America’s favorite holiday is right around the corner… Can you believe it is almost time for the 4th of July? What a wonderful day for family, friends, and a whole lot of fun!
The inspiration behind this 4th of July outdoor celebration is perfect for the neighborhood block party, or a small family get-together! Use classic red, white, and blue, yet add accents of gold for some sparkle to this festive party such as easy gold star cupcake toppers. Looking for an easy DIY table linen? Buy drawing paper, trace circles and fill in gold. Don’t have the time for all that, then find gold polka dot wrapping paper, voila! Add these fun cut out stars for a table runner or garland. You can get the DIY lowdown here.
Mix and match different patterns such as stripes, plaid, polka dots and chevron for table runners, napkins, paper plates or other party linens for a fun and festive celebration! Walmart and Party City both have great and inexpensive paper plates and décor.
When planning finger foods, why not have a hot dog bar with all the assorted condiments. Use what you have such as your kids red wagon to display your favorite drinks!
