With Memorial Day just around the corner, and entertaining becoming a thing again (yay!), it's time to get ready for some company! Patriotic holidays often take decor too far, and things can become cheesy pretty quickly. To help, we've put together a few tips and tricks for you to strike the perfect balance this Memorial Day.

Food

Arguably one of the most important elements of an event, the food you serve on Memorial Day should be fun and festive, but still delicious. You don't need to take the theme too far - just a few red, white, and blue treats do the trick. A few of our favorite easy options? A charcuterie board with some star-shaped cheese, or a berry trifle! Mix in some classic American bites, and you're good to go.

Beverages

You can never really go wrong with a cocktail, and it's simple to make your signature drink on-theme and tasty. One we're loving right now is a berry spritz - just add berries and a fun straw to this classic cocktail and you're done! Plus, it's super easy to make non-alcoholic, as well.

Tableware

The key to a beautiful event is always in the table setting. Instead of going for the typical paper plates, opt for a more subtle, pastel palette or try a print, like gingham. Whatever direction you take your table in, be sure to keep it simple. Your guests will love the chic twist! Check out a few of our favorite patriotic products to get a look you'll love:
