Now that summer is almost here, you may be thinking of a hosting a party on that most patriotic of holidays, the 4th of July. Whether barbecue, buffet, potluck, or picnic, keep the focus on the patriotic theme with your style and festivities. By combining great 4th of July music and games, red, white, and blue colored decor, and a safe fireworks display to end the night, you can throw a party your friends and family won’t forget.
Start off your 4th of July party right, with great, big patriotic music. Classic parade music, like the marches of John Phillip Sousa, set the tone. Play historical hits and well known songs like Yankee Doodle Dandy and Grand Old Flag. Don't forget to play the national anthem and encourage guests to sign along.
Keep your guests happy and having fun by providing some famous, American backyard games to play. A game like horseshoes is easy to set up and will remind your party guests of the old days, when the Declaration of Independence was signed. Better yet, play cornhole, which was invented here in the United States. Add cornhole lights, like those from Custom Cornhole, to keep the games going after sunset.
Obviously, you need to decorate your backyard party space with American flag themed decor. Start by hanging balloons and crepe paper in red, white, and blue and provide plates and napkins to match. Nothing says the 4th of July like an actual American flag, of course. In fact, over two-thirds of Americans report that they’ll fly a flag as part of their celebration this year.
Although fireworks are a long standing tradition for 4th of July parties, it’s important that you carefully prepare for your fireworks display. Before you begin, find out if your community will be holding its own public fireworks display. These are generally the best option, since they are much bigger and safer than what you can have at home. If not, research the local laws before you buy your fireworks. Don’t let children touch fireworks or get too close while you light them. Let your neighbors know about your plans, so that they can block the noise and keep in scared pets if necessary.
Invite friends and family to your 4th of July party and have a blast. A little planning surely will make your party an unforgettably patriotic one.
