Red White & Blue Party Tablescape

Celebrate the 4th of July with a Red White & Blue Party Tablescape! Get inspired with photos and tips below, and host an amazing July 4th outdoor party.

How do you celebrate Independence Day in style? It’s easy to bring in a little patriotic power with a red white & blue party tablescape. This one was created using everyday items – not a single “themed” item was purchased except for some inexpensive sparklers to add that fun factor!

All you have to do is use color and pattern in a focused way, and resist the urge to buy kitschy holiday-specific pieces that will sit in storage for another year {or be thrown away after the party}. This is a great budget-savvy hosting tip that can be applied to any holiday.

I had so much fun setting this 4th of July tablescape. I think it’s a great “grownup” way to celebrate the holiday with friends and family. I’ve also included a festive July 4th Welcome bar complete with a copy of the Constitution. This will instantly get your guests in the mood to celebrate!

Red, White & Blue Party Welcome Bar & Food

Set up a July 4th Welcome Bar:

• Use whatever themed items you may have on hand, for decor {wood sign, mini flags, printed copy of the Constitution (from Cracker Barrel)}
• Red, white & blue potato chips in individual cones or snack cups
• A blue cocktail is our signature drink, with red maraschino cherry garnish {sliced star fruit would also be great if you can find it}

Food to Serve for your July 4th Party:

• My favorite juicy burgers
• My favorite potato salad {make it with red, white & blue potatoes for a festive touch}
• Red, white & blue trifle
• Individual ice cream cups. Keep them on ice in a bucket inside the freezer until ready to serve.
• Set up an ice cream sandwich & float bar
