Memorial Day Planning Tips

Assign Grill Masters

Create specific grilling time slots so someone is always manning the grill and there is no confusion about who brings the propane.

Do Not Forget the Basics

Add slots for ice, coolers, folding chairs, tables, and trash bags β€” the essentials that everyone assumes someone else will bring.

Plan Kids' Activities

Include slots for people to bring lawn games, water toys, or run an activity station to keep kids entertained.

Coordinate Entertainment

Assign someone to bring a speaker and playlist, or organize a rotation of lawn games and outdoor activities.
