Memorial Day Decorations
Are you gearing up for Memorial Day Weekend? It means summer is starting, pools are opening, and bonfires are rising! So start off your summer in style with some JAM products for that party that lasts all weekend!
Get patriotic and decorate with our red, white and blue tableware, ideas, and products!
How to make your Memorial Day decorating stand out:
Go for a striped tablecloth or place mat. Not ready to commit to a coat of paint for your picnic table? Our blue and white striped wrapping paper can easily make a fabulous table runner or cut into rectangles for simple place mats. The stripes add a vibrant but casual look to your table!
Create a garland out of scrap paper. A simple way to add a lot of red white and blue pride is a paper banner or garland. I used mostly scrap paper to put together this collaged garland. Use your creativity to make different patterns or even our star punch for easy pieces.
Go for colored table ware. Don't forget to pick up plates, cups, and napkins in your color scheme! Try our party pack assortments!
Confetti it up. One of the easiest ways to decorate a table and add color is confetti. Our star punch is ideal for your Memorial Day table!
Add a detail. Punch up your cups with a custom star band or label. Here I used the star punch and a thin strip of blue paper to add that extra punch. You could use these as name tags as well so no one loses their drink!
[ We'd also thank all of the troops and their families for their strength, courage and support. We hope everyone has a very happy Memorial Day! ]
