Labor Day BBQ and party games can be lots of fun for celebrating, especially if you pair them up with a pool or day at the beach as a way to stay cool.
The heat of the day won't spoil your party that way and the water can add an extra element to your party.
Do be sure to tell your guests beforehand that you are planning on using the pool or having the party at the beach so they can bring their swimsuits.
People inevitably forget their towels so always have a few extra on hand for forgetful guests.
Since it is Labor Day, a day which is dedicated to the worker, why not populate your guest list with the names of coworkers.
This will not only help make you popular at work but can help provide enough interesting people at your party to really make it an event.
Be careful not to make it too good a party though or you'll end up being responsible for every office event for years to come! As for the BBQ part make sure to question your guests either in writing or in person beforehand as to what foods they prefer.
That way you can create a menu of items that should include something for just about everyone.
Not all guests may like burgers and hot dogs; in fact you may very well have a few vegetarians attending.
So it never hurts to throw a few vegetables on the grill.
To help keep the kids occupied after hanging out in the pool gets boring set up a game of career charades.
Divide the party into two teams.
Have each team take turns sending members to draw a slip of paper from a hat with a career written on it.
Then these team members have to act out the career for their team and hope that someone guesses it correctly.
Teams with the highest number of correct guesses win a prize.
