Fourth of July Celebration Party
It's the Fourth of July and you want to have a party. Well, Independence Day is a great day to have one. The first thing to do is decorate with red, white and blue. We had a great party last year at our house. We used solid color table cloths in red, white, blue. I wrapped up plastic silverware in patriotic theme napkins and tied them with a ribbon. I used center pieces on the table which were sparkly stars on aluminum stems. I also but a patriotic banner up draped across our deck.
We supplied the ribs and everyone brought a dish so it was potluck. I made an audio CD of patriotic songs such as God Bless America, Stars and Stripes, and Yankee Doodle Dandy plus other patriotic songs and had it playing in the background. We ate, played games like corn hole and badminton and had some sparklers for the kids. The Fourth of July party was a hit for everyone. Hope you all enjoy your Fourth of July celebration this year. God Bless The USA!
