How to Plan a Simple Patriotic Theme Party!

We’ve all been to plenty of patriotic parties over the years. Most are filled with food, friends, family, and fun! If you’re looking to give your party that little something extra special this year, try the following options:

Patriotic Theme Party Decorations

Most patriotic themed celebrations carry the traditional red, white, and blue color scheme. You can look for things in this color scheme like fabrics, cushions, flags, or gift wraps around your house and arrange them around your dessert table for a festive look.

Use the American flag as the backdrop for the dessert table. For additional pops of color, consider our bandcamp tassel garlands. Our patriotic theme fan garland would be a great addition to your decorations. If you’re feeling extra festive, try both!

White daisies and mini red carnations can be arranged in blue mason jars for the perfect table centerpieces.

Painted ceramic pots with stars and stripes are decorative and convenient! Or, you could take some old tin cans and wrap them in patriotic theme papers or old fabric scraps. Use them to store silverware, straws, or some fun pinwheels that the kids will love.

Patriotic Theme Party Desserts

Cupcakes are a hit at any party,but use the wrapper for your patriotic themed party. The old fashioned stars and stripes design on Cupcake Wrappers is the perfect addition to your favorite flavor cupcakes. Party planning can get a bit hectic, so you’ll appreciate how simple these are to assemble and display! These wrappers are ideal for vintage patriotic theme parties as well.You can purchase them at Etsy.com

Another simple idea is to purchase or bake a rectangular cake with white frosting and then layer it with strawberries and blueberries in a flag pattern. Using fruits as decorations will avoid the usage of artificial red and blue colors. This flag sheet cake is another centerpiece option for your table setting.

The Patriotic themed cookies is a nice gift for the soldier or veteran in your life. You can also make a nice display with the flag, star, and bald eagle cookie shapes on your dessert table! Individual cookies can be wrapped in cello bags with natural twine and can be distributed as party favors.

Patriotic Theme Party Drinks

Dress up your holiday cocktails with cut watermelon in star shapes, blueberries, and our Eco-Friendly paper straws. With a variety of colors you’ll be sure to find the perfect match for your party theme. We suggest the red and blue to accent the patriotic theme. Kids will love these colorful straws, too!
