How to Throw an Epic American Themed Party
American themed parties are always a hit, no matter the age of the guests. Whether you’re celebrating the Fourth of July, a birthday, or just a weekend get together, you can’t go wrong with a little red, white, and blue. Here are some tips to help you make your American themed party the talk of the town.
Create a Patriotic Invitation
Send out invites with a festive and patriotic design. You can make your own invitations with cardstock, red, white, and blue markers, and stickers. Or you can search online for free printable invites. Consider adding a “dress code” to your invitation that requires guests to wear pieces of clothing or accessories in the colors of the American flag. This will make for a colorful crowd at your party.
Choose the Perfect Decorations
Decorations can be as simple or as elaborate as you want. You can find a variety of red, white, and blue decorations online or at a party store. For a more personalized and budget-friendly approach, you can also make your own decorations. Use blue and white streamers, balloons, and tablecloths to create a festive atmosphere. Hang red, white, and blue banners or bunting around the room. You can also make a garland of stars and stripes by cutting out paper stars and stripes and stringing them together with red and blue ribbon.
Get Creative with Food and Drinks
Make your menu as American as possible! Offer dishes like hamburgers and hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, corn on the cob, and apple pie. You can even use food coloring and sprinkles to turn regular cupcakes into red, white, and blue treats. As for drinks, consider making a signature blue punch or offering a selection of American beers, wines, and ciders.
Plan Fun Activities
Make sure to have plenty of activities to keep your guests entertained. Have a karaoke machine so guests can sing their favorite American tunes. Set up a game of cornhole or horseshoes. You can also set up a photo booth with props such as mini flags, Uncle Sam hats, and star-shaped glasses. And don’t forget to have the American national anthem playing when guests arrive so they can show their patriotism.
Conclusion
An American themed party is sure to be a hit with your guests. With a little creativity and some party supplies, you can create an unforgettable Fourth of July celebration, birthday bash, or weekend get together. So get those decorations up, pick out the perfect menu, and get ready for some fun!
