9 Ways to Decorate for Presidents Day: Adding Elegance with Event Linens

As Presidents Day 2024 approaches, many of us are looking for creative ways to celebrate. Whether you're hosting a President’s Day party or just looking to add a patriotic touch to your home, the right decorations can set the tone for a memorable day. 

Below, we'll explore unique Presidents Day decoration ideas and focus on how event linens can play a crucial role in your decor.

1. President’s Day Decorations Colors and Theme

First, let's talk about the President’s Day colors. Traditional patriotic colors – red, white, and blue – are necessary. These colors represent the American flag and are symbolic of the nation's values. Incorporating these colors in your decorations will instantly create a festive and patriotic atmosphere.

2. DIY Tablecloth Ideas

For President's Day table decorations, consider crafting a DIY tablecloth. Use overstock table linens or purchase fabric in patriotic colors. You can create a patchwork of red, white, and blue or design a flag-inspired tablecloth. This is a fun Presidents Day activity that can involve the whole family.

3. Choosing the Right Linens

CV Linens offers a range of options perfect for Presidents Day. The Payette sequin backdrop in silver or blue adds sparkle and glamor to your space, ideal for a backdrop or a photo booth area. Pair it with polyester table runners in red and white for a cohesive look.

4. Napkin and Plate Selection

Velvet napkins, especially in bulk, add a touch of luxury to your table setting. Choose velvet napkins bulk in red, white, or blue to match the theme. Complement these with disposable plastic plates for convenience without compromising on style. A vintage round charger plate in gold or silver can add an extra layer of sophistication.

5. Ceiling and Wall Decor

Don't forget the vertical spaces. White ceiling drapes can transform any room into an elegant venue, creating a soft, ethereal look. Hang them in sweeping curves to mimic the waves of the American flag.

6. Centerpiece and Table Decor Ideas

For centerpieces, use simple items like miniature flags, candles in patriotic colors, or even historical books about Presidents. Place these on a bed of blue or red velvet napkins for a pop of color. Incorporate President's Day activities into your decor by setting up a craft table where guests can make patriotic decorations.

7. States Recognizing Presidents Day

It's interesting to note that not all states officially recognize Presidents Day. However, many still partake in the festivities. If you're in a state that celebrates, go all out with your decorations. A subtle nod to the holiday with a few key pieces can be just as impactful in states where it's less recognized.

8. Ideas for Outdoor Decorations

If you're hosting an outdoor event, consider draping red, white, and blue fabrics along fences or across the porch. Use bunting, flags, and balloons to add a festive touch. A Payette sequin backdrop can also be used outdoors, weather permitting, to create a stunning focal point.

Utilize lighting to enhance the outdoor ambiance. String lights in red, white, and blue can be draped along fences, trees, or the edges of the backdrop. This not only lights up the space as the evening sets in but also maintains the patriotic color scheme.

9. Incorporating History and Education

Presidents Day is not only a day of celebration, but also of reflection and education. Decorations can include portraits of past presidents, quotes, or historical facts. This is a great way to combine President’s Day ideas with educational elements, especially if children are present.

Consider creating a timeline banner showcasing all the U.S. Presidents, with key facts or achievements next to their portraits. This visual representation not only decorates your space, but also encourages guests to engage with the nation's history.

Decorating for Presidents Day is an opportunity to express patriotism and creativity. By focusing on event linens like backdrops, table runners, and napkins, you can create a sophisticated and thematic look.

Remember, the key is in the details – from the choice of colors to the selection of tableware. With these ideas and CV Linens' selection of quality linens, your Presidents Day celebration is sure to be both stylish and meaningful.
