Independence Day is a time to celebrate Americas independence from the British. So why not celebrate this year with a party for your friends and family? Take a look at these following 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. Consider hiring out a pavillion in your local park has them!
4. Get plenty of face paints so the kids can have the American flag painted on them.
5. Line the walkway to your house with mini 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. If your party is going on until later, make sure you get some red, white and blue fireworks.
9. The food should of course be all American. Begin with watermellon and have a seed spitting contest.
10. No matter where your party venue is, you really should have a BBQ. Make sure you have all the usual American trimmings; sausages, burgers 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.
