The end of Summer is near and with the welcomed Fall season right around the corner we have plenty of opportunity to celebrate! So, Wedding and Party Network is here to give you great reasons to celebrate this September!
September 1st: LABOR DAY – Labor Day is nearly 100 years old and is a day to celebrate the value and dignity of work. It is a day to honor how hard work is vital and deeply rooted in our American heritage. However, as far as myself and my fellow neighbors are concerned – the best part of Labor day is a 3 day weekend!
- Throw a big bash to end the Summer with your friends and family! Take one last trip to the beach for a beach picnic, throw party at your local park or BBQ in the back yard. This might be the last chance this year to do so!
September 13th: GRANDPARENT'S DAY – In 1973, Marian McQuade from West Virginia, made Grandparents Day official. It's intended to show respect to the elderly in our lives. A day to say thank you to our grandparents for all that they do.
- The official flower for Grandparents Day is "forget-me-nots". So, celebrate by sending flowers! Have a small get together with your family and close friends to celebrate your loving grandparents and don't forget the forget-me-nots!
September 19th: ROSH HASHANAH – Roshanah is a Jewish holiday celebrating the New Year. It is a day to look over your accomplishments and to make new resolutions for the next year.
- Celebrate with family and friends by bringing in the new year together. Hold a late night dinner party featuring pomegranates (A Rosh Hashanah custom) and Apples dipped in honey. Challah is a round loaf of bread that signifies the circle of life. Your dinner feast will welcome good memories and fun stories to share with your guests.
September 22nd: FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN – Fall has arrived! It is the day of the year when the sun crosses the celestial equator moving southward.
- Fall is perfect for spending time outside, since the heat is calming down and it's not too cold. Plan a fall picnic with bobbing for apples, three-legged races and bonfires! Who doesn't love a good bonfire with friends, family and toasted marshmallows?
