Ten June: Memorial Day Par-tay

Hi friends! Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!! Believe it or not, Memorial Day is just around the corner. That means summer is almost here! And I'm so excited because David and I are throwing a Memorial Day pool party for a bunch of our friends. I've been doing a little searching online for some cute party ideas and I just had to share some of the adorable things I've found.

This adorable Memorial Day themed party from Hostess With the Mostess just blew me away. I'm in love.

This website is incredible- they give a Memorial Day themed menu, decor, drink ideas and even free printables. Love, love, love!

Here are a few other ideas that I bookmarked as inspiration for the party.

Are any of you throwing a Memorial Day party? If so, share any good patriotic or summer inspired party ideas that you might have!

Also, you can find me today over here at Carmel's blog, Our Fifth House, dishing on some things I've learned from blogging! Stop by and say hi!

Oh my gosh, she is just amazing. Those hot dog containers are amazing - add a really cute touch to the party. For 4th of July I normally do a jello flag cake, but I really like the idea of those mini-cupcakes.

Also, I am SO excited for a Monday off of work. SO needed!

Seriously. Sometimes I just feel like I 'fail' when I see things like that! Hahahaha ... So fun.

I'm actually featuring the last craft in a post later this week. :) Great minds, and all that ... Hope you've had a super weekend!

Love Hostess with the Mostess, also check out Kara's Party Ideas, not sure if you have ever looked at her blog. FYI - Party City is selling some Martha Stewart pinwheels that are VERY similiar, if not the same as the ones you have shown. Check out my blog sometime for some future party ideas! Keep up the great work!
