How to Make Your Own Labor Day Table Decorations

Nearly everyone loves a party and will find reasons to have one. For those planning an end of summer hurrah on Labor Day, you may be wondering how to make your own Labor Day table decorations. Use these ideas to get you started creating your own festive table decorations.

Begin by deciding what type of theme you’d like to use for your party. Quite often people use the patriotic theme because they have decorations left over from a Fourth of July party. You’re not limited to that theme, however. In fact, you could decorate with Christmas decorations if you wanted to. There are no hard and fast rules about decorating for Labor Day.

Why not develop your own decorating style for this holiday. Or incorporate different elements from other holidays celebrated during the summer months. Use some patriotic decorations or at least traditionally patriotic colors of red, white and blue. Flags and bunting might also be available. Then add other colors which are so important for the season – green and yellow come to mind.

Start with a base of white flowers in a pot, or if you have a large area to decorate, use several pots of white flowers. You could also use any color flowers but quite often you can find white mums or carnations near Labor Day. Then you can add whatever you have on hand which reminds you of summer to these plants. Use your imagination! Have fun coming up with summer-type items to dress up the flowers.

Even though most people don’t think of it this way, Labor Day really is a celebration of those who work. Why not have an office or work-themed party? What, you don’t want to think about work on Labor Day? Then think about a particular field you would like to honor. Perhaps there are a number of public servants you plan to invite. Decorate your table with police, firefighter, medical or military memorabilia.

Celebrate the end of summer and Labor Day with a faux beach party in your back yard. Gather together several children’s sand boxes, fill them with sand and create your own beach. What’s the beach without water? Fill a kiddie pool with water and there you go!

For a table centerpiece you could get a large bowl, fill it with water and some sand. Place small dolls in bathing suits at their “beach.” Then follow this train of thought by decorating with hula skirts, Hawaiian leis, paper or Tiki lanterns and beach balls to fit the party theme. Think of other things you might see at a beach and incorporate those into the scene.

Balloons can be found in every shape, style and color these days. Look at a dollar store to see if they have some which are related to summer activities and use them for decorations. Tie the balloons to chairs, rocks or something heavy to keep them from flying away.

Table decorations don’t have to be elaborate to keep with a party theme. You can make many decorations with construction paper and some scissors, but you can also make decorations by using found items around your home. The important thing is to make your party table festive while leaving enough room for what’s most important – the food!
