Independence Day is next weekend and while our 4th of July Celebrations will look a little different this year, we can still celebrate! We may not be gathering in large groups to watch the city’s firework display (#canceled), but we can gather in our backyards with some friends and family to get our party on. Today I am sharing ALL the things you need to pull off a festive July 4th celebration. We all know I love a theme and I had so much fun putting together all the party essentials needed for this red, white & blue celebration, most of which come from Amazon or Target. Convenience is key these days.
See below for EVERYTHING you need to pull off the MOST festive 4th of July Party this Summer!

Citonella candles are a must at a backyard party, especially down here in the south. These pails will add to the festiveness (is that a word?) to your party.

Kids and adults will love these “USA” themed temporary tattoos. It’s a great activity for your guests.

Since they have canceled a lot of the fireworks shows and fireworks are technically illegal in our county (although I have been hearing them lately), we gotta fin other ways to be festive. These confetti popper are fun and less dangerous.

You can’t have a summer shindig without ice cream, preferable homemade. These cups would be so cute at a July 4th celebration.

I say you can never have enough white platters. This large plastic one from Target is really simple and cute.

You can not get a more more perfectly themed table runner than this one.
