Celebrate this Independence Day with with red, white and blue decor, lawn games, and a toast to America.   Start the day with fun in the sun. Rent or create DIY lawn games like corn hole, old-fashioned ring toss, and over sized games such as tic-tac-toe or jumbo Jenga. Water games will help keep everyone cool in the heat. A water slide [bounce house](https://www.gigmasters.com/services/bounce-house) will be a hit for both kids and adults.   Music is essential for an independence celebration, and the options are limitless! Don’t rely on a playlist and speaker to pace the party, hire a professional to do that. Whichever direction, there’s a [performer](https://www.gigmasters.com/events/july-4th-party) for every type of party celebration: DJs, singer guitarists, country bands, trumpeters, variety bands and more. ![](https://itg.thebash.com/hs-fs/hubfs/4th%20of%20july%201.jpg?width=167&name=4th%20of%20july%201.jpg)   Take inspiration from the flag when it comes to food and drink. Traditional barbecue like hotdogs and hamburgers is always a crowd pleaser, but you can make a tablescape more festive by incorporating stars and stripes into the menu (cheese board, desserts). Don’t forget the birthday cake - America turns 242 this year. Replace typical cocktails with something that’s red, white and boozy. There are tons of [patriotic drink recipes](https://www.pinterest.com/gigmasters/4th-of-july-party-2018/) online!   Prepare for after-dark fun once the sun sets. If you’re viewing fireworks provide comfy seating like benches, cushions and blankets. Celebrate America’s birthday with sparklers for everyone. Treat guests to a s’mores table that offers a variety of marshmallow, graham cracker and chocolate options.   The Fourth of July is a great way to get all friends and family together. This day will be full of memories in the making!. Set up a photo station, complete with a patriotic backdrop and photo props. If you have enough party planning to think about, a [photo booth rental](https://www.gigmasters.com/services/photo-booths) can do all the work for you. ![](https://itg.thebash.com/hs-fs/hubfs/4th%20of%20july%203.jpg?width=300&name=4th%20of%20july%203.jpg)![](https://itg.thebash.com/hs-fs/hubfs/4th%20of%20july%204.jpg?width=300&name=4th%20of%20july%204.jpg)                         Are you ready to start planning your 4th of July party?
