										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nothing says barbecue like making a <strong>homemade BBQ ribs recipe</strong>. Some foods remind you of ‘Home Sweet Home’.

One such recipe that calls for remembering your home is the Classic Barbecued Pork Ribs. This gorgeous summer <a href="https://stagetecture.com/bbq-grill-spicy-shrimp-skewers-recipe/" target="_blank">barbecue recipe</a> is a reason enough for the family to get together in the backyard and enjoy this delectable food.

<h3><strong>BBQ Ribs Recipe Ingredients:</strong></h3>
<p>Pork ribs &#8211; 4 lbs</p>
<p>1 tsp smoke salt</p>
<p>1 tbsp paprika</p>
<p>1 tbsp garlic powder</p>
<p>1/2 tsp ground red pepper</p>
<p>3/4 cups brown sugar <em>(light colored variety preferred)</em></p>
<p>2 cups barbecue sauce <em>(use your favorite brand or flavor)</em></p>
<h3>Barbecue Ribs Directions:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Pre-heat the oven to 150°C. Meanwhile take out the rough tissue from the bony side of the pork ribs.</li>
<li>In a bowl mix salt, paprika, garlic powder, ground red pepper and sugar.</li>
<li>Now rub the mix on the pork ribs using your fingers.</li>
<li>On a baking tray arrange for two layers of foil and place the ribs with the meaty side down. Now lay two layers of foil on the ribs and seal the edges by crimping the edges of the top and bottom foils upwards.</li>
<li>Cook for about 2 hours and 15 minutes.</li>
<li>Remove from the oven and check if the meat has shrunk away from the bones. If yes then its done, else put it back in the oven for another 15 minutes.</li>
<li>Heat the broiler and meanwhile cut the ribs into portions that are can be served. You can cut 2 to 3 ribs together.</li>
<li>Now arrange the ribs on the broiler with the meat side facing down.</li>
<li>Brush the barbecue sauce on the bony side and wait for it to bubble. Once that happens to flip the side and repeat the same on the other side.</li>
<li>Your pork ribs are done.</li>
</ol>
<p>This summer barbecue works well with all sorts of meat like lamb and chicken apart from pork. You can even grill the meat once it is out of the oven. The use of foil while baking helps keep the flavors and juice intact and helps you toss up a succulent dish. Do share if you can think of any interesting twists to this recipe. It would be great to hear from you.</p>

<p>The 4<sup>th</sup> of July is here and what better way to celebrate than with savory bbq food, friends and family? I love bringing out patriotic red, white and blue colors and sprinkling in summer colors and dinnerware to set the scene. I’m excited to of paired with <a href="http://www.villeroy-boch.com/themes/barbecue-bbq.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Villeroy &amp; Boch</a> to feature their new BBQ Passion and Pizza Passion lines. If you remember in the past I’ve highlighted the gorgeous dinnerware, crystal ware and entertaining ideas on Stagetecture with Villeroy &amp; Boch. Of course you and I will never forget the unforgettable night in Frankfurt, Germany I spent with <a href="https://stagetecture.com/amazing-night-with-villeroy-boch-blogtourambiente/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BlogTourAmbiente and the Villeroy &amp; Boch</a> family!</p>

<p>Today I want to show you how to bring patriotic colors together with their lovely <a class="easyazon-link" href="https://stagetecture.com/product/B01GHK8IQE/US/stagetectur05-20/?cart=y" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-cart="y" data-cloak="y" data-identifier="B01GHK8IQE" data-locale="US" data-localize="y" data-popups="n" data-tag="stagetectur05-20">white dinnerware</a> to set a memorable 4<sup>th</sup> of July BBQ table this holiday season.</p>

