Memorial Day Party

While honoring our fallen heroes this Memorial day, why not do it in style and show your guests your creative side?  Decorate your home in red white and blue, make some DIY crafts and get creative in the kitchen with Patriotic desserts that will make your guests proud to be an American.  I searched high and low on the best websites and blogs to find just the right centerpieces, table-scapes, desserts and decorations for you to consider for your gathering.   The creative possibilities I found  has me giddy...and I hope you will find inspiration here that will have YOU giddy too.

Make this easy fabric wreath to hang on your front door.  It will be the first thing that your guests see and will be a conversation piece when you tell them how easy and inexpensive it was to make.

This is a fun way to dress up your party table. I just love the American flag inside the empty coke bottles and the paper cones for keeping the popcorn tidy.

I just love the color coordination here and the elegance of using heavy wine glasses with country dishes. And what an easy centerpiece.  Flowers and flags in a basket.  This is easy peasy folks!

This little country inspired patriotic table-scape is just killing me with cuteness.   I just love the pop of color the lemons add to the vase and all the American faves like chocolate chip cookies, chocolate dipped ice cream cones and lemonade are so easy and inexpensive to add to any dessert table.
