Today we are on Part 4 of the Memorial Day Weekend Prep, and it is all about entertainment this weekend.
It's true, that all you need are good friends, food, and little aclohol to have a good time. Being outside is great enough (even better if you live in the north where this time is sacred!). But if you want to kick it up a knotch try some of these ideas. Set up a tent outside for the day for the kids to play in. They'll get a break from the sun and keep busy all day long. If you're lucky enough to have a tire swing, I'm sure it will be about 5 minutes before someone jumps on. There is nothing like swinging on a real tire swing, even at 25! Hang a sheet and pull out a projector to watch a movie outside. This one is definitely on my summer bucket list. But if you don't have a AV guru husband like I do, throw a blanket in the back of a van and catch a drive in movie. They're rare but they do exist, and I can't wait to take my daughters to one! And never underestimate those old school games that you know you've played. Keep a small bucket filled with random games, and your guests will never be bored - especially when they're a little bit tipsy.

Hanging out over a fire after the sun has gone down and the kids have gone to sleep is one of my favorite things to do in the summer. This is probably because I don't get a chance to just sit when my kids are running around, but it's probably true if you've been hosting also. Grab some marshmallows and skewers and roast away.

I always love to throw up a photobooth at every event, and this weekend is no exception. Keep it simple instead of spending hours and hours making a stream backdrop (I know this from personally experience), and hang a white sheet and attach a few festive accents. If you don't have time to cut printable props, you can stop by your local...you guessed it - DollarTree! They have tons of fun items you can use and you don't need to go overboard.
