17 Red, White, and Blue Memorial Day Decorations
Updated: May 24, 2023
Kick off a star-spangled summer with these festive, inexpensive patriotic decorations.
You don’t need to know the full history of Memorial Day to know that this national holiday honors members of the military who dedicated themselves to serving our country. It’s also the first long weekend of the summer, and that means warm-weather celebrations of all kinds—barbecues get fired up, beach parking lots fill up, and fireworks may be set off. If you’re feeling festive—even if you’re still playing it safe during the pandemic, these Memorial Day decorations will go a long way toward making the day feel patriotic.
Patriotic Star Streamers Banner
$9.99
Cute, simple, and fun, these patriotic decorations drape right over a doorway for a more festive walk in and out of the house, or just wherever you have a clear wall. One package contains eight garlands that span a little over six feet. Money-saving bonus: You can reuse this same piece for your Fourth of July decorations.
Hanging Garlands
$7.59
These garlands can also festoon a doorway or hang over a table. The circles make the design more subtle than the stars on the garland above, so it’s great if you want to just dip a toe in festive décor. The garlands are about six and a half feet long and come with only four pieces, so consider adding two to your cart.
American Barn Star
$24.99
A classic patriotic decoration that you can hang all year round for that all-American look. Each star in the set of three is 12×12 inches, making them a lot bigger than they look. If you’d prefer just one star, they are sold individually in additional colors, but buying a set will certainly give you more bang for your buck.
Red, White, and Blue Lights
$18.99
String lights have a way of creating instant ambiance. These red, white, and blue LED lights are bright, durable, and use 70 percent less electricity than normal light bulbs. And they have a lifespan of 15,000 hours. That means you can leave them hanging all summer long for glowing evenings with family over the fire pit.
Red White Blue Felt Ball Garlands
$16.99
These patriotic puff balls make perfect backyard party decorations. They add a festival atmosphere to your space but remain elegant and subdued in the background. Drape the garlands over a fireplace or mirror, or just string them along a fence in your backyard. One string of 30 balls is around 6 feet in length and can be used many times over due to its durable felt material.
2-Pack Inflatable Serving Bar and Buffet Cooler
$16.99
Whether you’re hosting guests or just chilling with the family, keep your drinks cool in this ice-filled blow-up pool. It’s waterproof, portable, and lightweight, making it a much easier option than a heavy cooler. You can even bring it to a park for a picnic or barbecue because it’s so easy to transport.
