PARTY DETAILS as told by Rebeckah

I love the 4th of July! I love what it stands for and I love getting all our friends and family together. I thought this year we would have an Americana picnic in a huge open field that the kids could run around in. Using the classic red, blue and white color scheme, I popped in burlap and natural color elements to give it a classic, rustic feel.

Keeping a simple menu is key for a happy hostess! We kept ours simple with hot dogs, french fries, peanuts, popcorn, jello sugar cookies, watermelon stars and a layered dessert. Most of it was picked up at the local grocery store and took minimal prep time. One of my favorite things to do is color my water or milk for a party with food coloring. The kids are so excited to drink the mystery drinks and topped with some cute straws and flags, they pull all the decor together.

I also created a little area for the kids to rest. These kids get tired from all the running around, so I laid out a blanket and some pillows from the house. They love when they have spots created just for them!

We want you to have a glorious 4th of July, so download your full set of these 4th of July party printables to enjoy!
