1. Barbecue!

There’s something for everyone to make on a grill. If you like a hot dog, you can have one! If you’re a steak kind of person, the grill has got you covered. You can even barbecue veggie and vegan burgers for anyone who wants one. It’ll be fun!

2. Break out the badminton net

Nobody cares how good you are at hitting the birdie over the net. It’s just fun to get together with your family, laugh, and have a good time. Who knows? Maybe you’ll discover a talent you never knew you had.

3. Watch a summer movie

Kick off your summer the movie way. We recommend movies like One Crazy Summer, The Way, Way Back, and Meatballs. Check out the trailers below!

4. Make some lemonade

It’s basically sunshine in a cup. What says, “summer” more than sunshine in a cup?

5. Go for a drive

Roll down those windows and blast a summertime, good feeling tune. You’ll feel great, and you’ll really believe summer is finally here!

6. Put out some patriotic decorations

It’ll be a great way to practice for the Fourth of July. Make red, white, and blue pinwheels for people to carry around. You’ll be the most festive party around.

7. Make cute party invitations

It’s not too late to pass them out around the neighborhood! Play up the red, white, and blue once again here. People won’t be able to resist something that looks so cute!

8. Make an American flag cake

Bake a yellow cake and cover it in white frosting. Use strawberries as the stripes and blueberries for the stars. It will be a hit to look at and even better to have on your plate.

9. Try a red, white, and blue cocktail

You can make one with grenadine, peach schnapps, and blue Curacao.

10. Make it a potluck

Trying things from all your friends would be fun… plus, it takes some of the cooking stress away from you.

But above all, have the best Memorial Day celebration ever!
