Let's party

Independence Day is a time to celebrate Americas independence from the British. So why not celebrate this year with a party for your friends and family? Take a look at these following 4th July party ideas:

1. Your party must start in advance with invitations. Send them out on mini American flags, either in the post or hand delivered. Get plenty in because you need them for the party!

2. State loud and clear on your invitations that if anybody turns up not wearing red, white and blue they will be charged on the door!

3. One idea you should consider is hiring out a pavillion if your local park has them!

4. Hire a face painter, or allow the kids to paint the American flag on each others faces! They will love it and it will keep them quiet.

5. Line the walkway to your house with mini American flags.

6. Use large American flags for the front of your property or venue. Hang it from the flag pole if you have one.

7. Get some squirt guns and fill them with blue or red water. Have two teams and have a fun game.

8. For later, make sure you have patriotic red, white and blue fireworks.

9. Of course your food should be all American. For starters have watermellon and you can have a seed spitting contest.

10. You should have a BBQ whether you have hired a pavillion or not. Burgers, sausages 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. You should consider a range of fancy dress costumes such as Captain America or one of the founding Fathers. Cause a stir by turning up as a British redcoat.
