Host the Perfect Labor Day Party

Labor Day weekend marks the unofficial end of summer, and it's the perfect occasion for one last outdoor gathering with friends and family. So if you're planning to host a Labor Day party this weekend, here's a few tips from us to make it the perfect sendoff for the summer.

Fire Up The Grill

No Labor Day party is complete without something sizzling. Burgers and hot dogs are classics, but add some grilled vegetables, seafood skewers, or marinated chicken to give your menu variety and accommodate diets of all types! And keep your sides simple-- corn on the cob, potato salad, watermelon slices... create a spread that's abundant without keeping you stuck in the kitchen all day.

Spotify Jams!

Turn on the Bluetooth speaker, and set up a Spotify jam so that everyone can add their favorite music to the playlist. Because no party is perfect without an accompanying soundtrack. 

Offer Options for Everyone

Not all guests will want alcohol, so having non-alcoholic choices that still feel celebratory is key. There's no problem with beer, wine, and spirits, but consider some lemonade, iced tea, apple cider, and fruit juice! You can even create a DIY drink bar, so that everyone can craft their own perfect drink.

Keep Drinks Fresh and Fun with Drinkmate OmniFizz

One of the biggest challenges for a host is offering drinks that feel festive without requiring a bartender's touch (it's harder than it looks!). This is where the Drinkmate OmniFizz shines. Unlike most sparkling systems that only carbonate water, the OmniFizz can add bubbles to any drink. 

Guests can use the Drinkmate OmniFizz to customize their own drinks- kids will love the novelty, and adults will love experimenting with flavor combinations. Have you ever tried carbonating apple cider, or making a sparkling sangria? Absolute game changer.

End on a Sweet Note

Finish the meal with something refreshing and simple: ice cream sandwiches, fruit popsicles, or a no-bake pie. Consider pairing dessert with a sparkling iced coffee for a surprising twist.

A perfect Labor Day party doesn't have to be complicated- if anything, the simpler the better! It's just about creating a space for friends and family to relax, laugh, and enjoy good food and drinks. With some music, food, and fizzy drinks courtesy of Drinkmate, you can add a creative spark to your celebration and sendoff the summer in style.
