Every year we Americans celebrate the 4th July with fervour. Why not celebrate our nations independence with a grand party for your friends, family and neighbours? See my 4th July party ideas below:
1. First things first and that is your party invitations. Why not send them out on mini American flags, writing the details on one! Get plenty in as you’ll require more for the party!
2. State on your invitations (in a non jokey way) that if anyone turns up not wearing red, white and blue then they will be charged on the door!
3. If your local park have pavillions, consider hiring one out as they make superb venues for parties.
4. Get some face paints so the kids can paint American flags on each others faces.
5. Line the walkway to your house with mini American flags.
6. Every American should have a large flag. Make sure it’s in a prominent position.
7. Get some squirt guns and fill them with blue or red water. Have two teams and have a fun game.
8. For later, make sure you have patriotic red, white and blue fireworks.
9. Of course your food should be all American. For starters have watermellon and you can have a seed spitting contest.
10. No matter where your party venue is, you really should have a BBQ. Make sure you have all the usual American trimmings; sausages, burgers and chicken etc.
11. Bake an American flag cake, using strawberries and blueberries for the stars and stripes.
12. Make red and blue gelatin deserts. Also, any 4th July party should have apple pie as a mandatory inclusion.
13. You should consider a range of fancy dress costumes such as Captain America or one of the founding Fathers. Cause a stir by turning up as a British redcoat.