<h4><strong>Set your 4<sup>th</sup> of July table with party food and patriotic colors</strong></h4>
<p>While the traditional red, white and blue are a necessity I always like to bring in summer colors such as pops of yellow and green to give the table dimension. I started off with red burlap fabric and denim fabric runners for added texture under the table settings. I think it’s fun to mix and match patterns! So I used nautical blue and white striped napkins and red linen napkins to bring a casual and formal mix to the table.</p>
<p><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-82495" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate.jpg" alt="Villeroy and Boch_4th of July BBQ steak plate" width="700" height="933" srcset="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate.jpg 700w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate-225x300.jpg 225w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate-390x520.jpg 390w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate-45x60.jpg 45w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate-300x400.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
<p>Villeroy &amp; Boch’s Nek Mini Vase in Deep Cherry and the Numa Vase in Midnight Sky held my happy sunflowers perfectly. When I have a lot of dishes on the table I like to keep the centerpiece simple.</p>
<p><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-82494" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas.jpg" alt="Villeroy and Boch_4th of July BBQ ideas" width="700" height="933" srcset="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas.jpg 700w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas-225x300.jpg 225w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas-390x520.jpg 390w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas-45x60.jpg 45w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas-300x400.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
<h4><strong>Choosing the right dinnerware to fit your bbq party food recipes</strong></h4>
<p>Villeroy &amp; Boch’s new BBQ Passion line includes beautiful steak plates in two sizes to fit your entertaining needs. I enjoyed how they have a sauce indentation in the dish that enables you to put your condiments or favorite sauces right there on the plate without interfering in your presentation. I also used their Artesano dip bowls and trays for <a class="easyazon-link" href="https://stagetecture.com/product/B0027UKBUA/US/stagetectur05-20/?cart=y" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-cart="y" data-cloak="y" data-identifier="B0027UKBUA" data-locale="US" data-localize="y" data-popups="n" data-tag="stagetectur05-20">barbecue sauce</a> and horse radish – perfect for the shish kebabs! The beautiful wood Artesano Salad Servers complement any salad you&#8217;d like to serve your guest in the Artesano Original Salad Bowl.</p>

<h3><strong>Decorating in style with colorful accessories for your holiday table</strong></h3>
<p>One of the elements that is often forgotten when decorating a festive table is to bring color through glasses. Villeroy &amp; Boch&#8217;s Boston colored Highball Beer Tumblers in blue and red paired nicely with the decor and who doesn&#8217;t love to sip out of a festive red and white or blue and white striped straw? Cooling down on the 4th of July couldn&#8217;t be sweeter than with these glasses to complement the white Artesano Original <a class="easyazon-link" href="https://stagetecture.com/product/B000675YTY/US/stagetectur05-20/?cart=y" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-cart="y" data-cloak="y" data-identifier="B000675YTY" data-locale="US" data-localize="y" data-popups="n" data-tag="stagetectur05-20">Pizza plate</a> in the center of the table.</p>

<p>Instead of pizza I piled our corn on the cob and shish kebab skewers in the center, but a cheesy flatbread, or big loaf of French bread would have worked just as easily!</p>

<p>Is your <strong>outdoor garden area</strong> ready for summer entertaining? As summer approaches its time to start preparing your garden with everything you’ll need for any BBQ’s or outdoor gathering you might be having. This is a quick guide with some of the essentials you’ll need to make the most out of this year’s summer weather.</p>
<h3>Prepare your Outdoor Garden Area for Summer Entertaining</h3>
<p><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/outdoor-summer-entertaining-e1462367025595.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81711" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/outdoor-summer-entertaining-e1462367025595.jpg" alt="outdoor summer entertaining" width="700" height="467" /></a></p>
<h3><strong>Is your barbecue area ready?</strong></h3>
<p>Choosing a barbecue is an obvious starting point for any outdoor essentials. Whether you want a charcoal barbecue to get that authentic barbecue taste or you prefer the convenience of gas powered cooking. Keep in mind what type of barbecue you need, what size barbecue will you need? Do you want a permanent barbecue or something you can store away?</p>
<figure id="attachment_47806" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-47806" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-47806" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/garden-pool.jpg" alt="garden pool" width="500" height="318" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-47806" class="wp-caption-text">How will you get your garden ready for the summer?</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Eberlein Design Consultants</em></p>
<h3><strong>Garden Furniture</strong></h3>
<p>If you’re going to be spending time in your garden you’re going to want somewhere to sit and eat. There are plenty of options for garden furniture from plastic seating and tables to solid wood or metal. You’ll need to decide whether you want to be able to move your furniture around easily for storage, which might mean you go for lightweight plastic seating or perhaps a sturdy garden bench that you can use all year round.  You might also want to consider some cover from sun when it gets too hot by investing in a gazebo or parasol. This should protect you from the sun in the summer and keep the bad weather away in the winter.</p>
<h3><strong>Outdoor Heating</strong></h3>
<p>It might be warm in the daytime but if you’re planning on spending your evenings outside you might want to keep everyone warm. There a couple of options when it comes to outdoor heating. Patio heating is a very effective way of staying warm and are quick and easy to use. Other alternatives are Chimneas or Fire Bowls. If you prefer warmth from an open fire then these are perfect. Should stay warm into the night and give off plenty of light at the same time.</p>
<figure id="attachment_47808" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-47808" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-47808" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/garden-pool-landscaping.jpg" alt="garden pool landscaping" width="500" height="397" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-47808" class="wp-caption-text">Ensure your pool and landscaping are ready for guests</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Creative Design Construction, Inc.</em></p>
<h3><strong>Ensure your Pool is Ready for Guests</strong></h3>
<p>If the heat gets too much for some, you can always consider a inflatable garden pool. There is surely a pool size for almost any garden size or budget. If you’re expecting children at you’re gathering you’ll certainly keep them happy with the addition of a pool. Alternatively you can fill it with some cool water and use it to keep your drinks cool while it’s not in use.</p>
<h3><strong>Invite your Closest Friends and Family</strong></h3>
<p>Last but by certainly no means least, there’s no use having an outdoor gathering on your own. Make sure you invite your friends and family so you can get the most out of your garden improvements. If you’ve got everything mentioned above it should help ensure that your outdoor gatherings go smoothly and you can maximize your time outside until right up until winter rolls around again.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hot Dogs are definitely a classic and can’t be missing from any decent BBQ party. A Labor Day BBQ is no exception. To take it a step further and make the plain old Hot Dog <a href="https://stagetecture.com/2014/08/celebrate-the-labor-day-holiday/">Labor Day </a>worthy, try this super yummy twist for them by adding bacon and cheese which takes the Hot Dogs to a new level of flavor. If you don’t have plans for throwing BBQ party on Labor Day, just pop the Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Hot Dogs in the oven to grill them there. You can take them with you for a picnic, although the best way to eat them is when the cheese is still melted and the bacon crispy. Follow the simple recipe and steps to prepare them in a few minutes.</p>

