The Fourth of July is right around the corner, and with it, the parties and BBQs with family and friends to celebrate our nation’s freedoms. If you’re looking for a festive way to spice up your upcoming holiday party, these patriotic ideas are easy to prepare and sure to be a hit.
5 Unique Fourth of July Party Ideas
1. Patriotic Lollipop Centerpieces
These patriotic lollipop centerpieces provide a pop of color and a sweet treat for your Fourth of July party guests. You’ll need a 5-6” galvanized bucket, a foam ball, and 40 large lollipops to assemble this fun centerpiece. You can dress up your bucket by wrapping ribbon around it or switching out the galvanized bucket with plastic pales with stars and flags designs from your local craft or dollar store.
2. Star-Spangled Silverware Holders
These star-spangled silverware holders are a great addition to any Fourth of July party and can double as seasonal home décor. Each mason jar is painted with acrylic crafting paint to resemble the American flag when placed next to each other and can hold silverware, straws, or anything else you might need at your fourth of July BBQ. To craft your own, you’ll need 3 mason jars, red, white, and blue acrylic paint, and a fine paint brush. Worried about getting your stars and stripes just right? Painter’s tape and children’s glow stars can work as a guide!
3. Red, White and Blue Ice Cream Sandwiches
If you’re looking for a simple addition to your dessert table this Fourth of July, these ice cream sandwiches are for you. Cool off with a sweet treat that only requires two ingredients—store-bought ice cream sandwiches and red, white, and blue sprinkles. Worried the ice cream sandwiches will melt before the fireworks? You can simply store the prepared sandwiches on a cookie sheet in the freezer until you’re ready to serve them.
4. S’mores in a Jar Party Favors
Let freedom ring with these Fourth of July party favors your guests will love. Chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallows are stacked into a mason jar, creating a visually appealing display for your guest’s next campfire snack. The tag is made using a fireworks stamp and attached with twine for a perfectly packaged Fourth of July gift.
5. Layered Patriotic Punch
Layers of red, white, and blue juice are suspended in glasses by adding the juices in order of the highest sugar concentration, meaning the higher the sugar content, the more it will sink. You’ll start by adding the Cran-raspberry juice and ice. Next, you’ll add the Gatorade Frost for your white layer and the Powerade Zero Mixed Berry. As the ice melts, the layers will mix, so you’ll want to create your layers when you’re ready to serve.
Hopefully, these 5 unique Fourth of July party ideas bring a festive touch to your holiday gathering. Happy Fourth of July from my family to yours!
