4th of July Party Ideas ⋆ Growing Up Kemper

I’ve always loved everything about 4th of July. The fireworks, the food, the summer games, the parade, the reverting back to a slower time with friends and family. All that nostalgia and tradition makes my heart so happy.

Jerod even proposed to me on a night with 4th of July fireworks!

What babies!! And I was so unsuspecting that THIS is what I was wearing when he proposed…🤨

Growing up in Pennsylvania, we weren’t allowed to set off our own fireworks, so I was a sparkler child. Waving those little fire sticks around and loving every minute of it! Now that I live in Missouri where fireworks are legal outside the KC city limits, I’m blown away that we have the ability to set off professional grade fireworks from a field. 😯 The first time I went out to my in-laws property to set off these massive fireworks, I was told so many stories about fireworks gone wrong. Wait…what?!

But alas, as much as I may be terrified of setting off huge fireworks sans a massive fire suit, I love the 4th of July more than most.

So are you throwing a little shindig this 4th? Looking for a little party inspiration? Or maybe just planning a fun day at home with your kids? I’ve got you covered! I scoured online to find all the perfect dinnerware to decor to simple party pieces that will make your 4th fun, festive, and oh so Americana!

2-Piece Stars and Strips Dinnerware Set // Inflatable Patriotic Buffet Cooler // Patriotic Chip Bowl // 3-Compartment Party Tray // 18″ American Flag Wood Curl Wreath // 72″ Embroidered Americana Table Runner // Mini Stars Tablecloth // 6-Count Hot Dog Baskets // Americana Salad and Dinner Plates // Set of 4 American Flag Stoneware Plates // Red, White, and Blue Paper Straws, set of 24 // Set of 4 Acrylic Wine Glasses

No parties this year? No parade? No fireworks celebration? Here’s a few pieces that can make it festive at home with some cute 4th of July pieces for the kids! Just because we may not be going anywhere doesn’t mean we can’t make it special. Being at home in your red, white, and blue can be just as memorable!
