Hosting a Fourth of July party is easy, but for some it’s nothing more than a big hassle. There is no need to stress as long as you know the different
Fourth of July Party Ideas
elements of the party, then it’s easy to organize everything else. Here are a couple of ideas for your party planning.
Decorations- Party supply stores and discount stores are the prefect place to find inexpensive décor. Be creative and go crazy with the colors red, white, and blue. You can buy a big tub and paint the American flag on the tub; this makes for an excellent beverage holder. For centerpieces, you can do something simple and fill a flowerpot with sand and place an American flag in it. Get some red, white, and blue-striped figurines at the dollar store (Uncle Sam) and you can use these as centerpieces as well. Don’t forget something simple and cheap you can do is to decorate with lots of balloons.
Food- Since July is so hot; a perfect meal for the fourth is a barbeque. A great idea is to serve a variety of meats to choose from. Have chicken, kabobs, ribs, hotdogs, and burgers. This assures that everyone will like something. Don’t forget your sides of coleslaw, corn, potato salad, baked beans, bread, and fruit. Also, you must have a variety of desserts. Make sure to incorporate the colors of red, white, and blue. Homemade ice cream is a great snack while watching the fireworks. Another great idea is to have patriotic cocktails in the colors red, white, and blue.
Entertainment- Fourth of July parties are more enjoyable if you have prepared fun games or activities for everyone to participate in such as water balloon toss, egg toss, or board games. If you are into sports you can organize a game of flag football, corn hole, washers, or volleyball. Of course you can’t celebrate the Fourth of July without fireworks. If you plan on going somewhere with everyone to watch fireworks, make sure you still buy some of your own. Something as simple as sparklers is fine. Make sure adults are the only ones who handle the fireworks. You don’t want to end your night with a trip to the emergency room. Don’t forget your ipod and play some patriotic music. Everyone loves to hear the classic song God Bless the USA.
Fourth of July is a major highlight of the summer for most people. A little creativity goes a long way. No matter what, make sure to enjoy the day with your family and friends. Using a few of these ideas will surely have your party heading in the right direction!
