Patriotic Memorial Day Backyard BBQ Party This is what Julie shared about the event- “Memorial Day weekend in Texas is often filled with pool parties, park celebrations and BBQ’s!!! We loved putting together this backyard BBQ party, pulling from Americana concepts as our inspiration. The table backdrop was created by covering a thin piece of plywood with weathered wood grain paper from Shindigz. The 18 inch metal stars were added in a red, white and blue pattern. We layered a denim tablecloth to anchor the table, then layered with a vintage white and red striped table runner for added depth. Snacks included popcorn served in individual cones, Cracker’s Jacks, and mini cherry pies. Blueberry lemonade spritzer was served in personalized paper cups for guests and as a take-home-treat, personalized gumball tubes were displayed in a galvanized tin. Guests enjoyed traditional backyard BBQ fare; hamburgers, hot dogs, salads and more seated in the garden. Tables were covered in burlap linens, personalized with patriotic paper runners. Each guest’s chair back was decorated using mini-red paper fans and centerpieces were custom created patriotic wood centerpieces topped with American flags. After dusk, guests had fun lighting up the night with gold star shaped sparklers.”
