July 4th Celebration

GET THE PARTY STARTED!

Party planning can be a bit overwhelming!  I hope that I've simplified a few things.  Your invitation can set the mood for the rest of the party.  Then, you can add coordinating items. Most of our products are being transitioned into a digital/printable line. (perfect for impromptu gatherings)

Our 4th of July products can be found HERE.

 

MENU:

THE best part of party planning is the F-O-O-D!  Am I right?  Here are some fun and festive ideas for the 4th with the links below. 

Red White and Blue Cocktail ~ Punchbowl.com

Blackberry Feta Skewers ~ ahealthylife.com

Red White and Blue Salad ~ greenlitebites.com

Star Brownies ~ use any brownie mix, cut with star cookie cutter and decorate. 

TABLES:

 To me, centerpieces are the most difficult component of a party.  Silly, I know!

I've learned to keep it simple! For the 4th, grab some recycled jars, flowers, ribbon and a flag...voila! (image via Heritage Schoolhouse)
