Are you considering staying home over the upcoming Labor Day weekend? Holidays are a fun time to get away. But if you are on a tight budget or just want to stay close to home, you can easily make the weekend fun for you and your family. If you are searching for inspiration, check out the following stay-at-home ideas for Labor Day weekend.
- Backyard Picnic and BBQ: Invite your family, friends, and neighbors for a backyard picnic. Grill hot dogs, hamburgers, and all your favorites! Set up a picnic area in your backyard. Enjoying each other’s company makes the best memories.
- Movie Marathon: Pick a theme and have a movie marathon all weekend. Serve special treats, and popcorn or order pizza with your favorite films or TV shows.
- Cooking Challenge: A long holiday weekend is the perfect time to try something new. Bake or cook together. Try out new recipes, make homemade meals, or have a cooking challenge with family members.
- DIY Projects: Use your 3-day holiday weekend to cross off some of your bigger projects on your to-do list. Start painting, cleaning out the garage, decluttering closets, or other small home improvements.
- Get Crafty: Pull out the crafty materials that you have been hoarding and make something. Halloween and Christmas will be here before you know it.
- Host a Board Game Night: Invite your friends and family to a game night. Dust off your favorite board games and have an evening of friendly competition. Order pizza, serve snacks, and enjoy classic games.
- Outdoor Games: Play outdoor games like frisbee, badminton, or volleyball. Outdoor games are a great source of entertainment for BBQs and backyard picnics.
- Host a Bonfire: If safe and allowed (check rules and regulations if you are in a dry area), have a small bonfire in your backyard for a cozy evening. Cook S’mores and enjoy a night under the stars.
- Virtual Tour: Get cozy and explore museums, historical exhibits, or art galleries online.
- Read and Relax: Stay in your pajamas and spend the weekend diving into a pile of books you’ve been wanting to read.
Remember, the key is to relax, enjoy yourself, and make the most of the long Labor Day weekend!
