Create A Music Playlist
Set the mood for your summer party with a playlist. Be sure to pick a variety of songs that will appeal to all of your guests from genres like oldies, classic rock, and pop. By creating your playlist ahead of time, you’ll be able to focus on prepping other party items day-of! -
Plan on Extra Seating
While getting ready for your July 4th festivities, make room for additional seating to accommodate your guests. Round up folding chairs and tables, and find some benches that can seat several people. If you’re having your party outside, help your friends and family beat the heat by setting up a tent or umbrella for shade. -
Set Up A Photo Station
Give your guests something fun to do at your Independence Day party with a photo booth. Include props like sunglasses, hats, and flags—or print photo props of your own—so you and your guests can take photos and have something fun to remember your party by!
