A party for Memorial Day is an excellent idea. Decorations will be in red, white and blue: balloons, streamers, and flags. Take this theme throughout and cover the table tops with red and white and blue and white checkered linens. Your party favors could be small flags and you could also use these for prizes for your games and activities. Here are some fun ideas for outdoor activities and games: a small neighborhood parade with family friends, dogs pulling kids in wagons, kids on bikes, old cars etc. You could then have a carnival for your Memorial Day Party. Here are some food ideas that would lend themselves to this type of back yard party and, of course, barbequing the meat items will make them taste deeeeeeeelicous: tri-tip, chicken breasts, hot dogs and hamburgers and for side dishes try, with corn on the cob, potato salad and Cole slaw. For beverages, sodas, beer, and wine will please everyone. A dessert bar would be fun or you could have an old fashion food carts with cotton candy, churros and popcorn. These fun ideas will add the finishing touch to an already great party.
