4th July Party Ideas - 13 Independence Day Party Ideas

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. We start with the invitations. Why not send out your invites on small American flags, either in the post or hand delivered! They will love you for your patriotic and well thought out idea!

2. Let your guests know on the invites that they will be charged on the door if they turn up wearing anything other than red, white and blue!

3. One idea you should consider is hiring out a pavillion if your local park has them!

4. Get some face paints so the kids can paint American flags on each others faces.

5. If you have more mini American flags, then use them to line the walkway up to your house.

6. Use large American flags for the front of your property or venue. Hang it from the flag pole if you have one.

7. Get plenty of squirt guns, have two teams and fill the guns with red or blue water for a fun patriotic game.

8. Get some red, white and blue fireworks if your party is to go on until later.

9. Of course your food should be all American. For starters have watermellon and you can have a seed spitting contest.

10. You should have a BBQ whether you have hired a pavillion or not. Burgers, sausages and chicken etc.

11. Bake a patriotic American flag cake. You can use 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.
