With Memorial Day right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start planning the menu and activities, and to create the patriotic decorations! Here are some of favorite inspirations for a star-spangled Memorial Day party.

 

Serve radiant red drinks, or beverages in red cups, with patriotic straws and finish with place cards! We love this wonderfully refreshing way to welcome guests.

 

 

Complete each place setting with a miniature American flag and a red, white and blue napkin to bring an extra splash of color to the table.

 

 

Wrap these patriotic printables around treats and drinks to tie your Memorial Day theme together.

 

 

Decorate ice cream cones with red, white and blue sprinkles and set up an ice cream station for your guests to cool off with their favorite flavors!

 

 

We love these easy to make fruit skewers for a sweet and healthy Memorial Day treat. Use raspberries or strawberries, blueberries and bananas for vibrant colors!

 

 

These printable paper pinwheels are adorable, summery party favors for both kids and adults.

 

 

How will you be celebrating Memorial Day this year?
