13 Unique 4th July Party Ideas

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. Your party must start in advance with invitations. Send them out on mini American flags, either in the post or hand delivered. Get plenty in because you need them 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. 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 property, or pavillion with small American flags.

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 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 patriotic American flag cake. You can use strawberries and blueberries for the stars and stripes.

12. Apple pie should be any Americans number 1 choice for desert. Also gelatin deserts are easy to make and come in red and blue.

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.
