Today, I will be sharing some step-by-step ideas on how to host an easy red, white, and blue themed get-together! With summer holidays like Memorial Day and the Fourth of July just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to get inspired and celebrate. Here are some fun and festive hosting ideas to elevate your gatherings:
Star Spangled Ice Cubes
Add a twist to your drinks with these Star Spangled Ice Cubes! 🎆 Simply add red fruit, such as strawberries, and blueberries to an ice tray. I love to cute my strawberries or watermelons into stars first, so it’s super festive. Not only does this elevate the look of your beverages, but they’re also deliciously edible. Perfect for Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of July, or just because you love fruit! 🍓🫐🥥
I also love adding fun ice to my drink cooler for delightful surprises as guests grab a beverage!
Firecracker Cocktail 🧨
Make a splash with a Firecracker Cocktail or Mocktail this summer! This refreshing drink is great for all your summer festivities, from Memorial Day to the Fourth of July and beyond.
To prepare, pour your favorite sparkling wine and top it with a bomb pop for a colorful twist. For the kids, simply use sparkling water topped with a bomb pop; as they melt, they’ll turn the drinks into vibrant colors! It’s a fun way to keep everyone cool and entertained!
Red, White & Blue Yogurt Parfait
Looking for a tasty and colorful treat that’s also a little bit healthy? Red, White & Blue Yogurt Parfaits are a fantastic option.
They incorporate the festive colors while delivering a delicious mix of flavors. Layer yogurt with strawberries and blueberries for a refreshing and visually appealing dish.
Depending on the yogurt’s sugar content, they can lean into the dessert category, but these parfaits make a perfect ending to any brunch or lunch, especially during summer celebrations!
Easy DIY Fireworks Cake
Add some excitement to your dessert table with an Easy DIY Fireworks Cake! This simple yet festive dessert can be transformed into a mini firework show at home. Just add sparkler candles and light them up in the evening for the ultimate holiday charm! It’s a playful way to wrap up your celebratory meal.
These easy and festive ideas will help you create an unforgettable patriotic tablescape for your upcoming gatherings. Get ready to celebrate with style and flavor, and enjoy every moment with loved ones. Happy hosting! 🎉🇺🇸
