It’s surprising that Valentine’s Day just came
and gone like it was nothing. Especially because of the winter holidays of 2019
and 2020 coming and going so quickly. So here we are, blazing right along
through this year with spring on the near horizon. And there’s a multitude of
reasons why everyone loves when warmer holidays like Memorial Day Weekend come
around. The weather is perfect. Grilling season has begun. Having some beers
with your friends is a priority. And back to back to back weekends of relaxation
is in store for everyone at most normal jobs.
Like most other holidays, Memorial Day
wouldn’t be quite possible to celebrate with proper planning ahead. And without
the right food, drinks, utensils, and even packaging supplies, it can be more
stressful than it really should be. Give our little list a read to see what you
should be doing to prepare for summer holidays.
Preparing
food.
Food is one of my favorite things about any
holiday or get together. The problem is usually that someone has to be the one
to plan out who’s bringing what so that there’s no overlap. So having someone
assigned to this role is best in order to have an appropriate amount of food.
Whether you’re doing a big barbecue with a designated grill master or even a
tasty crawfish boil with someone who’s on duty, you need to make sure someone
is in charge.
Planning
out activities.
This should be easy and not frustrating at all
if you do your planning. You definitely don’t want things to become a chore
since that ruins the whole point of relaxing during these weekends. Just make
sure to keep in mind that you don’t want to plan some extravagant boating trip
if it’s expensive and will cause people to stress over the cash. Really, a few
cornhole boards and some beers do well to kill time while food is being
prepared, and people love this little activity during summer.
Ensuring
you have the right materials.
Not a good idea to have a shortage of supplies
at these sorts of events. Paper towels, paper plates, plastic utensils, trash
cans set up in the right spots, and some random packaging supplies like tape or
other materials that would be useful for easy clean up are perfect for making
sure things go smoothly. It doesn’t take much more than that to be honest.
