Best 4th of July Party Ideas!

As we celebrate our nation’s independence this weekend in backyards and banquet halls across the country, Smarty Had A Party has everything you need to create a fun and festive weekend for the whole family.  

• Dress your tables in a patriotic color scheme. It’s not a 4th of July party without the red, white and blue decorations. Our Liberty tablescape shows you how to give your tables a patriotic look that is also elegant and stylish. 

• Get creative with snacks. The three-day weekend gives you a little extra time to prep for your event, so why not try your hand at a simple DIY project. Our Set Sail Snack Boats are creative, clever and oh-so-easy to make. Your guests will love them!

• Stock up on refreshing summer drinks. If you’re having an outdoor bash, it’s important to keep your guests hydrated during this mid-summer soiree. Make sure you have plenty of refreshing beverages on hand, like our seasonally inspired recipe for Raspberry Peach Iced Tea. 

• Don’t forget dessert! With all the grilled goodies, pretty summer salads and buckets of American made beer, it can be easy to forget about the sweets. But that would be a travesty. Try our Patriotic Pops. These tasty—and portable—treats are fun for kids and adults alike.
