Happy Labor Day weekend! If you have a deck, throw a party!
Labor Day weekend is finally here! This long weekend is a national holiday that everyone can enjoy any way they want to. It is a time of rest from all the labor one does in a given work week. If you have a deck and want to host a party, why not throw a labor day deck party? Here is more about this holiday and how you can set up the best Labor Day celebration on your backyard deck.
What Is Labor Day About?
Labor Day became a federal holiday to be celebrated by every citizen after a tumultuous period. Many everyday Americans across the country suffered from exceedingly long work hours, having work weeks of about 12 hours a day, seven days a week. Child labor was also prevalent, with hours just as long and pay significantly less than for adults. The wages were just enough to get a person by. After multiple protests and strikes that cost lives, Congress passed the act to make Labor Day a federal holiday. President Grover Cleveland signed it into law on June 28, 1894.
How to Throw a Labor Day Deck Party
It is nice to stay home during this first weekend of September and avoid the traffic. Few people remember what led up to the Labor Day holiday; today, it is a time that especially marks the end of summer. Consistent with its beginnings, it is a time to rest and show patriotic spirit.
The first step in throwing a Labor Day deck party is to have a theme. As the themes of this celebration are rest, patriotism, and thankfulness for America’s everyday workers, the themes can range greatly.
The next step is to consider the setup of your deck. Where will people eat and how can they be entertained? A deck provides countless possibilities for outdoor dining and entertaining. It is a place for your grill, fire pit, hot tub, or outdoor lounge set. Account for how many people will show up and have a space for everyone.
The last step is to create your menu. There is never a better time than now to fire up the grill and toast marshmallows over your open fire.
