Independence Day falls on the 4th July and is a time to celebrate our independence from the dastardly British. Why not celebrate this year with a party to impress your friends, family and neighbours? Have a look at my 4th July party ideas:
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 loud and clear on your invitations that if anybody turns up not wearing red, white and blue 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 plenty of face paints so the kids can have the American flag painted on them.
5. Line the walkway to your property, or pavillion with small American flags.
6. Hang a large American flag from your flag pole, or stick it to the front wall of your house or venue.
7. Get some squirt guns. Fill them with either red or blue water and have a red team and a blue team.
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. Wherever your party venue is, you should have a BBQ with all the usual American trimmings; burgers, sausages and chicken etc.
11. Bake a cake and use strawberries and 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. Cause a stir at your 4th July party by turning up as a British redcoat. Consider hiring out a Captain America outfit or buying a founding Father costume!
