline with great big wooden clothespins.
Fill an open cooler with crushed ice; prop an array of open pints of ice cream
on the surface. Voila! An opened Crayola box of ice cream!
Stock up on mason jars and use to serve iced
tea or lemonade...or fill with homemade barbecue sauce, add decorative labels and top them with red-and-white-checked cloth
squares tied neatly with kitchen twine. The perfect parting gift for guests!
