- Every year there is a different Fete Day color. As of yet there is no set color (but I'm sure there will be one once it's a national holiday!). There are lots of ways to decide on a color. You can pick it out of a hat, have people vote, or just decide! (I've decided that in my neck of the woods we're following the rainbow colors, starting with red.) Everyone wears that color to your Fete Day festivities, and each person who is participating draws names, then buys a small gift (under $5) for their person in that color.
- The official dessert of Fete Day is ice cream cake.
- There should be an activity of some sort (in can be anything from miniature golf to horse shoes, bowling to water balloon toss--it can be ANYTHING, as long as you have fun while you do it...and it's legal and moral)
- The date of Fete Day is August 16th (ish). Since it's a made up holiday, you can be flexible!
I think that's it! I would love to spread the Fete Day cheer, so choose a color, draw names, make or buy your ice cream cake, and get your family and friends together! I would love to hear about your festivities, whether I know you or not. I will be posting soon after our celebration next week. Spread the word, and spread the cheer!

I am always looking for new ways to celebrate so I'm going to try this. We have a High School Musical party planned for the 17th so I'm not sure I'll be able to put together something on the 18th but I'm sure going to try. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Fun! You are so cute! maybe i will try it... we'll see... My kids would love it!
I think I may be having a High School Musical party too- but I think we can party twice in one week. SO-hmmm maybe we should invite all the bloggers of our neighborhood for the celebration. I love it! Party on!

I am SOOO excited for Fete Day! I have my family's "red" all picked out! So...what is my assigment? Do you want me to try and put together an ice cream cake? On second thought...you are the "cake master" so that better be your assignment! I'm sure they have a cute idea on FamilyFun.com! Let me know! I'm ready!
With our anniversary tomorrow and my 25th birthday next Monday- we have plenty to celebrate in August! But, it does sound like a cute idea! Leave it up to Maleen to be so creative!
I think it might be a little last minute for some, but I think we could still pull it off if there is enough interest in it. I'm willing anyone else? Sorry about my font I'm still new at the whole blogging thing. So I think I fixed it will you go back and see if you can read now? Thanks!
I fixed my comments setting on my blog. Hope it works now. Thanks to Jodi I figured out what was wrong! Have a good one!
Hello Deanne! I was so happy to finally meet you. Jared had told me all about being with your family when he was younger. I am so glad that you found my blog and we can now keep in touch. Love the Fete Day idea! We'll see if I do one. We just spent a weekend long of celebrating my birthday.
way to go deanne, I am glad you are participating in Maleen's made up holidays, they are fun:)
This is actually Tyler, but I'm masquerading as Maleen because she has an account. Anyhow, congrats on the rules—that's the most succinct I think we've ever seen the rules. Here's to Fete Day!
