4th of July Decorations for a BBQ
Patriotic Plates, Cups, and Napkins
Loving these viral scalloped, reusable plastic plates. They’re reasonably priced and, since they are neutral, they will work for all of your outdoor parties throughout the summer. Then, add a pop of red, white, and blue with these cute disposable cups and cutlery. Lastly, I designed these red and white striped bow napkins that can be personalized with a name and occasion – available in my Etsy shop.
Woven Outdoor Serveware
Having a caddy to put utensils, plates, and napkins in is both practical and cute. This trendy woven caddy from Walmart is under $20. If you’re serving wine, this woven bottle holder from the same collection would help keep your cookout beverage station organized. While I typically advocate for using basics that can be repurposed, sometimes it’s fun to mix in a holiday-specific serveware piece, like this blue star chip and dip holder.
Patriotic Personalized Invitation and Banner
In my printables Etsy shop, you can find this watercolor American flag invitation template. The self-editing template can be either printed or shared in a text or email. Then, in my other Etsy shop, this red, white, and blue bow banner is printed and shipped to you. It comes personalized with your choice of a name and occasion. Available in several sizes, it is great for behind a buffet table or as a photo backdrop.
Fourth of July Centerpiece Idea
For a simple 4th of July decoration for your table, I like this red and white striped table runner. I’d recommend pairing with with ginger jars filled with real or faux hydrangea. For some low lighting, you could also include battery powered tea lights in gold candle holders.
Side Table Cooler You’ll Use All Summer
Lastly, I love this side table that doubles as a cooler. We have had a similar one on our deck since last summer and have gotten so much use out of it. It’s perfect to fill with ice to chill your beverages of choice
