Patriotic Porch Party

It’s summertime, and the sippin’ is easy!
Front porch sitting and sipping on some cold drinks in the summer is one of my favorite things to do! So when the 4th of July rolls around, I’m all about giving the porch a little patriotic glow-up and spending some quality holiday time out there with our friends and fam.
A nice tablecloth, some simple tableware and a few fresh flowers are all that are needed to transform a porch table into a pretty, patriotic tablescape. Tuck a few flags into the flower arrangements and you’ve got instant festive flair.
To give your 4th of July celebration the proper dose of red, white and blue, try hanging some paper party fans on the porch wall. Party fans add great texture and instant pizzazz, and they’re so affordable! I used them as the backdrop for our dessert table, then just added a few pretty plants at the base of the table to give depth to the display. Super easy and gave the porch a really cute patriotic feel!
Classic, old-fashioned games are fun to have on hand for your porch party. We painted some wooden games from Oriental Trading with some red, white and blue paint for the occasion, then sat them out on a table by some rocking chairs to encourage a little friendly competition. It was such a fun day!
It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for a pretty table. I just love making it look nice and creating a special seat for everyone!
Last week I shared ideas for a Patriotic Porch Party and got quite a few comments about the tablescape.
I thought it might be helpful to share a mood board with some similar items so that you could easily recreate the look for your own patriotic celebration.
All of the items shown in the mood board are available via Amazon Prime, so even if you’re late to the game and are just starting to plan, you can still get these goodies…in some cases, the very next day after you order. Gotta love Amazon!
