Creative Memorial Day Party Ideas
Long holiday weekends mean more time to spend soaking up the sun and celebrating with friends and family. As the unofficial start of the summer season and a day to honor those who died while serving the United States military, Memorial Day is a great time to get out of town or celebrate in your own backyard. Here are some ways your friends and family can celebrate this Memorial Day weekend and kick off summer right! Rent a Boat What better way to enjoy the beautiful weather than soaking up the sun on a boat. If you’re lucky enough to live near water, renting a boat should be a breeze! You can float down a river in Pittsburgh or hit Lake Erie for the day. Whether you rent a luxury boat or a more low-key fishing boat, the point is to relax with friends and family. Rent a Pittsburgh Pontoon boat here! Host a Backyard BBQ Nothing screams Memorial Day quite like a backyard barbeque party. It is the perfect time to heat up that grill and cook burgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken, corn on the cob, ribs, mac n cheese and more! Your guests are sure to be full and satisfied! Set Up a Hot Dog Bar If a huge backyard barbeque isn’t your thing, host a party with a hot dog bar! A hot dog with all the toppings is hard to beat as a summer staple. Grill some quality dogs and let your guests choose from an array of toppings. Not only is a hot dog bar a cheap and simple party idea, but it’s also a great way to please those picky eaters! Pool Party If you aren’t lucky enough to have your own pool, beg or bribe your way into using one that belongs to a family member or friend. If all else fails, consider renting an Airbnb house with a pool for a mini staycation. Pool parties are a stress-free option since the pool is the main attraction -- no need to worry about decorations or party games. Host a BYOB Party If you’re the type of person that likes to celebrate the holiday with a cocktail, hosting a BYOB party may be a great idea! All guests are required to bring an alcoholic drink of choice like craft beers, festive cocktails, jello shots… you name it! A BYOB party is a fun way to enjoy new drinks with friends! Plan a Picnic Memorial Day doesn’t always have to be a big shindig! Sometimes a simple gathering with loved ones, taking the time to reflect on the significance of the day, is all you need. Make it easy with pre-cut sandwiches, fruit and desserts from the grocery store. Host a Lawn Games Extravaganza! Guests will be sure to love your Lawn Game Extravaganza! Split up into teams for fun lawn games like cornhole, wiffleball, volleyball and kan-jam. You can even create some fun lawn games of your own or find new ones on Pinterest. If you want to go the extra mile you and your team can dress in a color or theme to really stir up the competition. Be sure to have a fun prize for your winners and take lots of pictures! Kick back and relax this upcoming Memorial Day weekend and use some of our creative party ideas to really wow your guests!