<p>Although messing up a drink recipe doesn&#8217;t sound like the best way to make a <a href="https://stagetecture.com/2013/12/spirited-holiday-cocktails-sparkling-charleston-cosmopolitan/" target="_blank">great tasting cocktail</a>, one Italian drink proves that happy accidents are possible. A Negroni Sbagliato cocktail by <a href="http://www.dwalexander.com/" target="_blank" rel="dofollow">Toronto bar D.W. Alexander</a> is the perfect addition to a fun evening. This sparkling punch-like mixture has a nice, palatable taste that goes great at dinner parties. It&#8217;s a refreshingly light cocktail with a pleasant red color that can be garnished with an array of fresh fruits to make a beautiful springtime concoction. The recipe is quite simple:</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Negroni Sbagliato Cocktail Recipe</strong></h3>
<figure id="attachment_75921" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-75921" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/negroni-dwalexander.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-75921" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/negroni-dwalexander.jpg" alt="negroni-dwalexander" width="500" height="500" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-75921" class="wp-caption-text">Negroni Sbagliato Cocktail Recipe</figcaption></figure>
<div></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">[ad#co-3]</p>
<div></div>
<h3><strong>Ingredients</strong></h3>
<p>1oz Gin<br />
1oz Sweet Vermouth<br />
1oz Cava (or a similarly sweet sparkling white wine)<br />
OPTIONAL: Fresh seasonal fruit (oranges, limes, grapefruits, etc.)<br />
NOTE: To make a larger portion size which can be served to guests, you can add as much of each ingredient as needed, but always keep the portions equal. For example, if you use 5oz of Gin, you must use 5oz of the other two ingredients, etc.</p>
<h3>Directions</h3>
<p>1. Mix together Gin and Sweet Vermouth into a glass filled with ice. Stir them gently to combine. If you&#8217;re making a party size portion, you can use a punch bowl with ice in it.<br />
2. If you plan to use fresh fruit garnishes, slice the fruit into wheels. Put the fruit slice(s) into your drink mixture.<br />
3. Top the mixture with Cava sparkling wine. Stir briefly to combine. Garnish with a leftover fruit wheel of your choice.</p>
<h3>Variations</h3>
<p>The great thing about this cocktail is that you can easily &#8220;mess it up&#8221; further to make the flavor or appearance suit any occasion. Here are a few tasty variations to the Negroni Sbagliato cocktail:</p>
<p>1. You can make a lighter cocktail mix by nixing the Gin. Instead, use a light Campari in the equivalent amount. This is a popular substitution, and the red color of Campari adds a pleasing look to your glass.<br />
2. Spice up your garnish by sprinkling fresh ground cinnamon on top of the entire punch bowl mixture. Wait until you have done all of the necessary stirring, so that the cinnamon will simply rest on top and add a touch of spice along with an attractive dusted appearance to the cocktail.<br />
3. Change it up to add a bit of a kick to the recipe. Substitute good vodka for the Gin and you will end up with a Negroski cocktail. This is stronger and has a different flavor, but that might be what you prefer if you&#8217;re not a fan of Gin.</p>

