HOW TO PLAN A JULY 4TH PARTY!

GO FOURTH!

Plan a Fourth of July party with pizzazz…

With 4^th of July right around the bend, there is still time to do the American themed get-together to make it even more memorable holiday. For this Holiday, I found a great range of ‘Red, White, and Blue’ Party Ideas that would serve as the perfect inspiration for this Fourth of July!!!

TABLESCAPE

To create this tablescape, I started with some of my favorite linens from ‘Hen House Linens’. In the picture you see their red, white & blue patriotic colored table linens- the Stardust indigo blue table cloth, Navy blue printed dinner napkins, scarlet red printed placemats and napkin rings. Not only these linens work perfectly for this patriotic Holiday but also some of these pieces can be used beyond the holiday season. I am already thinking that I may re-use the red placemat and napkin ring as a part of my Christmas Party tablescape…

The best part, I like about using Hen House Linens. is that their linens are 100% cotton, made for everyday use, color-fast that allows for the ease of machine-washing and drying and no ironing is required, which is a huge plus J

Also paired some of my favorite dinner setting and centerpieces from Pottery Barn’s summer collection. Pottery Barn is a one stop shop for everything from silverware, to cups, plates & chargers and of course, the July 4th décor from table runners, to flags (as shown in the image), and banners that make your table look patriotic, for the party!

Since I had so much going on with my prints, there was not much room for elaborate centerpieces, so I chose Pottery Barn’s lanterns with sand and battery operated candles (safety first with kids around). And what I love is that I could also use the nautical theme over and over again during the summer parties. Did I mention Pottery Barn’s high quality products, in my opinion can last forever!

FOOD

It’s so much fun to host a 4th of July party!!! I love the idea of getting the family and friends together early on in the day so the afternoon can be spent playing outside! On the menu, I chose to go with – all the essential food groups {in all the right colors!}~

1. Warm buttery almond croissants…
2. Fresh blueberries, strawberries and raspberries…

DRINKS

Who doesn’t want an ice cold bucket of beer and some Pepsi to complement a hot summer day! I made these July 4^th Fruity Drinks with Ice Cold Crystal Pepsi..

DESSERT

For the July 4th treats, I chose these colorful cupcakes from Bliss cupcakes and Confections located in The Village at Allen’s. These freshly baked (chocolate and vanilla) cupcakes with patriotic colored sprinkles not only look good, but also taste great!

And for more treats, I added some cookies from Target…

ENTERTAINMENT

It’s not a 4th of July party without fireworks & old fashioned games, right!  Set up the BBQ and  game stations like ring toss, hula hoops, crouquet, horse shoes, or corn hole and wear your ‘Made in the USA’ outfits to celebrate an amazing July 4^th Holiday with your family and friends!
