Cocktails
Anything red, white, and blue is perfect for your party- just add fruits, food coloring, and colored ice to spice it up. Make a few colorful cocktails virgin so the kids have a special drink too.

If you are over the top (like us) you will want to do everything to make your party special. That means lawn paint and streamers. Use star stencils to paint colored stars on your lawn. It’s easy and looks awesome – it will definitely get people talking.