<h3>3. Throw a Labor Day Party</h3>
<p>Since it is slightly known that after Labor Day you can no longer wear white, how about throwing an All-White Party for your Labor Day Activity. An all-white party will be just the celebration that a more mature audience would like. You can send out all white invitations, have everyone dress in an all-white attire, bake and cook all white foods and drink clear or all white drinks. Just to have some fun and remembrance of the white you will not be able to put on until the next year.</p>
<h3>4. Take Advantage of the Activities around You</h3>
<p>More than likely within your city or town there are going to be festivities that you and your family can attend. Take advantage and see what your surroundings have to offer. From local live concerts to fun games and crafts your city will probably have a range of things for you to get into, perhaps even a historical tribute for the holiday. You don’t have to stay home, go out and celebrate with the city. It can even be something as small as getting some ice cream and watching the fireworks.</p>
<h3>5. Light Fireworks</h3>
<p>Speaking of fireworks, you can have your own firework party.  Fireworks are always a great activity to do, no matter what age you may be. Check your local grocery, convenient, or firework store to get some. If children are going to be involved then make extra sure that adult supervision is close. Fireworks come in a wide variety of sizes and explosions. So the choice is yours about which ones you would like to purchase and set off for the day.</p>

<p>Labor Day should be relaxing and filled with fun for you and the family to enjoy. If you are having some trouble finding and narrowing down what to do to celebrate it then you can always look for ways to help. It can be simple ideas such as crafts for your kids or watching the fireworks. Plus, you can even make it a relaxing night for you and your family with a movie and popcorn at the house.</p>

<h4><strong>BBQ Tips: Summer Grilling Dos and Don&#8217;ts</strong></h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_52059" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-52059" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/summer-kitchen-mediterranean.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-52059" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/summer-kitchen-mediterranean.jpg" alt="summer kitchen mediterranean" width="500" height="366" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-52059" class="wp-caption-text">Planning on grilling this season? Look at these do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts tips</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Houzz</em></p>
<h2>Do:</h2>
<h3>Inspect and Clean the Grill Thoroughly</h3>
<p>Inspect the grill to make sure it doesn’t have rust and its vents are working properly. Clean the burner of fat and grease as these can provide fuel for a fire if left neglected. If you have a gas grill, make sure its hose doesn’t have any holes or leaks. Hook up the hose properly and ensure all connections are working.</p>
<h3>Keep the Grill At Least 10 feet from your House</h3>
<p>Keep the grill far from your house to reduce the risk of fire. Make sure it is out of high-traffic areas where children and pets can’t bump into it. Additionally, don’t place it under wooden overhangs as fire can erupt into the structure above. This rule applies to both gas and charcoal grills.</p>
<h3>Create Zones of Varying Heat</h3>
<p>When grilling with charcoal, move the coals to one side so that they incline towards the centre. This way, you have one hot zone for direct heat and a less hot one for indirect heat. When your barbecue is almost done, you can move it to the less hot side to prevent it from burning.</p>
<figure id="attachment_49804" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-49804" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/outdoor-summer-kitchen-area.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-49804" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/outdoor-summer-kitchen-area.jpg" alt="outdoor summer kitchen area" width="500" height="555" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-49804" class="wp-caption-text">This summer ensure your grilling is enjoyed by all</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Homes</em></p>
<h2>Don’t:</h2>
<h3>Char Meat</h3>
<p>You may love the charred and crispy bits on grilled meat, but such meat isn’t good for your health. It may contain cancer-causing chemicals formed when meat is grilled at high temperatures over an open flame.</p>
<figure id="attachment_66021" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-66021" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Charred-meat.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-66021" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Charred-meat.jpg" alt="Summer Grilling Tips" width="500" height="306" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-66021" class="wp-caption-text">Never char meat when grilling</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: America&#8217;s Test Kitchen</em></p>
<h3>Cover the Grill When Cooking Meat Directly Over Coals</h3>
<p>This is a grilling mistake many people make. Covering the grill causes the meat to release fat drippings which turn into puffs of foul-tasting smoke when they hit the coals. The smoke gives your food a bad flavor. When grilling, build a multi-level fire and pay close attention to the meat.</p>
<figure id="attachment_66256" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-66256" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/grilling-food.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-66256" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/grilling-food.jpg" alt="grilling food" width="500" height="500" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-66256" class="wp-caption-text">Cook all food as long as neccesary &#8211; not more or less</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Williams &#8211; Sonoma</em></p>
<p>Summer brings with it many backyard parties and quick meals on the grill. Without proper caution however, lovely barbeques can quickly turn into disasters. Use these summer grilling tips to make your food tasty and healthy.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: right;">Entry #2803, September 2, 2013</p>
<p>People start observing the <a href="https://stagetecture.com/inspiration/holiday/" target="_blank">Labor Day holiday</a> since 1880s to show honor to the workers for their contributions to the society. Like other holidays, people celebrate the day with parties, outdoor activities, traveling, cooking, and enjoying time with their family. Throwing a party is a very common Labor Day activity. Check out these theme ideas for your Labor Day party:</p>
<figure id="attachment_54205" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54205" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/American-flag-collage.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54205" alt="American flag collage" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/American-flag-collage.jpg" width="500" height="375" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54205" class="wp-caption-text">Happy Labor Day! How will you celebrate the day?</figcaption></figure>

