How will you be celebrating Memorial Day this year? Hopefully with cool drinks, yummy food, and great friends and family. Below are 5 tips for throwing a Memorial Day party.

• Outdoor Ceiling Fans: Keep cool with outdoor ceiling fans. Summer is right around the corner, so the days and evenings can get pretty hot.
• Bright Outdoor Pillows: Have last season's pillows faded over time. Picking up a few new pillows can really add life to your outdoor decor.
• Outdoor Lighting: Nothing sets the mood more than outdoor lighting. String lights, patio and porch lights are great outdoor options.
• Decorative Vases: If you are setting an outdoor dining table, don't forget about the flowers.
• Table linens: A quick fix to cover up a worn table is with a new table linen.
