4th of July Decorations

I have found the parties that are talked about for many years to come are the ones that boast the most time and involvement. If you go all out in RED, WHITE and BLUE as the guests start to arrive the decorations will set a great mood for the party. I swear by this statement, “If it looks like a party that had a lot of time and energy put into it, it really is one of the easiest ways to have a successful party happen”

Budget decorations: I always have red streamers on hand.  Did you know that Red is the most popular yet versitile color?  Think about all of the themes that can be combined with the color red. (Pirate Party, Princess Party(just add pink or Belle’s Rose, Christmas, Valentines Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day the list goes on and on.) Maybe simple paper streamers would work but investing in Red banners, or panels, or reusable streamers would be a GREAT choice for any party planner.

Think red, white and blue. You don’t have to pay for the FLAG table cloth that is $300 dollars. Think seperate red, white and blue. From table cloths, napkins, paper plates and even ice cubes, you want to have all the colors of the day come shining through. You can make your deserts and foods with these colors as well. It is possible to add color to the day but keep it simple and on a budget. The cheapest Plates are white. Just add blue and Red utensils and it will make a colorful table. I would suggest to spring for the Flag or themed napkins. What a great way to tie it all in.

Decorate your self and show that you really believe their is something to be happy about.  This is a great way to have some fun on this special day and to do something different to celebrate it.  Think of all the opportunities to be a patriotic character. Uncle Sam, Betsy Ross, One of our Founding Fathers, so many options and so many ways to “decorate”
