How to Throw the Perfect Memorial Day Party

Memorial Day is a time for us to remember and thank those who risk their lives fighting for our country, It’s also considered the annual kickoff of summer. If you’re celebrating Memorial Day this year by hosting a party for friends and family, here are a few preparations to consider:

Decorations - Show your patriotism this holiday by going red, white, and blue! Inside the home, switch up the color of your candles and pillows, and set red and white carnation flowers on the dining room table. On your outdoor patio, place tiny flags in a mason jar filled with patriotic flowers and hang a large American-themed ribbon on your front door (the first thing guests will see when you greet them).

Rearrange seating - Create a more cozy setting for your Memorial Day party moving your indoor and outdoor furniture around. For example, if you have a love seat and a large arm chair, turn them inwards towards each other to make it easy for guests to converse.

Buffet style setup - Memorial Day parties should be casual. So set up a buffet style food arrangement where your guests can come back for seconds and thirds!

Tidy up - Last but not least, remember to tidy up the home before your event - guests will feel much more welcome. Plus, you’ll open up more space for all your party necessities.
