With Memorial Day just around the corner, I wanted to start gathering ideas for an outdoor party. The best holiday merch always seems to go quickly and early – so I try to buy ahead and tuck things away until the actual holiday.
Bonus – You can easily reuse these items for 4th of July and any other flag day!
If you’re like me, you prefer decor with a modern twist. That is the frame of mind I had as I was searching for these items, all easily ordered from Amazon!
I tracked down serveware, paper goods, utensils, linens, and more that would be perfect for your patriotic holiday cookouts. To help you with some styling ideas, I sprinkled in some tips and ideas for things you can try at your gathering to make it an even more memorable occasion!

This post is all about Amazon 4th of July.
Amazon 4th of July Finds
Tablecloths
Tablecloths are essential for Memorial Day and 4th of July outdoor celebrations. I bought the blue and white stripe tablecloth on the left last summer and loved using it. And I have my eye on the red striped tablecloth as an update for this summer.
Tip: Choose tablecloths that are in the holiday color palette but not super that holiday, you know? That way you can use them for more than just that one day.
Placemats
Add an extra punch to your patriotic tablescape with a contrasting placemat. If your tablecloth is blue, consider a red or gold placemat. Or if your tablecloth is red, go for the blue or gold placemat.
Tablerunners
Pull your tablescape look together with a tablerunner. You can also use them on your buffet instead of – or in addition to – your table.
Cloth Napkins
If cloth napkins are called for at your celebration, opt for a subtle nod to the holiday. I bought the blue star napkins last summer and loved using them!
Napkin Rings
Complete your cloth napkin look with a pretty napkin ring. Any of these options would work all summer long. And the star could be used during Christmas too!
Patriotic Paper Napkins
I’m always on the hunt for cute paper napkins, and patriotic celebrations are no exception! If you’d rather not use them on your main table, you can add them to your appetizer or dessert station.
Outdoor Plates
Any of these melamine plates could work for you throughout the summer. I especially love the one that looks like a paper plate. It’s a little playful but still clean and simple.
Paper Plates
Whether you’re using paper throughout your red, white, and blue party decorations or just for appetizers or desserts, these picks should have you covered.
Tip: If you choose a simple plate, you can jazz up the overall look with bolder napkins in the holiday theme. This gives you a collected look without buying a complete matching set.
Red, White, and Blue Serveware
For Memorial Day and 4th of July, have a few holiday-specific serveware pieces on hand. And they don’t all have to be matching from the same collection. As long as they’re in the same color palette, you should be good to go.
Cutlery
Upgrade your disposable cutlery with these designer options. I have bought and used the bamboo and think they’re pretty great. And I have my eye on trying one – or both – of the other two for summer meals.
Tip: Minimize leftover waste by choosing disposable items that are not holiday specific. That way, they can be used for other future events.
Glassware
The two clear and gold picks are plastic and acrylic. But I couldn’t not share the beer glass with a flag print. While it is glass, I think this is a fun, modern option if you’re having a smaller gathering and don’t need to buy a bunch of glassware.
Drink Dispensers
Beverage dispensers make it easy for guests to help themselves. One less thing for you to worry about as hostess!
Beverage Coolers
Display your bottled beverages in style! I especially LOVE the red cooler, and you will not believe how reasonably priced it is!
Tip: Don’t forget to have a bottle opener and place to put caps nearby.
Centerpieces
Keep your centerpiece simple by displaying faux or fresh blue hydrangea with flags in vases. For evening events, add tea lights in copper holders for a warm glow.
Decorations
Polish off your patriotic party with festive decorations, and you can’t go wrong with bunting. It always looks sophisticated.
Tip: Look for unexpected ways to decorate, like a bunting door mat or a star blanket casually placed your outdoor furniture.
