It's that time of year. We're approaching the halfway mark of 2009 and the upcoming Independence Holiday. When looking for the perfect girls outfit for your summer get together, visit Sophias Style Children's Clothing Store.
Here are some tips to throw a fun and safe 4th of July party.
*Preparation - My tip for this is..LARGE trashcans with the extra large bags in there. If you have a couple of these handy, then cleanup will be a breeze. If your local regulations allow you to light off fireworks, make sure you have a large (5 gallon) bucket of water and another filled about halfway with sand. That will help in putting out sparklers or disposing of used fireworks. You'll need chairs but when you invite people, have them bring their own chairs. One less thing for you to drag out.
*Food - well, that's an easy one. Burgers and dogs on the BBQ is the standard. You can prepare in advance the toppings and have them sitting out for the people to grab. Chips are another staple of 4th of July fun. Dessert..now that's my favorite subject. You can easily just do watermelon or even some boxes of Popsicles. A always, make sure you tell people that they can bring items to lesson the load on you. Paper plates and plastic cups are the perfect utensils for this day. You can buy them in red, white and blue to help with the party theme.
*Invites - Just give everyone a holler. Tell the neighbors, your friends your family. Don't start the party too early, everyone will be exhausted by the time the big show starts.
When the time comes, sit back and enjoy our Nation's Independence. Make sure someone is keeping an eye on the kids (both large and small)!
