How to Throw a Unique July 4th Party

Hosting a July 4th party at your place this year? I've put together a list of some of my favorite July 4th party ideas to help you throw a unique "Fourth" party.

  • Make it a Potluck. Use our updated Potluck feature to ask guests to bring dishes. There can never be too many desserts! Yum.
  • Go for a spin. Create a festive centerpiece by filling a vase with red and white flowers then top it off with a sparkly, blue pinwheel.
  • Mix it up. Create a playlist of all your favorite patriotic tunes.
  • Add the fun. Keep kids entertained for hours with sprinklers, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk.
  • Park it. Schedule your party a few hours before your town's fireworks display. Grab a blanket, carpool with guests, and head to the park to get a great view.
  • Lighten it up. Don't forget the sparklers. They're always a favorite!

Enjoy Planning.
