Memorial Day THEME |
 |
Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day was set aside each day to honor American Civil War soldiers who had lost their lives in battle, by decorating their graves. The holiday is celebrated the last Monday each May all over the nation, with Memorial Day parties of various types.
In the year 1966, Waterloo, New York was named the official birthplace of Memorial Day, and in current times, the official Memorial Day Celebration is held at Arlington National Cemetery, where the acting Vice President of The United States places a memorial wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier. Though many people still include grave decoration in their Memorial Day Celebrations, many people celebrate in a variety of other ways as well, and various types of Memorial Day Parties are held all over the country.
When families gather together to celebrate what is, for many the first real holiday of the season, this year will be, for most Americans, especially poignant. Consider incorporating flower arrangements into at least a small part of the cook out or barbecue and spending time in the fun and sun, to honor the soldiers throughout time who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and taking them to local cemeteries to place upon the graves.
In the mean time, even if you don't have a grill or a pool, you can still enjoy the health benefits of grilling and the wonderful flavors we all enjoy, by taking large clay or terracotta flower pots, filling them approximately half full of sand, placing a layer of hot coals on top, and laying skewered kabobs of meats, veggies, or fruits that have been seasoned and marinated over the pots until the food it done, and enjoy the taste of outdoors at your Memorial Day Party!

Memorial Day Cake Ideas
Try doing something different, but something people will likely enjoy for a Memorial Day holiday cake. For example try an apple spice dump cake, all that is needed is the ingredients and any party supplies. Here is the list of ingredients; package of spice cake mix, 2 cans of apple pie filling, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, white sugar, butter and chopped pecans. Having gathered those items needed to make the cake, it is time for the directions. Consider some toppers for the cake such as; a picture of family members, or some favorite saying they had and write it on the cake in icing. A simple flag on the cake to remember those who have been lost. Now the directions, get the oven preheated to 350 degrees and pour the cans of apple pie filling into a 9 x 13 inch rectangular pan. Next take a small bowl and mix together the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and sugar, take and sprinkle over the pie filling. Ready for the next step, pour the dry box of cake mix over the apples and dot with butter, scatter nuts on top. Bake in the over for 45 minutes to an hour or until the cake is brown on top and shows bubbling on the sides.

Memorial Day Party Music Play Lists
Much as its name indicates, Memorial Day is the ultimate holiday for remembrance and reflection; and what better way to celebrate such a special day than with some songs that will make even the most dour party guest cry, dance, and—of course--remember.
A Memorial Day party play list features tunes that explore the magic of memories, especially as they apply to important events in our nation’s history:
Auld Lang Syne by Kenny G
White Cliffs of Dover by Kate Smith
God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood
Times of Your Life by Paul Anka
The Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key
When Johnny Comes Marching Home by the Mitch Miller Chorus
Through the Years by Kenny Rogers
Memories by Elvis Presley
I Remember You by Skid Row
Of course, guests will particularly remember a Memorial Day party that boasts a full range of party supplies. A rubber or carved facsimile of a famous memorial, such as the Lincoln Monument, would work well. Memorial Day party colors should be subtle and subdued, and should include black, gold, silver and dark red.
A scene setter that depicts an old town square or historical salon would provide an ideal backdrop for a Memorial Day festivity, which should invite all guests—not only to party hearty—but to remember and reflect.
