At the end of the evening let your guests take a bell home as a party favor. Your friends’ young children will thank you … Your friends will not!

Fun facts:
- On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress established the U.S. flag. In 1960, our flag became the flag we know and love today after Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959.
- The colors of the flag signify hardiness and valor (red); purity and innocence (white); and vigilance, perseverance, and justice (blue).
- Inspiring the “Star-Spangled Banner” in 1814 and the Pledge of Allegiance in 1892, the U.S. flag has been flown on the North Pole, Mt. Everest, and even in outer space!
Decoration tips:
- Pick up some red, white, and blue streamers at a party store. Weave them together to make a textile for the table. Create a plaid pattern or a design that resembles the American flag.
- Purchase three disposable vinyl table clothes: red, white, and blue. Cut a strip from each, tape them together, and place a Freedom candle where red and white meet, and another Freedom candle where white and blue come together.
- Visit a thrift store and locate clothing made from red, white, or blue cloth. You get bonus points for clothing with stars in the pattern. Cut up and reassemble when you get home!
- Pick up red, white, and blue handkerchiefs for your guests to use as napkins.
- Use a red and white checkered cloth tablecloth for something that can be used every day, not just the holiday.

Fun facts:
- John Adams called fireworks “illuminations.”
- In 1777, Philadelphia celebrated the Fourth of July with fireworks to mark the one-year anniversary of our country.
- Americans explode nearly one pound of fireworks per person in the U.S.
Decoration tips:
- Find a tablecloth at a party store with fireworks as its repeated pattern.
- Locate wrapping paper with a fireworks design.
- Take matters into your own hands. Literally! Tie dye a white cotton table cloth with red and blue dye!
- Short on time? Buy some star-shaped red, white, and blue confetti and sprinkle it on the tablecloth. Done! The haphazardness of it is, in this case, quite charming!
- Have kids? Give them red, white, and blue crayons and large sheets of manila sketching paper. Even if the children are young and can’t draw (recognizable) fireworks, it will still look cool and guests will get the gist.
- Cut the paper left over that hasn’t been spilled on and recycle it into refrigerator art or wrapping paper. Or, think of your own use!
- Buy doilies in red, white, and blue and place at random on the table.
- Pick up some red, blue, and gold star stickers – you know, the ones you got in elementary school when you did a good job on a spelling test? Take a white tablecloth and use the stickers to create a festive pattern. Enjoy the nostalgia and have fun!
