10 Essential Memorial Day Party Supplies

10 Essential Memorial Day Party Supplies

Milena Kukurekovic

Memorial Day is when those who died on active services are remembered, usually on the last Monday in May. It was observed on 30th May from 1868 to 1970. It is originally known as Decoration Day. People make it a point to honor this day to the military officers who sacrifice their lives for the sake of their country. 

Because there is nothing more essential and more sacrificing than risking your life for your country. This day is honored to officers, and the day is honored to their family members and friends.

Freedom doesn't come easily. It demands sacrifices. We must celebrate this day for the armed forces' sacrifices. Everyone has a different way of commemorating events. Other cities celebrate this day in their own unique ways. 

Some celebrate this day by hosting parades, while others do this by arranging activities related to this day. Some send patriotic and loving messages to their families, while others host parties and invite their friends and family. 

Any kind of celebration you are going through, add some Memorial Day quotes on the printed menus. 

As it is said, and I quote, "The Blood of a Patriot Is actually the Seed of Freedom's tree," Thomas Campbell. 

Are you going to throw a party at this special event? Or inviting family and friends? So, wait, you need to know about the essential things for the party. Because if the party is not well organized, it can never be an epic party. We have gathered a few essential Memorial Day party supplies for you. So, give them a read and have a memorable party.

Nothing works without a pretty theme, no matter how lavish your party is. Have a patriotic theme to represent Memorial Day and make it stand out. Have some themed balloons or props displaying country flags, loved messages, or patriotic messages written or engraved on them. Patriotic themed dresses would be the showstoppers. 

10. Some Miscellaneous To Keep With You

You might not expect to have things at the party, but they must be in the backpacks. It's easier to keep things with you instead of finding them in the rush hour.

Tips To Remember

  • Décor, dresses, and table setting, make sure to align with your central theme.  
  • Honor your guests by dedicating them to a few songs/skits. 
  • Goodbye to your guests with a thanksgiving card.

Memorial Day should be highly valued to remember the fallen ones and pay tribute to their families since they also contribute to this country by sending their loved ones apart. Memorial Day brings all the nation together despite any government and political issues. The nation remembers and celebrates this day as an example to others.
