Party Guide
Memorial Day, the unofficial start of SUMMER, is one of our favorite holidays. We love the nice weather, time with family and friends, patriotism, grilling, and of course the day off doesn’t hurt…
On Memorial Day, we love throwing a party with our closest family and friends to celebrate our country, remember fallen soldiers, and kick off the season. To do this, we’ll need some pretty great decorations, party supplies, and of course activities!
Here’s what we’re stocking up on in preparation for an epic weekend celebration.
DECORATIONS
The first step in party prep? Decorations. We’re going patriotic for this holiday, and the best thing about these decorations is we can use them again on Independence Day! Stock up on flags of all sizes, buy or make some cute paper fans, and drape some garland to really set the tone.
1. Patriotic Hanging Fans ($8.99)
2. Small American Flags ($4.99)
3. Patriotic Tassel Garland ($4.78)
FOOD + DRINK
Next up? The noms… We’ll be grilling up delicious Burgers, topping with Sweet + Smoky BBQ Sauce, enjoying a healthy Red Quinoa and Mango Salad, and sipping on some tasty wines.
Be sure to pack all the paper goods you need if you plan to have your party in the park. We love this Freezable Picnic Tote for transporting all of our food and drinks.
1. Chevron Red Dinner Plates ($2.99)
2. Chevron Blue Luncheon Napkins ($2.25)
3. Red, White, and Booze Can Cooler ($5.00)
4. Hamburger Wood Cutlery Utensils ($5.59)
5. Watermelon Keg Tapping Kit ($20.00)
6. Vacances Portable Barbecue ($69.00)
FUN + GAMES
The last and probably most fun portion of the party is the activities. Outdoor games, whether part of an Olympics-style competition or just for fun, are a great way to spend your time outdoors and work off some of those calories. We love pool volleyball, water balloon dodgeball, kites, and more.
