Usher in the summer by throwing a Memorial Day barbeque! Long recognized as the official start of the season, Memorial Day is synonymous with everybody’s favorite backyard get-together.
More importantly, Memorial Day is our national holiday to commemorate those who perished while serving our country. So as you enjoy the day’s festivities, be sure to remember those who have gone before us. Display your patriotism by flying a flag and decorate with the colors of the day - red, white, and blue.
Preparing for your Memorial Day celebration should be simple and carefree, right down to the invitations. Looking for a design that fits that description, check out LCI’s Slim Layered Kits.

With its slim shape and translucent vellum overlay, this invitation is very attractive. Select a kit from our handpicked combinations offered in an assortment of colors. Or if you’re feeling creative, choose a color combination of your own from our selection of custom colors. How about red, white, and blue?
Everyone loves a barbeque that features hot dogs, hamburgers, marinated chicken, and ribs grilled to perfection, so be sure to have these on the menu. Garden and fruit salads are always a big hit – wow your guests with a patriotic fruit salad made of watermelon, white peaches, and blueberries. And don’t forget plenty of mouth-watering desserts.
Decorate your picnic table with a red gingham table cloth. Put out red, white, and blue plastic utensils and cups, along with flag-themed napkins and paper plates.
Should Mother Nature reward you with beautiful weather, be prepared for lots of outside activities. Bats and balls for softball or wiffle ball, Frisbees, horseshoes, and a net for badminton or volley ball. Murky or unusually cool weather? Head inside for indoor fun. Have lots of board games at the ready or pre-select some DVDs for movie watching.
Keep your Memorial Day barbeque simple and fun while rolling out the summer with a bang!
