Getting a Labor Day holiday is like getting a chance to relive the Fourth of July. Both patriotic in nature, these holidays inspire friends to gather in the summer sun and throw back good brews while noshing on barbecue favorites. We love everything about the holiday that says goodbye to summer, and before you know it, the day will be here and you want to be ready.
It is easy to forget the little things when planning an event. Sure, the space is reserved, the decorations are up, and the mood music is set. Heck, you even remembered to get all of the ingredients for your signature barbecue sauce. But do you have the bakeware to make your cherry tomato tart or the dishware to present your tofu mango salsa The little things make a huge difference when hosting, and something as small as forgetting the skewers can put you into panic mode.
Instead of standing the middle of your backyard with the panic practically dripping off you, make sure you're armed and ready with the right tools. Being prepared allows the host or hostess to enjoy the party themselves — after all, you did all of the work, so make sure you get to enjoy a little of the fun.
