1. Snap, Crackle and Pop Fourth of July Party

This will make for a fun kids party. Start with invitations that make a popping sound as you open them to set the mood for the party. For party crafts and activities, choose from making Alka Seltzer Rockets, popping packing bubbles, non-fire popping fireworks etc.

2. Uncle Sam Party For this party, the invitations will no doubt feature Uncle Sam pictures. Even the party activities can include dressing up like Uncle Sam and making Yankee Doodle Hats.

3. Fourth of July Picnic

Get wild with a picnic party. Organize a bike parade for kids and have outdoor games and races for kids. Make sure to use paper tablecloths, napkins and other decorations to avoid the hassle of cleaning up after the party.

4. Fourth of July Pool Party

If you have your own pool, invite family and friends for a pool party. Keep decorations red, white and blue and keep the menu to a simple barbecue or picnic fare. Don’t forget the citronella candles to keep away the mosquitoes. Swimming races will generate enough fun for the day.

5. Fourth of July Beach Bash

Host a beach bash either on a nearby beach or transform your backyard into a beach with beach-themed items. The dress code for the party can be swimwear or Hawaiian attire. Serve refreshing drinks and appetizers to go with them. Beach themed favors can be made at home easily or purchased from a store at a low price.
