Plan Early - Labor Day weekend is a popular time to get married, so ceremony site and reception venues book up quickly. Be sure to secure your settings as early as possible.

Be sure to notify guests of your Labor Day event well in advance, and help them out by securing the room block at an affordable hotel. Consider doing some leg work to find cheaper airfare and alert your guests of potential deals.

All in the Details - Labor Day Wedding Ideas
Invitations & Stationery
- Add a picnic motif - such as flip flops, picnic basket, or insects (cute ones - like ladybugs, dragonflies or bumblebees) to your stationery suite

Location
- Get outdoors - typically mild weather makes Labor Day the perfect time to plan an outdoor wedding.

- Wave the flag - Along those lines, you can accent your day with American flags, but don't overdo it.
- Go casual - Labor Day weekend weddings lend themselves to a casual dcor scheme fitting of a backyard barbecue. Think checked table cloths, benches, and picnic tables.
Flowers
- Seasonal blooms - since labor day straddles the summer and fall seasons you can use both fall flowers and summer flowers.
- Stephanotis - the small white blooms look like stars, making them the perfect choice for a patriotic vibe.
Menu
- Spark up the grill - serve traditional Labor Day weekend picnic and grill fare like barbecue, burgers, and potato salad.
