Tips for Your Labor Day Party at the Lake!

The unofficial end of summer, Labor Day is THIS weekend! Many of you are probably planning parties for your family and friends here at the Lake. While you have probably already sent the invites and planned the menu, there is a lot that needs to be done leading up to your party. Your favorite construction company at the Lake of the Ozarks has tips for ensuring your end of summer bash is a success without losing your sanity!


Get an Official Head Count 

The day before your Labor Day Party, you should make sure that you know just how many people are going to attend. Someone may have mentioned they were planning on coming a few weeks ago but have since changed their plans. Having an official head count will help you know how much seating you need and much food to prepare. If you are asking people to bring a side dish, make sure that both of you know what they are bringing.

Make a List of Everything You Need 

The day before your party, sit down and make a list of everything you need for your party, even if you have already gone shopping. You will have a lot to do the day of the party and avoiding a last minute trip to the grocery store just hours before your guests will arrive will save you time and stress.

Preparing Your Boat Dock 

Whether you have an outdoor kitchen on your dock or you are just planning on boating or swimming off the dock, it is important to get your dock ready! Consider having a cooler of drinks ready at the dock. No lake party is complete without a few great floaties, so be sure to stock up and have them blown up before your guest arrive.


Prepare the Day Before

You should do as much as you can the day before to make the day of preparations as easy as possible. Things you can prepare the day before include, getting drinks ready, setting the table, and food preparations. You could even set the table and everything laid out ahead of time.



One Source Services hopes that you have the best holiday weekend! Getting together with your family and friends to commemorate the end of summer is a great way to unwind and enjoy time together.
