Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer—and there’s no better way to celebrate than hosting a backyard BBQ in the comfort of your Cresleigh Home. Whether you’re a seasoned host or planning your first gathering, here’s how to make the day memorable, delicious, and fun for all ages.
Set the Scene in Your Cresleigh Homes Backyard
Cresleigh Homes are designed with functionality and comfort in mind, and your outdoor space is no exception. Whether you’re working with a spacious covered patio, a cozy yard, or an open dining area that blends indoor-outdoor living, you have the perfect canvas for a BBQ.
Hosting tip:
Set up a shaded area with umbrellas or pop-up tents, and lay out picnic blankets or outdoor seating for a relaxed, festive vibe.
Fire Up the Grill
No Memorial Day BBQ is complete without the classics—think juicy burgers, hot dogs, grilled corn, and veggie skewers. Want to level up your menu? Try marinated chicken, salmon, or BBQ pulled pork sliders. And don’t forget refreshing sides like pasta salad, fruit skewers, or chips and guac.
Pro tip:
Create a self-serve drink station with lemonade, iced tea, and coolers filled with sparkling water or soda for easy access.
Celebrate with Red, White & Blue Decor
Keep the theme patriotic with simple touches: red, white, and blue table settings, flag-themed centerpieces, or even a festive dessert like berry shortcake or star-shaped cookies. It’s a fun, low-effort way to bring the spirit of the holiday into your celebration.
Make It Family-Friendly
If kids are on the guest list, add some lawn games like cornhole, giant Jenga, or bubbles to keep them entertained. Bonus: These activities are great for adults too!
Enjoy the Holiday at Home
With a Cresleigh Home, entertaining is easier than ever. Our open floor plans, spacious kitchens, and indoor-outdoor connectivity make it simple to host memorable gatherings. This Memorial Day, enjoy good food, great company, and the comfort of celebrating right at home.
