Labor Day and backyard cookouts go hand in hand, so if you want to wave goodbye to the summer season in style and celebrate Labor Day with friends and family, what could be better than firing up the grill and making the most of your outdoor space?

If you’re thinking of holding a Labor Day soiree that will go down as one of the best in history, here are a few things that you’ll need to really get the party started.

Food and drinks

Although food is, without doubt, one of the main ingredients for a great Labor Day party, you won’t want to spend all day tied to your grill catering for your guests. With a little smart planning and prep, you can create a real feast for visitors without missing out on all of the fun.

Think about grill items that can be looked quickly such as marinated steaks, chicken pieces that can be pre-cooked and then placed on the grill before serving and plenty of salads that you can either pick up from the store or make the night before, so you have more time to spend with your guests.

Seating areas

If you want your Labor Day party guests to stay as long as possible, you’ll need to get creative with your seating. If you haven’t got heaps of extra chairs hanging around in your garage, you can use dining room chairs, bean bags and even big floor cushions for the kids as part of your seating solutions.

If you’re expecting plenty of guests to come, why not ask them to bring their own seating rather than a dish to share at the party as this can help you save money on seats that you’ll probably get little use out of afterwards?

Entertainment

No Labor day party would be complete without a little music, so instead of bringing your sound system outdoors and running the risk of it being ruined by rain, a Cabinet Tronix outdoor TV lift cabinet offers the ideal solution to your party entertainment needs.

Not only do these outdoor TV lift units really look the part, but they are fully protected from the elements should the weather change unexpectedly. Available in a wide range of styles and the ability to contain TVs of almost any size, choose your favorite music channel and let the good times roll!
