With the 4th of July holiday just around the corner, there’s nothing better than hosting a party for friends and family. However, it’s not just a simple gathering, as this holiday demands patriotic decorations and delicious recipes to celebrate it.
There are several ways of decorating and planning your 4th of July party to make it unforgettable. Take a look below at red, white, and blue party ideas to put into action this year!
Red, White & Blue Decoration
Obviously, let’s start with the classics. Certainly, this party wouldn’t be a true 4th of July party if it wasn’t filed with our flag’s colors. Colors like red, white, and blue aren’t difficult to match if you choose the right elements to add. Details, such as cutlery or cups, can be your cherry on top, just like the main decoration as well.
If you don’t have the option to add colorful silverware and plates, you can use the color palette on the tablecloth, flowers, place setting, etc.
Colorful Balloon Arch
Since we’re talking about colors and decoration. Here it goes a great idea for decorating the party using the main colors of the event. Balloons aren’t difficult to find, so you can use a few to make a colorful balloon arch. That can be the beautiful background your party needs, which you can use to take some photos to register the day.
Flag Decor
The 4th of July celebrates the birth of American independence, so make the party patriotic! If you have a big American flag, you can use it as background decoration. And I’m pretty sure it would save you from thinking too much about the party decor since it would draw attention and be colorful enough for the whole space.
You can also make a mini flag garland and other flag decorations, which can keep the kids occupied while you’re busy!
Creative Drinks and Cocktails
Drinks and cocktails are a must-have at most parties, so why not add some creativity to them? In summer, fresh and cold drinks are awesome to have at parties, and you can easily create combinations that match the party’s theme.
Drinks with the colors from the decoration, little flags to follow the cups or fun names for the cocktails. What about naming the drinks with USA presidents? After all, who wouldn’t like to drink a delicious George Washington? Or a fresh Abraham Lincoln?
Swimming Pool Party
If you have a swimming pool at home, this idea is always welcome. During the day, or even at night, having a pool party seems great to counterbalance the hot weather, don’t you think? Plus, swimming with friends and family can always be fun and amusing, especially if you like playing water games.
USA Accessories
Headbands, tiaras, and sunglasses with red, white, and blue colors and other elements from the American flag are certainly a good way of adding a fun decoration to the party. You can easily find these accessories in local stores, or make your own if you’re crafty. It’s simple and creative for the party and certainly wouldn’t bring anything more but fun.
Traditional USA Recipes
If you think the food can’t be a part of the party decoration too, I’m going to prove you wrong. As the drinks and cocktails can be, as previously commented, decorated and named to match the main subject of the event, you can do the same with the food.
Cooking some traditional American recipes and popular food can be great and likely to please everyone at the party easily. Delicious options such as hot dogs, apple pie, and donuts, are pretty popular in the country, therefore it may be interesting to put them on the party menu.
Games
Let’s add some gaming to this party! Games with simple rules, so kids and adults can play, are great for keeping things relaxed and funny. Games such as bingo, charades, and sack races, are great for bringing some fun and laughs to a casual event.
Plus, if the games you choose have boards and pieces, you can plan on decorating them with some patriotic elements, if it interests you.
Patriotic Fireworks
On the 4th of July, fireworks are probably already part of many family party schedules, but they still can be part of your party if you want to. After all, fireworks are great attractions and in order to match the holiday, you could choose fireworks from the American flag colors. Don’t you think the sky would get wonderful with such colors shining just like stars?
Party Favors
Registering a party can go beyond taking photos. Party favors are great for creating memories of a lovely event and pleasing the guests. Things like candies, soap, and personalized cups are commonly used as party favors, which you can use too if interested.
Plus, you may decorate these gifts with party decoration elements, just in order to keep things matched and attractive.
