With the 4th of July quickly approaching, it is time to warm up the grill for a festive dinner party. Host a cookout to catch up with friends and family that you missed celebrating with over the last year. We love showing our patriotic pride with bike parades, fireworks, and red, white, & Blue themed food. My kids look forward to this tradition year after year. Whether you are hosting a big backyard blow out or just your family, we got you covered.
Dinner Tablescape
Decorating with the classic color palette of red, white, and blue never goes out of style for celebrating Memorial Day or the 4th of July. Pattern mixing with plates, floral arrangements, and personalized treat buckets all create a bold and festive table. Begin decorating you table with a striped table runner, then build upon the look with tableware and napkins in the colors of red, white, and blue. Continue adding in natural elements like the woven charger and fresh flowers.
Favor Buckets
These personalized favor buckets will be a hit with all your party guests especially the kids. You can grab similar buckets from Party City or Hobby Lobby in red, white, and blue then personalize them with printable stars. The options are limitless on what to put inside. We included sparklers, confetti popper, glow sticks, Cracker Jacks popcorn, and candy that was red, white, and blue.
Patriotic Food Ideas
Some of our favorite ways to decorate is to put items in festive colored or shaped dishes. This star chip and dip plate from Macy’s is perfect for this holiday. You can’t go wrong with iced sugar cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, or this festive flag fruit tart.

I can’t believe the 4th of July is nearly here. I love this time of year. I’m celebrating by getting a long-overdue kitchen cabinet painting. I can’t wait to eat fresh watermelon and celebrate our freedoms by our new cabinets! Thanks for sharing your ideas, I will implement these too.
