Memorial Day is a classic and sentimental American holiday; one that always should come complete with some warm, meaningful handmade banners.
A handmade banner for a Memorial Day party could include an image that reminds guests of the reasons behind this sentimental holiday. This could be a hand painted picture of specific war heroes (including Douglas MacArthur, Ulysses S. Grant, Molly Pitcher, etc.), or more general etchings of people in various military uniforms. Whichever option the host chooses, she should make sure that all images portrayed are dignified and reverent; and more than anything, they should make guests remember those who have sacrificed so much for our country and its freedom.
A more basic, less time consuming homemade banner for a Memorial Day festivity could boast a sedate background color such as ivory, gold, light silver, or lavender, and a message written in flowing script that reads “Happy Memorial Day” or “Remember.” Guests should be touched by this tender expression, and by the simple but elegant artistry of the banner itself. The attachment of some decorative party supplies—such as small, subtle floral stickers and paper flowers (forget me nots would be especially appropriate), yellow ribbons (a classic sign of remembrance among military families), and commemorative pins that bear the insignias of various branches of the military.
Celebrate this Memorial Day with a celebration that honors our nation’s veterans; especially one which comes complete with some beautiful and respectful handmade banners. Celebrate and remember this Memorial Day!
