4th July Party Ideas

Every year we Americans celebrate the 4th July with fervour. Why not celebrate our nations independence with a grand party for your friends, family and neighbours? See my 4th July party ideas below:

1. We start with the invitations. Why not send out your invites on small American flags, either in the post or hand delivered! They will love you for your patriotic and well thought out idea!

2. State on your invitations (in a non jokey way) that if anyone turns up not wearing red, white and blue then they will be charged on the door!

3. If your local park have pavillions, consider hiring one out as they make superb venues for parties.

4. Hire a face painter, or allow the kids to paint the American flag on each others faces! They will love it and it will keep them quiet.

5. Line the walkway to your house with mini American flags.

6. Use large American flags for the front of your property or venue. Hang it from the flag pole if you have one.

7. Get some squirt guns and fill them with blue or red water. Have two teams and have a fun game.

8. For later, make sure you have patriotic red, white and blue fireworks.

9. The food should of course be all American. Begin with watermellon and have a seed spitting contest.

10. You should have a BBQ whether you have hired a pavillion or not. Burgers, sausages and chicken etc.

11. Bake a patriotic American flag cake. You can use strawberries and blueberries for the stars and stripes.

12. Gelatin deserts are easy to make and come in red and blue. Also, of course apple pie!

13. Cause a stir at your 4th July party by turning up as a British redcoat. Consider hiring out a Captain America outfit or buying a founding Father costume!
