The Fourth of July isn't just a day to celebrate independence. It's also a day when a countless number of Americans get together to relax and have a great time. With so many get together functions, it can be hard to stand out, but it isn't impossible. If you're tired of a regular backyard barbecue and want something more exciting, here are just some of the things you want to incorporate into your get together.
Great Food
Although they are a backyard staple, there is no unwritten rule that you must serve hot dogs for an Independence Day celebration. If you're going to throw a festive event, make sure your food is equally exciting. A great way to do this is to hire a caterer.
Whether it's potato salad with red, white and blue food coloring or a gourmet burger station, a caterer can take the food for your party to the next level. When you consider the amount of money you have to pay to buy food and the huge time investment you have to make in order to prepare the food, hiring a caterer isn't really that big of an expense after all.
Inflatables
Get the idea that inflatables are just for toddlers and small children out of your head, inflatables can be a world of fun for adults of all ages, too. By renting an inflatable for your party, you can transform your celebration from ordinary to extraordinary. Inflatables don't just come in a variety of different sizes, but they also come in different styles.
Looking for an extreme adventure? Consider renting an obstacle course inflatable. These attractions force you to climb or crawl your way out. If you have a group of competitive people coming over for the holiday, this is a great way to get them involved.
Decorations
The decorations you choose for your event can really set the tone and make your guests feel like you went the extra mile on their behalf. One great idea is to incorporate the American flag, but not in the traditional cloth flag form. Think of other creative ways to create the flag, including bottle caps, mason jars or even a pallet.
These types of additions don't just add to the decor, but they also serve as conversation pieces. Don't forget to add colored string lights so that your party can easily transform from day to night.
With a little effort, you can transform your yearly celebration into something memorable and enjoyable for everyone.
