Independence Day is the perfect holiday to get together with friends, family and neighbors for a cook-out and celebration. Here are some tips for making your 4th of July holiday stylish outdoors:
  • Decorate your outdoor space with patriotic shades of red, white and blue in the tablecloths, napkins, flowers, table toppers, and more. Add a unique touch by making American flag chair covers that you can reuse year after year.
  • Whether you’re spending time on land or on water, don’t forget to use a water and sweat resistant, broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Purchase several pairs of cheap sunglasses and hats from your local dollar store for forgetful guests.
  • The 4th of July wouldn’t be complete without a cook-out on the grill. Fire up All-American favorites like hotdogs and hamburgers in your outdoor kitchen. It’s the perfect gathering place so you can continue to entertain your guests as you tantalize their senses.
  • Whip up a refreshing dessert like this Rosy Strawberry Sorbet. Your guests will love a cold tasty treat on a hot day, and it’s the perfect hue for the holiday!
  • Extended periods of time in the sun can cause fatigue. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Freeze BPA-free water bottles overnight and bring them outside to melt in the sun during the celebration. The ice will melt while you’re busy having fun and a revitalizing cold drink will await you.
  • Plan games or activities to keep your guests of all ages entertained. Lawn games like a bean bag toss or croquet are fun for both children and adults.
  • End the evening with everyone gathered around the fire pit for marshmallow roasting, s’mores making and storytelling.
