Setting the table has to be one of my all-time favorite aspects of partying. With just a little effort, and multiple matching supplies, you’re table can be a show-stopper. Here are a few of my faves for the fourth:

 

Using galvanized tubs has become pretty popular over the last few years. Fill some with ice and serve chilled bottles of red soda!

Red foods are perfect for a patriotic punch of color. These red vines are wrapped in starry blue paper!

There is a time for red gingham and that time is now. Pick some up at your local fabric store and throw it over your picnic table.

This is called Independence Punch. And every party better have some next Wednesday.

 When in doubt, incorporate wood & twine. Different textures help to balance everything out. And serving your food on little wooden blocks and planks gives it a little lift!
