It’s just about time to welcome summer with a red, white and blue Memorial Day celebration! With Memorial Day right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start planning the menu and activities, and to create the patriotic decorations! Here are some of favorite inspirations for a star-spangled Memorial Day party.

 

Serve radiant red drinks, or beverages in red cups, with patriotic straws and finish with place cards! We love this wonderfully refreshing way to welcome guests.

Get ready for an overdose of adorable prints, courtesy of Sydney based shop Seal Design Studio! I absolutely love their beautiful mix of colors and shapes, especially in their series of posters inspired by Beatles songs, including “Lovely Rita Meter Maid” featured below. You can purchase the prints seen here as well as many others in their Etsy shop. They also have a fantastic Tumblr, which you can follow here.
