How to throw a Classy, Eco-friendly Fourth of July Picnic -Ecopartytime

4th of July celebrations don’t necessarily need to include blue dye and stars and stripes table decorations. There’s a classy way to celebrate the founding of our nation while also maintaining your classy and eco-friendly lifestyle!

Check out our tips for throwing a classy 4th of July picnic for you and your friends to enjoy:

Comfy blankets and festive textures

It’s not a park picnic without some picnic blankets to sit on! Grab your most festive picnic blankets or sheets and head to your favorite open space or park. It’s okay to layer blankets and bring in different textures and colors to the mix. We started with this fun blue and white checkered picnic blanket, added some fun cloths, and these festive red and white eco-friendly napkins!

Everyone loves a cheese board

Say goodbye to hot dogs and burgers (for now!) and opt for a classy cheese board! Pick up a few of your favorite meats, cheeses, and crackers and spread them out on a cutting board. Add in some fruits, vegetables, nuts, and spreads. Add in touches of red and blue — we love these fun and easy berry skewers. Cheese boards are perfect for groups with varying dietary needs since there’s something for everyone!
