Planning An Amazing Memorial Day Celebration

Memorial Day marks the start of summer and the end of the school year, but it actually marks the observance of our freedom and remembrance of the soldiers who died fighting for it. Therefore, Memorial Day is an occasion when you honor and respect all the men and women who dedicated their lives for our country. 

The best way to celebrate Memorial Day weekend is by throwing an amazing Memorial Day party. You can use the party tips suggested below to plan a memorable and amazing Memorial Day celebration for honoring everything that Memorial Day represents.

Party decoration ideas for Memorial Day celebration

Patriotism is the theme for any Memorial Day decoration and thus you must use red, white and blue colors in your theme.

The American flag: There is no better symbol of patriotism than the American flag. You can find flags with flag poles made for yards, picnics, decks and tailgate parties. However, while flying the flag, it's important to remember that it should fly half-mast until noon. 

Lights: You can use fairy lights of red, white and blue color, and string them to the trees and bushes. This will give a cool glow to your party area after the sun goes down. Additionally, you can add some elegance to your lighting decoration by hanging mini lanterns above the party area. 

Flowers: When making floral arrangements use red, white and blue colored flowers in glass vases. Place these vases around your house, and add a small flag to each vase.

Other decorations: Use red, white and blue colored tablecloths and tableware. Try to use cloth napkins instead of paper napkins, because they will add style to your decoration and won't blow away easily. 

Confetti: Many people buy patriotic confetti for their Memorial Day party. It's a great idea, but you must know that confetti never stays in one place and thus you should be ready to do plenty of clean up after the party.

Activities for Memorial Day celebration

Your celebration of Memorial Day is incomplete if you don't perform activities that will provide fun for your guests. Here are some great things to do at your Memorial Day party. 

Pool games: There are many pool games that you can plan to engage the kids attending your party. Some highly popular games among kids are Follow My Leader, Marco Polo, Chicken, etc. Choose the appropriate game depending on the size of your pool and age of the kids attending your party. 

Water fight: If you don't have a pool, then this is a great game that involves both action and fun bungee run from Xtreme Inflatables of LA. You can have a fight of water filled balloons by dividing your guests into two groups and giving each group the same number of water filled balloons. If you want more excitement, then you can provide water guns to your guests. However, it's important to tell your guests in advance about such a fight, so that they can bring extra clothes. 
Inflatables: Another fun option in the event you do not have a pool is to rent a water slide.  Xtreme Iflatables can supply a suitable rental.  You can view the selection online at www.xjumpsla.net.  

Outdoor sports: If you prefer to have a little sweat, then you can play games like badminton, soccer, basketball, etc. However, you must make sure that there is enough space to play these games, otherwise it would mean less play and more injuries. 

Conclusion

Memorial Day weekend is a great opportunity to spend some quality time with your family and friends. However, you must plan your Memorial Day celebration properly so that it becomes a memory to laugh about in the years to come.  Remember, contact Xtreme Inflatables for any party supplies you may need.
