This year, paper plates and plastic forks aren’t cutting it for Memorial Day tables. This year, skip the same old red-white-and-blue clichés and set a table that feels festive, stylish, and anything but basic. Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, a family picnic, or an exciting rooftop party, here are some fresh ways to elevate your Memorial Day table with ANNOVA.
🇺🇸 1. Go Bold with Flatware
Nothing wakes up a table like statement flatware. ANNOVA’s USA flag flatware brings patriotic spirit with a unique, modern edge. It's functional, unique, and instantly sets the mood, no flag themed plates required.
Tip: Pair it with neutral or white plates so the flatware steals the show.
🎨 2. Use Color in a Smarter Way
Instead of going full red-white-and-blue everything, try layering in pops of patriotic colors. Think deep navy colored napkins, a crisp white, ironed out, tablecloth, and a few red florals or raspberry and blueberries berries to tie it all together. You’ll get the theme — without the tackiness.
🕯️ 3. Mix Textures for a Cozy Vibe
Are you hosting on a picnic table? Add linen runners. Patio table? Try woven placemats. Mixing textures gives your table a more intentional, layered look, and makes even casual meals feel like a special occasion.
🍹 4. Set Up a Stylish Drink Station
Enter: the mini tabletop cooler. Fill it with lemonade, rosé, or cocktails — whatever your crew is into. It's a fun, functional centerpiece that keeps the drinks flowing and guests talking.
Bonus points for slicing citrus and herbs for a DIY “fancy water” bar.
👶 5. Make It Family-Friendly (Without Sacrificing Style)
Our kids' flatware sets are perfect for little hands and match the vibe of the adult table, too. No more clunky plastic forks breaking the aesthetic. Because yes, even the kids’ spots can be cute.
✨ 6. Add Personal Touches
Simple name cards, fresh flowers, or even a handwritten “thank you” note can take your table from forgettable to heartfelt. Little details go a long way — especially when you pair them with sleek ANNOVA pieces.
