The Decor

Touches of color go a long way at socials. Keep it simple by placing bunches of American flags around the room. If you're more of a fresh flowers person, put red and white carnations in blue vases all around! 

The Snacks

Nothing says Fourth of July like burgers! For an inexpensive and quick alternative, select your favorite slider recipe for your guests to munch on. Or, if you've got time, deep fry some homemade corn dogs for a great outdoor snack. And you can't forget about dessert! Grab ice cream sandwiches and dip the sides in a bowl of red white and blue sprinkles for a festive treat.
