Use simple items to decorate Looking for an affordable way to decorate? Consider bringing back red or blue garland from the winter holidays and draping them from arbors and awnings, suggests Shauna Smith Duty in her Fourth of July planning article on thriftyfun.com. For tabletops, she recommends filling clear containers with tap water colored with red and blue food coloring, then adding white carnations. Over time, the carnations will absorb the colored water and turn red or blue. Another way to add a patriotic vibe is by picking up a bundle of small American flags from an arts and crafts store and decorating your yard or walkway by sticking the wooden dowels or rods into the ground or in planters. Lead them to the all-American grub What’s a party without the food? And we’re not talking about mystery meat or questionable cole slaw. Whether you decide to provide munchies or host a potluck, everyone will appreciate knowing what they’re putting on their plate. There’s no question as to what’s what when each food item is clearly identified with a mini tent card using Avery Folded Business Cards. These cards also make it easy to call out certain dishes, such as vegetarian plates or food that contain nuts. If you’re hosting a potluck, you may want to ask your guests when they RSVP what they’re planning to bring so you can print the cards ahead of time. And be sure to give your cards a little patriotic charm with design options from Avery Design & Print Online. You’ll all have fun with a raffle Life, liberty and the pursuit of… prizes. Throwing a raffle is a fun way to supercharge the gang. Create numbered pairs of raffle cards with Avery Clean Edge® Business Cards. Each pair should display the same number. Present a card to each guest when they arrive and place the matching card in a fishbowl for the drawing. When it’s time to do the raffle, start off with small prizes and work your way up to the grand prize to build up the anticipation. We all have our own unique ways of displaying our patriotic side. Celebrate your Independence Day holiday the star-spangled way, with a little help from Avery. |
