Nothing screams summer more than grilling outdoors, but nothing can compare to a 4th of July barbeque. To help make for an unforgettable 4th, here are a few tips and ideas for your patriotic party;
- It’s the little things that count! Adding small details such as stripped straws, star spangled balloons, or red, white and blue table accents will instantly add a festive touch. Quickly turn one of your old mason jars into Old Glory for a centerpiece or lantern; all you would need is paint! That can also be a craft to keep the kiddies quiet, a win-win!
- Face it, the star of the barbeque is the food. To make your life easier, prepare side dishes and appetizers the night before so you have more time to mingle with guests. Keep in mind that not everybody likes the same food, so having options such as chicken sausage, turkey burgers, and salads are sure crowd pleasers. Don’t forget to have fun with your food! Use a star shaped cookie cutter on watermelon, bread, cookie dough, or even dip in paint for a quick DIY stamp.
- Ambiance is key. Upgrade your outdoor area by adding patriotic streamers and banners, or even go the extra mile and spray paint stars on grass by using construction marking spray paint found at your local home improvement store.
When the sun sets, keep the vibe going by adjusting your Dream Maker Spa LED lights to red or blue. Not in an area where you can view fireworks? Hang these waterproof firework string lights around your hot tub to add the perfect finishing touch on your festivities. Happy 4th of July!
