Memorial Day Party Ideas 2022
As the unofficial start of summer, a Memorial Day party should include everything we love about the season. Make it a cookout so you can spend time outside in the warm weather. The nature of the holiday makes your decor choice fairly simple: stick to red, white, and blue. Incorporate the American flag into your decorations whenever possible, like with flags or wreaths. If you have an American flag waving proudly at your home, remember that citizens are asked to display the flag at half-staff before noon on Memorial Day.
Decorations: Set the Scene
Paint Lawn Stars - The grass grows quickly in summer, which is perfect for this idea! Create a large cardboard cutout of a star and spray paint in red, white and blue. You’ll be left with red, white and blue stars on your lawn.
Make It a Luau - Nothing says summer like a party where people are wearing grass skirts, Hawaiian leis and colorful clothing. Use real pineapples as centerpieces and (fake) palm trees for decorating around the house or yard.
Hang a Mix of Streamers - Red, white and blue, of course! Add twinkling lights inside and out to really help your party sparkle.
Create a Tablescape - Place a white tablecloth on the table. Weave red and blue streamers together over top for a patriotic look.
Add Colorful Balloons - You can opt for bunches of red, white and blue or go with one color. Just remember a big bunch of balloons makes a bigger impact than random single balloons floating around. Another idea is to affix balloons to your garage door to look like the American flag.
Memorial Day is the real kickoff to the season of sun. Warmer temps mean time outside with family and friends, and what better way to celebrate than with the perfect Memorial Day party? Part patriotism, part summer fun, these ideas will help you throw the perfect bash to kick off summer.
