Independence Day is approaching, which means it’s time to start preparing for a big BBQ or party. Getting a head start on planning can make the week more relaxed and enjoyable. To celebrate in style, consider decorating with patriotic items that keep your beer cold, showcase your pride, and simplify clean-up. Many of these items are readily available to Amazon Prime members, who can receive their purchases within 24 hours. Among the essential decorations for a Fourth of July party is the American flag, which can be easily found at big box stores like Lowe’s or online at Americanflags.com. Additionally, setting your table with matching decorations, such as tablecloths, cutlery, napkins, and plates, can create a festive atmosphere. Party supplies can be purchased from Amazon or Walmart.
Ensuring that everyone’s favorite drinks remain cold during the party is crucial. Koozies are a popular choice to keep beverages chilled, and options such as president-related koozies can be found at Oriental Trading or Walmart. Providing party favors, such as beaded necklaces, can add to the celebration without breaking the bank. Amazon offers a variety pack of red, white, and blue necklaces, while Oriental Trading has a simpler 48-piece pack available. Sparklers are a hit with both kids and adults and offer a safe alternative to traditional fireworks. Walmart offers options for purchasing six packs or a larger 72-pack for larger gatherings. In outdoor settings, keeping bugs at bay can be a challenge, but citronella candles can help while maintaining a festive atmosphere. Various themed citronella candles can be found on Amazon or through Tiki.
An inflatable American flag cooler can serve as a fun and functional way to display a variety of beverages. Simply inflate the cooler, add ice, and fill it with drinks. Amazon and Oriental Trading offer different options for inflatable coolers to suit different preferences. Adding a Fourth of July wreath to your door can be an easy way to display patriotic flair throughout the summer. Wreaths made of red, white, and blue flowers or American flag bunting are available for purchase from Amazon or Lowe’s. For a classic aesthetic, consider decorating with American flag bunting, which can be hung on porches, windows, or tables. Oriental Trading offers vintage bunting for a retro look, while Walmart provides more affordable, modern-day options. Adding a touch of whimsy to your party with a giant inflatable Uncle Sam can be a fun addition. Options for purchasing a 64-inch Uncle Sam or an Uncle Sam riding a firework can be found at Oriental Trading or Amazon.
