Planning to Happy an Independence Day Party
An Independence Day celebration is more than just a chance to get together with friends and family; it’s also a time to remember and appreciate what our forefathers did and sacrificed on our behalf. Independence Day is our country’s biggest holiday, a time when we put aside our differences.
We put aside religious and political differences and prejudices and come together to celebrate our freedom.
Independence Day has evolved into a celebration of hot dogs, fireworks, picnics, and backyard barbecues decked out in red, white, and blue. After Independence Day, look for items with a patriotic theme; you can get them at a discount and save them for next year.
On the other hand, your party could be this year, and you’ll need decorations right away. In that case, visit USA-party-supplies to get everything you need. Line the bottoms of chip bowls with red, white, and blue napkins. Pair them with small red, white, and blue dip bowls. Entrees are simple; people expect foods that are hot off the grill. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and chicken are ideal for independence Day.
For guests who cannot eat regular hamburgers, provide low-fat options such as turkey or veggie burgers. Also, have plenty of outdoor games to keep everyone entertained while they wait for the fireworks to begin; organize a softball or volleyball game. Sparklers and snaps are a fun and entertaining way for children to participate.
Just make sure that all children are supervised by an adult when using sparklers.
To finish, make a cake with blueberries for the blue part of the American flag and strawberries and whipped cream for the stripes. What kind of party is complete without cake, and what better cake to use than one with a patriotic theme?
# SWEET DRINKS
Cool down with classics like ginger ale and sweet tea, or try colorful, fruit-infused sodas and spritzers. Which is our favorite? Fizzy ginger ale topped with a scoop of raspberry sorbet and blueberry skewers
Serve your favorite Fourth of July drinks from oversized glass dispensers instead of a pitcher or bowl. Fruity beverages can be used to add a splash of color to your tables. Brush strips of chalkboard paint on the fronts and label with chalk, or thread tags through twine and tie them around the dispensers to label what’s inside. Use ice cubes made from the same soda, juice, or tea to keep drinks cold and flavorful.
#DESSERTS FOR PATRIOTS
Finish the meal with cupcakes topped with blueberries and sliced strawberries and iced with whipped cream cheese frosting. Provide an ice cream bar with strawberry topping, whipped cream, and red, white, and blue sprinkles for children of all ages.
Make preparations ahead of time by scooping vanilla ice cream into chilled Mason jars or glass bowls the night before the party. Keep them in the freezer until ready to serve.
# ACCENTS FROM AMERICANA
Keep your Fourth of July decorations simple and charming by using childhood-inspired decorations, such as patriotic pinwheels artfully arranged in jars or flag-inspired pennant garlands hung between trees or along a fence line. Polka dot tablecloths, thrift-store cake stands, and fun touches like old-fashioned soda bottles can all contribute to the vintage look.
# Lead with joy and smiles
If your child sees you having fun, he or she will be more likely to match your mood.
Alternatively, because of the excitement, some families prefer to avoid the Fourth of July celebrations. In the evening, it may be a good idea to close your windows and turn on any fans as loudly as possible for these families. Find a fun family activity or a movie to watch that will allow your family to spend quality time together inside.
Whatever your family does, the main goal is to plan ahead of time for the holiday and to prepare your family for what to expect.
