ANZAC Day is coming up and although COVID restrictions have been relaxed, they are still a factor. So this year, why not pay your respects to the ANZACS a little closer to home with a private local event to avoid travelling?
Hosting your own ANZAC Day event
Now that COVID restrictions are being relaxed across Victoria, it’s a great time to host an ANZAC party in your neighbourhood or for family and friends. First, you need to start with a theme to decorate. From there, you can select some furniture hire items to help bring your vision to life.
Choosing a theme
A theme helps inject some vivid colour into your event and gets attendees to participate. It also provides great photo opportunities so you can still ensure you have a day to remember. There are many themes you could explore this ANZAC Day, including:
– National flag colours
– Wartime food, such as ANZAC oat and coconut biscuits
– Inspirational figures
– Fashion from the era
– War poetry, art and music
– Poppies and other memorable wartime iconography
Plan your food and decor
Once you’ve settled on your theme, you can begin to decorate with images, streamers, flags or even images of fallen heroes to commemorate. You can also ask attendees to come dressed up, bring a food dish inspired by the time, and even contribute an item such as memorabilia or photographs to add to the decor. Decorative extras and themed food can really help inject life into your setting and will remain etched in people’s minds for years to come.
Provide ample seating and furniture
The finishing step to your ANZAC Day party is ensuring you provide plenty of socially distanced seating and tables. Preferably you want to choose furniture that can easily be wiped down and sanitised, and it’s a bonus if you can find it in your theme colours!