<div></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">[ad#co-1]</p>
<div></div>
<h3><strong>Southern States Theme</strong></h3>
<p>Southern states can be the theme of your party that will celebrate the trends and culture of the country’s southern states and Hawaii. You can create a combination of exotic Hawaiian and typical southern atmosphere by decorating your yard with tiki torches and red, white, and blue Christmas lights. Fill the air with some compilation of Hawaiian music alongside scores of jazz and blues. Choose a menu that includes southern recipes along with a few traditional items.</p>
<figure id="attachment_54207" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54207" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Patriotic-desserts.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54207" alt="Patriotic desserts" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Patriotic-desserts.jpg" width="500" height="600" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54207" class="wp-caption-text">Patriotic desserts &#8211; Bring out your favorite desserts like Southerner&#8217;s love to do!</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Pinterest</em></p>
<h3><strong>Old-Fashioned Block Party</strong></h3>
<p>An old-fashioned block party is a great way to know your neighbors, especially if you have newly shifted into a neighborhood. Without arranging for everything, ask the guests to bring games, music, and food to share. To make the party interesting, you can throw an old-fashioned dance party that can be enjoyed in the warm night. Dancing under the stars with retro dress up and swing music or big band will be a treat to everyone.</p>
<figure id="attachment_54209" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54209" style="width: 486px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/patriotic-desserts-smores.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54209" alt="patriotic desserts smores" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/patriotic-desserts-smores.jpg" width="486" height="462" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54209" class="wp-caption-text">Patriotic desserts smores</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Party City</em></p>
<h3><strong>Back-to-School Theme</strong></h3>
<p>Many people miss their crazy school days and rear a secret wish to relive those days sometimes. So, recreate the school spirit into your backyard with plenty of cheap eats, rocking music, and your old pals from those raging days. Apart from that, you can enjoy the party by playing softball, volleyball, flag football, and some lawn games like croquet, horseshoes, bocce, etc. Instead of the backyard, such a party can be arranged in a beach too. The warm sand and bonfire will allow you people to squeeze the most out of the fleeting summer days.</p>
<h3><strong>Carnival Theme</strong></h3>
<p>You can decorate your Labor Day party after the summer carnival theme too. In this case, the decorations and necessary accessories should be colorful and music should be loud to bring the carnival feeling. Multiply the enjoyment by setting up booths for the guests to play games and win prizes. Arrange for easy but competitive games. Set up bottles and see who can knock down the highest number of bottles with a single strike of baseball or set up a dartboard and watch who can hit the bull’s eye. In such a party, you can serve typical carnival foods like hamburgers, corn dogs, soft pretzels, and lemonade.</p>
<figure id="attachment_54202" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54202" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/patriotic-front-porch-party-ideas.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54202" alt="patriotic front porch party ideas" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/patriotic-front-porch-party-ideas.jpg" width="500" height="666" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54202" class="wp-caption-text">Have a block party with neighbors and treats!</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Celebrity Party Planner</em></p>
<p>While many people like to concentrate on patriotic themes, you can include a unique mix of decorations and foods representing cultures around the world because Labor Day has a universal appeal that appreciates the hard effort of all the working people around the world.</p>

