Memorial Day Party - ideas for a great party on a tight budget

Last year we hosted a Memorial Day Party with some friends and their families. 

Here are a few of the pictures....as I prepare for this years' party.

 I am going with an Old Fashion Picnic Party Theme.

We had cut the guest list down a lot this year (so hard to invite everyone every time 8(  )

My ever changing, budget friendly, chalkboard frame!  I think I use this

is 80% of my parties!  I found a frame without the glass as Homegoods

a few years ago. Had the hubby cut some board to fit into the frame

used chalkboard paint and there you have it! 

IKEA Double Sided Frames only $ .99 each

Best $ 1.00 spent!

Decided to be more "Earth friendly" this year at our parties

and we will be serving water out of large pitchers instead 

of the plastic bottles.

Flowers can add a lot to your table decor and some you can find 

right in your backyard this time of year!

Another great investment.  We have used this hotdog roller A LOT!

And love that it is self serve so my hubby and I can "host" the party

instead of standing at the grill.

Probably ONE of the MOST economical desserts.

S'more Pops.

EZ too!

Marshmallow into a stick

Melt your chocolate

and dip into crushed graham crackers.

That's it!
