The thought of hosting a Fourth of July party with your closest family and friends may sound a bit overwhelming, but it doesnt have to be. Entertaining a group of people on such an anticipated holiday is likely to stir up some pre-party anxiety for the host who worries more about guest enjoyment than their own.
The folks at Readers.com want to wisp your worries away, so we are here to suggest a few Independence Day party ideas that your guests can leisurely participate in when an itch of boredom is near. These ideas not only aim to eliminate the lull between the food, fireworks, and chatter, but also encourage group participation, which develops a sense of camaraderie amongst your guests. These ideas leave the host with less time to fret about entertaining and more time to take part in the Fourth of July fun!
Patriotic Puzzle
Display a rather complicated Fourth of July themed puzzle on top of a small table with plenty of seating. Guests can enjoy a cold, patriotic drink around the puzzle table to unwind. Who doesn’t like the feeling of fitting a complicated puzzle piece with its match?
Festive Word Search
Offer a stack of Independence Day inspired word searches with patriotic pens for guest to enjoy as they please. Word searches can be found online and printed on patriotic paper for an extra splash of décor.
U.S. Beaded Flag Pin
Guests will enjoy the opportunity to take part in a small craft. Beaded patriotic pins are a fun way to dress your guests up with festive embellishments. All you need is small red, white, and blue plastic beads, and medium-to-large safety pins. For that extra touch of patriotism, offer star charms and decorative beads.
Independence Day Quiz
Nobody likes to take a quiz … unless there is a prize for the best score that is! Place a short, American History quiz in a location different from the word search and encourage your guests to take part in the fun for a chance to win a patriotic prize. Friends and family will find humor in how much or how little… they know about American History. You can find all sorts of short quizzes online or create your own. Allow guests to take the quiz when they please and place their completed paper into a large envelop. When the party is winding down, announce the guest who will be taking home the fabulous prize.
Americana Party Favors
Perhaps you or one of your guests will need a pair of readers to fully appreciate these fun activities. Ditch your plain, day-to-day reading glasses for a fun, patriotic look that your friends and family will adore. The Americana reader is the perfect accessory for the Fourth of July festivities that are quickly approaching.
The Fourth of July is meant to be a relaxing summer day with family and friends. Dont worry about throwing a lavish, constantly-entertaining Independence Day party. If you invite the right people, your bash will be a hit no matter what!