<p><a href="https://stagetecture.com/inspiration/holiday/" target="_blank">Labor Day</a> is here and it&#8217;s time to celebrate!  Time for BBQ&#8217;s, back yard cook outs, and maybe the last pool party of the year. How about we get creative by adding a punch of the good&#8217;ol red, white and blue to our homes? The best way to really add the &#8216;wow&#8217; factor to your décor is via the front yard, after all isn&#8217;t that the place that everyone sees first? Here are some great ways to turn the front of your house into the most patriotic on the block:</p>
<h4><strong>How to Add Patriotic Red, White and Blue to your Front Yard</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_54149" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54149" style="width: 400px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/outdoor-patriotic-home.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54149" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/outdoor-patriotic-home.jpg" alt="outdoor patriotic home" width="400" height="533" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54149" class="wp-caption-text">Outdoor patriotic home</figcaption></figure>

<p style="text-align: center;">[ad#co-1]</p>
<div></div>
<h3>Dress Your Door</h3>
<p>Why not turn your door into a huge American flag! It is super easy and makes a big impact to neighbors passing by.  Before long the entire neighborhood will be gathered at your door to admire your handiwork.</p>
<p>Simply cover the door with a long panel of craft paper and adhere with double-stick tape. Then paint on your flag! If you dare to get messy, then let the kids get involved. You could even use scrunched up tissue paper for the stars for a cool 3D effect.</p>
<h3>Make a Yard Flag</h3>
<p>This is one for the kids, but Mom&#8217;s be warned it will get messy! Use an old piece of plywood (whatever size you want your flag to be, but remember you will need to hang it, so you won&#8217;t want it too heavy). Then have the kids dip their hands in either red, white or blue paint. Direct the kids to use their handprints to create the stars and stripes of the flag as in the image below. Allow to dry and then you can add chain and eyehooks to hang from your front porch or tree in your front yard.</p>
<figure id="attachment_54151" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54151" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/outdoor-patriotic-ideas-e1377948895245.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54151" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/outdoor-patriotic-ideas-e1377948895245.jpg" alt="outdoor patriotic ideas" width="500" height="372" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54151" class="wp-caption-text">Decorate your front porch in red, white and blue!</figcaption></figure>
<p>Voila, your home is fully Americanized and ready to greet all your Labor day guests. The great thing about these decorations? You can save them and reuse them again next year for your July 4th or Memorial Day celebrations!</p>

<h3><strong>1. Celebrate with a Cook Out</strong></h3>
<p>Labor Day party is a good occasion to say a proper goodbye to the bounty of fresh vegetables and fruits of the summer season. Throw on the grill whatever you can – juicy berries, sweet corn, sun-kissed tomatoes, and summertime favorites like ribs, steaks, lobster, or anything else.</p>
<p><strong>Bratwurst</strong> – The German heritage food is an all-time hit and tastes even more delicious when hot off the grill. Bratwursts, fresh buns, various toppings, and ketchup will make a killer combination. You can spice up the dish by serving it with pickles, savory mustard sauce, and caramelized onions.</p>
<p><strong>Fruits &amp; Vegetable</strong> – Grilled fruits and vegetable will make great Labor Day menu items. You can use them for making salads, desserts, and drinks too. For example, you can use the most popular tropical fruits banana to make a tasty salad item. Prepare this item by mixing up mashed bananas, chopped cherries, drained pineapple, sour cream, lemon juice, sugar, and whipped topping.</p>

<h3><strong>2. Fun Activities</strong></h3>
<p>A Labor Day party will remain incomplete without some gaming activities for both adults and kids. Letting the kids to choose their own games will be most fun and less stressful. However, organized group activities will not be a bad idea too.</p>
<p><strong>Games</strong> – Games are a very good way to create a festive mood. Any type of games like horseshoes, badminton, scrabble puzzle, softball, volleyball, making bubbles, or just playing with balls will allow everyone to have great summertime fun.</p>
<p><strong>Camping &amp; Hiking</strong> – Camping trips and day hikes are popular Labor Day activities. Pile the necessary stuffs into a few cars and take your guests to the desired place. Everyone should bring their own food and drinks in such trips. However, each of the hikers can bring a separate item and share with others.</p>

<p><strong>3. Arts &amp; Crafts</strong> – You can ask every guest to show off his/her hobbies. They can display whatever they are good at – dancing, singing, rapping, acting, mimicking, miming, etc. You can also arrange for small competitions like a drawing competition in which the best drawing will be rewarded. The Labor Day is often considered as the last chance to say goodbye to the long and lazy days of summer by partying out or making any outdoor activity. Make your last minute summer memories fun and pleasurable so that you can wind up the season with a smile on your face.</p>
