Invited To A Labor Day Party? Psst...I Have The Perfect Gift Idea!

Go to your nearest Goodwill or Salvation Army or whatever thrift store.

Buy the ugliest, beat-up WHITE shoes.

Put them in a nice box with a bow, and enclose a card:

Happy Labor Day - I won’t be needing these for awhile and thought you might like to have them!

I am sure your host/hostess will be so honored…

I don’t get it.

It’s often considered a huge fashion faux pas to wear white shoes between Labor Day and Memorial Day. Giving such a “gift” would insinuate that your host/hostess not only doesn’t mind worn out hand-me-downs, but is gauche enough to break this “rule.”

I probably would not get invited to any more parties if I tried this!

Why am I reminded of the movie Serial Mom?

Woo! Now THAT’s a good one. Oooh, my sides.

Who throws Labor Day parties?

Around here, the correct term is Labor Day bash…BYOB
