July 4th Party
When it comes to 4th of July party planning, nothing beats tradition. This is the time of year to celebrate our country and freedom with patriotism and joy. In between the morning parade and the evening fireworks display, I’ll be having a traditional 4th of July picnic with family, friends and neighbors.
Top Ten 4th of July Tunes
Here are my favorite Independence Day classics to help your July 4th party planning along.
July 4th: The Great American Cookout
It's time to discuss the Great American Cookout. Even if some of my readers prefer not to barbecue on Independence Day, most families spend the 4th grilling everything they can get their hands on. Not a master of your grill? Haven't harnessed your grilling chi? That's quite alright. Don't be intimidated. One of the best things about party planning for a cookout is how little preparation it actually takes.
Feting the 4th
As you know, July 4th is coming up. To me, the 4th is the ideal holiday. It's the only holiday whose name is its date, it connotes parades, fireworks and cookouts, and it grandly represents the birthday of our lovely country. For those of my beloved readers who aren't already feting the 4th, you still have a week to plan a great party. Now I understand, it may seem like a frightful amount of party planning to do in not much time, but the absolute best part of July 4th is the number of party possibilities it opens up to hosts.
All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go: What to Do After the 4th
I know it's depressing. After the 4th of July, the rest of the summer threatens to be party-less and boring, unless you have a whole slew of friends and relatives with summer birthdays (and even then, who wants to spend the summer inside stores, combing the dirty, picked-over aisles for birthday gifts?).
