How are you planning to celebrate Independence Day? Go all out by hosting a patriotic party complete with red, white, and blue décor and creative 4th of July recipes! Read on for some great ideas on celebrating this classic holiday.
More Than a Meal
With July 4th so conveniently placed right in the heart of summer, it makes it the perfect holiday to enjoy a cookout party with your friends, family, or neighbors! Gather around the grill enjoying classic summer dishes like BBQ, burgers, or hot dogs, refreshing drinks and snacks, and great conversation.
But remember, July 4th is so much more than a meal; it’s a celebration of our country, “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” So celebrate American-style with your loved ones, making new cherished memories as you do!

Patriotic Party Décor
Think back to the best party you’ve ever attended. What do you remember most about it? Yes—the attendee list is key, of course, but the most memorable parties also tend to have a consistent theme that really sets them apart.
Planning a theme for a party can sometimes be difficult (how many different birthday themes can you think of?)—but thankfully, a July 4th theme is always the same: USA! Look for festive place settings in red, white, and blue colors; decorations with stars or stripes; and centerpieces that resemble fireworks. Check out this slideshow for some great DIY decorations!
