With Labor Day around the corner, it is almost the unofficial end of summer (the official end would be the Fall Equinox, September 22). You couldn’t ask for a more perfect weekend to throw a party! Here are some ideas for some feel good hits of summer!

“Bicycle Race” Queen- “Fat Bottomed Girls”- inspired invitations, bike trick competition, creative bike basket awards, bike bingo, bike bunco (with bike sunglasses as prizes), bike picnic baskets and of course, a viewing of Breaking Away.

Picnic Theme – invite looks like basket with gingham, traditional gingham (or non-traditional ‘hot coals’) blanket, fried chicken, potato salad, build your own sandwich contest, watermelon seed-spitting contests, wine (i really love those wine glass holders), gotta have a condiment gun, and lawn bowling.

Wine-tasting- invite on a wine label, decoupage wine quotes on guests’ glasses (take home gift), lights in wine bottles for soft lighting, Wine scorecards and journals, message in a bottle wine ‘corks,’ and the best kind of wine-differentiating charms.

What is your favorite kind of themed get together? Halloween doesn’t count!
