Labor Day Celebration Ideas
Labor Day weekend is here! This means that end of the summer BBQ's, kids going back to school, and cooler weather is upon us. Getting ready for a party at home or simply festively decorating for a holiday does not have be difficult. We love making our homes feel Pinterest ready for any occasion!
Speaking of Pinterest, many of our ideas of come from straight from that source, as we're sure it does for a lot of you! However, if you're in a crunch, we know how overwhelming the thousands of ideas can be. Take a look at a few of our favorite ideas (links included!) to keep things simple and to be as festive!
Decor
Flag Mason Jars
These are a favorite! It's a perfect DIY project for the weekend and you can do it outside and enjoy the sunshine! Mason jars are used in farmhouse style decoration all over and with good reason, they are extremely versatile! Use the mason jars as a flower vase, silverware holder, or as a candle holder.
Red, White, and Blue Flower Vases
If you don't want to take the time to paint anything this weekend, or simply don't have the time, try this colorful variation instead! Clear vases, food coloring, and some white flowers (real or fake!) are all you need! Click the link above to see the details!
Porch Decorations
The heavy use of red here can easily be transferred into your fall set up as well! Keep it pretty and simple and add red, white, and blue accents to your porch to show the neighborhood your creativity. Porch Ideas
Food Ideas
Watermelon on a Stick
This is such a simple, yet great idea! Keep your watermelon treat easy and clean by putting it on a stick for your guests or for the kids. Arrange on a platter or put in a vase for a fun display!
Red, White, and Blue Ice
Whether this is going into a glass of water or a vodka tonic, this is a cute way to brighten up everyone's beverage! Throw a few red and blue ice cubes in a clear beverage and you're set!
For the Kids
Spray on Yard Stars
It's going to be a gorgeous day on Monday and what a better way to be outside then having the kids have some fun with some paint and the grass! Use a stencil and some eco-friendly spray paint and let the kids decorate the yard in Red, White, and Blue!
Star Spangled Slime
We did this at our Red, White, and BOOM client appreciation event for the 4th of July and it was a huge hit with the kids! If they need a break from the sun, or just want to do something a little low key after running around, this should keep the little ones (and you!) entertained.
