Decorations

Of course this is the holiday to break out everything red, white or blue that you own! We love to reuse decorations from previous years and add just a few new ones. 3 years in we have a nice collection now!

My sister is doing a balloon dog theme this year (and will keep it going every year after!). This wreath sash is the first thing our guests will see when they get to the house. I love that it sets the tone immediately! It's also cute for the duration...

Love the fun balloons that come in this kit! Usually I recommend some extra foil balloons to bring these kits some extra pizzaz, but this kit really has everything you need.

Hosting Supplies

It can be hard to remember everything you need while also trying to be creative with decor. Maybe not all of these things are absolutely necessary, but they definitely help while hosting!

Platters are something I am going to always encourage you to thrift first- they are a dime a dozen at the thrift store! But if you really want to have matching ones that are specifically patriotic, these ones are great!

A new addtion this year is the standing cooler! I think it's just a little bit more elevated than your average cooler. We of course will still have regular coolers on the ground, but this will be great for white whine and champagne.

Every year my sister gets some sort of water feature. The first year we just did a tarp for a water slide and while it was fun, the tarp moved around a lot and many of us woke up the next day with mysterious marks! A true slip and slide is worth the ...
