A patriotic theme party is not just for the 4th of July, but for stressful political campaigns, as well. Yet when the planning is done right with organizational steps it'll make the process less chaotic. First things first, a guest list to work from when sending out the invitations to the party. This guest list maybe small or large, but is an important step. When the number of guests is set, this will help determine the rest of the party needs.A patriotic theme party needs patriotic supplies. The colors for the party supplies should focus on red, white and blue. First red table cloths to place on the table to start with, then use white for the utensils for the party. The plates in blue will be prefect to go with the theme, but so would either of the other two colors. Mixing and matching the colors of the napkins might be fun, or get napkins with the American flag already on them. Well that covers the tables, but there is much more that could be done with these colors. For example having streamers hung around the location in the three various colors would help bring a more festive spirit to the event.The next step to our patriotic theme party is to determine what the all-American feast will consist of. Having sent invitations to have guest over, there should be food for them to eat. A menu for this party could include, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and steaks making up the main part of the meal. Side dishes for the party might include such things as; green bean casserole, corn on the cob, potato salad and potato chips. Sometimes condiments are just as important as the main dishes, so try to match up the right toppings for the meal. For grilling purposes make sure the grill is ready to go, either there is gas or pick up charcoal for the grill. This all makes for mouth watering food that provides choices to the guest. And don't forget the patriotic dessert ideas, like a red, white & blue parfait, or a strawberry shortcake with a layer of blueberries.When the tiniest details are planned ahead, a patriotic party theme day free of stress will be the reward. When the party comes together, remember to enjoy the day.
