Notes for a Labor Day Party

  • Last cookout of summer, make it count with premium BBQ.
  • Weather can be unpredictable, have an indoor backup plan for food.
  • Pool parties need poolside snacks that won't blow away.
  • Kids go back to school soon, family-friendly food is key.
  • End of summer means people are ready to indulge one last time.
  • It's often slightly cooler than July, ice lasts longer.
  • Monday holiday means people may drink a bit more than usual.
