Planning the Perfect Labor Day Party on Long Island

Labor day weekend marks the last big party weekend of the summer. You owe it to yourself and Summer 2016 to plan the best Labor Day party that you can. You'll need all the right decorations, food and games to make your party stand out from the rest. And if you have any plumbing problems that you think might ruin the occasion, Nassau County Plumbing and Sewer Rooter will be there to save the day. So let's get started! 

Pick a Theme

America is never a bad choice on a day like Labor Day! You could go to the store and buy American flag napkins, cups and even forks and knives if you're feeling extra patriotic. As for the dress, you could play around with the "no white," rule that typically applies to post-labor day fashion. Since white clothes will be out of the wardrobe in the coming months, you could ask your guests to wear all white at your party. This is a fun little idea and it will make for great pictures! 

Pick Your Food 

While a BBQ might seem cliche, it is just the most classic way to end the summer. On your trip to the store, be sure to pickup some chicken/vegetable kabobs, burgers and hot dogs. You want to enjoy your time with friends and family before going back to work, so there is no time to be slaving away in the kitchen. These classic treats are tasty and easy to cook. Enjoy! 

Pick Out Some Games 

You want to make sure the leisure activities you have planned are safe and fun for the whole family. For the adults, Corn Hole is a great choice and you might even find that you enjoy it more than the classic horseshoes. There are two players per team and games are played to 21, may the best man win! As for the kids, a slip-n-slide will keep them cool, happy and busy. Can you ask for anything more? 

Please feel free to share your Labor Day party pictures with us on Facebook or Twitter! 

And remember, more guests might lead to plumbing problems, so make sure your system is in working order before the big day. If you need help, call Nassau County Plumbing and Sewer Rooter at 516-874-7937 or visit us on the web!
