Independence Day falls on the 4th of 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.
We start with the invitations.
Why not send out your invites on small American flags, either in the post or hand delivered! They will love you for your patriotic and well thought out idea! 2.
State on your invitations (in a non-jokey way) that if anyone turns up not wearing red, white and blue then they will be charged at the door! 3.
Consider hiring out a pavilion 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 property, or pavilion with small American flags.
6.
Every American should have a large flag.
Make sure it's in a prominent position.
7.
Get plenty of squirt guns, have two teams and fill the guns with red or blue water for a fun patriotic game.
8.
Get some red, white and blue fireworks if your party is to go on until later.
9.
The food should of course be all American.
Begin with watermelon 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 a patriotic American flag cake.
You can use strawberries and blueberries for the stars and stripes.
12.
Gelatin deserts are easy to make and come in red and blue.
Also, of course apple pie! 13.
Arrive dressed as Captain America.
Failing that, how about one of Americas founding Fathers.
Cause a riot by turning up as a British Redcoat!
