| Happy Independence Day! |
As Independence Day approaches, I am both excited and a bit sad. It's always been sort of the halfway point for summer and I am NOT ready for Summertime to end. So, I am choosing to focus on the holiday and summer parties instead. Come along for some great ideas and suggestions from our Squidoo lensmasters.
Patriotic Parties Rock!
A patriotic theme is perfect for Memorial Day, Labor Day, and of course, Independence Day. However, it's also perfect for almost any summer celebration. You could use a patriotic theme for events like:
- Family Reunions
- Graduations
- Retirement Parties
- Picnics
- School Reunions and so much more.
It really is a perfect theme all summer long. Let's look at some ideas for patriotic parties from lensmasters.
What Say You, Squidoo?
Starting with lensmaster angelastvs, we get a great overview and party suggestions. From decorations to games to food, she has included lots of ideas in her lens titled: Patriotic Party Planning.
Partybuzz has some great ideas for a budget-friendly party. In her lens, How to Plan a July 4th Party on a Budget, she shares some of the ideas she uses with her own family parties. From centerpieces and decorations on through activity ideas -- all are easy on the wallet.
Finally, Michelle_L shares ideas from her own 4th of July party. Grilling out, crafts and more food and decorations are suggested in this fun lens titled: 4th of July Party Ideas -- Recipes, Crafts and Decorations.
What About You?
Do you have some summer fun family traditions incorporating a patriotic theme? For example, I shared my family's patriotic buffet at the beginning of summer. We'd love to hear about them! Join Squidoo and write your own suggestions and recommendations for free! As the Party Planning Contributor on Squidoo, I'll help you anyway I can as well as promote your party lens(es).
It's all about sharing and helping. Happy Independence Day, America!
I agree, a patriotic party theme is a grand display of patriotism and works well for so many other special occasions too.
ReplyDeleteThis year, it will be just the two of us enjoying our first official holiday in our new home. Some 4th of July food will make our day! Thank you for all of the fantastic selections!
ReplyDeleteThe 4th of July has always been a fun celebration day for our entire family. I do agree with you, I choose to see the cup half empty and enjoy the mid-summer break celebration. What I like most about the 4th of July is that it is a lot less work than most holiday celebrations for me, but I am still surrounded by friends and family :)
