What everyone looks forward to during the month of September is Labor Day weekend, which means a 3 day weekend for them. So, what better what to celebrate than with an all white party. Fashionably speaking, this is the last day to wear white jeans, pants or white. Therefore, you should celebrate with an all white party. Wedding and Party Network is here to give you the party tips you need to make your party a success.

Party Invitations – Your party invitations represent the theme of the event. Your guests will immediately see the tone through the party invitations. Therefore, create an elegant white party invitation that informs your guests to wear all white.

Party Decorations – This party is elegant with all the white accents, which are easy to find since all you have to focus on is white decor. Focus on finding clean, crisp white linens, white flowers, candles, lanterns and vases.

If you have these items around the house but in the wrong color, spray paint i. You can spray paint almost anything and it will make items go with the decor. Talk with your florist about creating gorgeous white centerpieces that will draw your guests attention to the elegance of the party.

Also, this party is great outdoors. So, grab up your chairs and place white towels and pillow on them to create a relaxing atmosphere. Don't forget the white curtains or sheets that you can hang outside to create a tent or help divide up parts of the yard. Don't forget to accent them with string lights to finish off the beautiful setting.

Party Menu – Are you asking yourself, how will I prepare a party menu that reflects the theme? It doesn't have to be white, of course. That would leave you very limited or give you such a variety of food that it wouldn't make sense.

So for starters, think of white cheese to serve, homemade potato chips, hummus and white pizza. These represent the party theme. However, also throw in some bruschetta, marinated olives, pita chips and a variety of breads and crackers.

For dessert, serve a variety of cheesecakes, vanilla bean cupcakes or angel food cake. Guests can pick their favorite dessert instead of just having a cake to eat. Along with desserts, don't forget about making the perfect pairings with the drinks. Water, white wine, infused vodkas or some refreshing lemonade all make great pairings.

Now that you have all the party essentials planned out, you can start inviting your guests. This party is a great way to end summer and spend great times with friends & family. Now, go and get your party whited out!

Tabletop Decor – Decorate your tables in full color. First, pick out a table-cloth and then add a table runner with some print on it. The print on top of the solid creates something fun on the table.

Use 3 tiered servers or stack your platter on a pretty vase.

What Are You Pouring? – The weather is still warm outside. So, serving refreshing drinks are a must! Serve what every type of drinks you like. Tea, lemonade, pina coladas, daiquiris or set up a bar where your guests can create their own favorite cocktail.
