Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day are all patriotic holidays for remembering and for celebrating our freedom!
Here are some fun and unique ideas for a patriotic party!
-
Use fresh flowers in vintage mason jars for tabletops.
-
Hang fabric red, white, and blue buntings on your front porch...
-
Put small flags in all of your flower pots...
-
Of course, decorate in red, white, and blue! Use stars and striped fabric for photo backdrops and tablecovers...
-
Serve a simple flag fruit cake...
-
Fill a large galvanized steel tub with ice and old fashioned glass bottles of Coca Cola and red pop...
-
Serve watermelon, hamburgers with all of the fixins, and homemade potato salad...
-
Use patriotic themed beach towels for extra decor hanging on chairs and as tablecovers...
​
-
Shop after these holidays for clearance patriotic party supplies...
-
Have sparklers and snap pops on hand for extra fun!
-
Ask kids to bring their wagons, bikes, tricycles and Big Wheels...provide them with red, white, and blue streamers, pom poms, flags, and construction paper (or this kit) to decorate their rides to have a mini parade!
-
Fill small tin buckets with a pack of sparklers, small pinwheels, paper fans, bubbles, and a bag of treats- use these for party favors for the kids...
-
Set up a patriotic themed candy buffet...
-
Wrap flatware in red bandanas and blue bandanas and secure with raffia or about 1" white fabric ribbon.
-
Use a star cookie cutter to cut out star-shaped pb and j sandwiches for the kiddos...
-
And, obviously, hoist your American Flag proudly!
perfect for a classroom party!
Super easy - wash and dry strawberries. Melt white chocolate disks in microwave safe bowl. Dip berries, dip in blue sprinkles. Lay to dry on parchment paper.
Just paint a plain clay pot white and tie ribbon of choice around the top. Plant a pretty red geranium and voila!
