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. 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. One idea you should consider is hiring out a pavillion if your local park has them!
4. Hire a face painter, or allow the kids to paint the American flag on each others faces! They will love it and it will keep them quiet.
5. Line the walkway to your house with mini 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 and fill them with blue or red water. Have two teams and have a fun game.
8. If your party is going on until later, make sure you get some red, white and blue fireworks.
9. Of course the food should be all American. Start off with watermellon. You should have a seed spitting contest, aiming for targets or see who can spit the furthest.
10. Wherever your party venue is, you should have a BBQ with all the usual American trimmings; burgers, sausages 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.
