This party blogger has been listening to Gloria Estefan all day (come on shake your body baby do that Conga) and has had a wonderful Labor Day party planning vision: Labor Day Cuban style. Dig up your old Miami Sound Machine albums, decorate your party space with bright, bold colors and celebrate Labor Day the Cuban way.
Hey Penelope,
My girl friends and I are all single and 25-ish and sick to death of reading about family fun and children’s parties. Can you give us an idea for a fun party to throw this Labor Day that doesn’t involve sippy cups or three-legged races? Thanks.

It happens to all of us. We begin the summer saying I'm going to throw a really great party this summer and we end the summer wondering where all the time went. If you've got young kids, you know how crazy it can be trying to synchronize sports and day camps and keep them entertained while avoiding the incessant clanging of the Ice Cream Man. I swear, he follows me whenever I'm with Maggie and William. I think my husband gives him my charted route for the day, just to keep me on my toes.
One of the great things about a Labor Day Weekend party is that it's one last excuse to fire up the blender or muddle some mint and whip up your favorite summer drinks. If, instead of planning a larger-scale party like a cookout or a clambake, you're more in the mood to host a simple Labor Day cocktail party this Labor Day Weekend, MyPunchbowl.com has some great party invitation templates for you to use. We've covered the summer cocktail basics for your Labor Day party planning needs with online party invitations for everything from mojitos to margaritas to delicious cosmopolitans. Here are a few of my favorites for the occasion:
