$\"All-American$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Jen Carver of Banner Events<\/a> here to share a 4th of July Party that I put together recently.<\/p>\n

We love celebrating Independence Day with an All-American 4^{th<\/sup> of July celebration<\/b><\/a>.\u00a0 When we realized we were off the hook this year for planning & hosting the big festivities for the 4^{th<\/sup>, we decided to throw our own 4th of July celebration in honor of the great love we feel for our country and\u00a0 the freedoms we enjoy.\u00a0 We instantly fell in love with the printable}}\u201cAll-American Collection\u201d<\/b><\/a> by Anders Ruff Custom Designs.\u00a0 Incorporating the traditional red, white and blue color scheme, festive patriotic decorations & a few simple homemade and store bought treats, we celebrated the good ol\u2019 USA in style!<\/p>\n

With less than 24 hours to pull off our 4th of July celebration, we focused on a simple, but colorful dessert table with some of our family favorites.\u00a0 Our dessert table backdrop was created by covering a large mirror in my living room with some blue wrapping paper from The Dollar Tree, adding an inexpensive patriotic fabric bunting<\/a>, some eye-catching red, white and blue paper fans and the fabulous printable \u201cJuly 4^{th<\/sup>\u201d bunting from}Anders Ruff\u2019s<\/b><\/a> collection.<\/p>\n

4th of July<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
We covered our dessert table with a cherry red table cloth and a red and white striped \u201cparty paper\u201d runner from Smash Cake & Co.<\/b><\/a>**\u00a0 <\/b>Red cake plates were raised on red and white Coca Cola crates and provided a home to delicious red velvet cupcakes with the cutest baking cups from** **Hoopla Events<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n**
**$\"All-American$ <\/a><\/p>\n**
We added a little festive flair to each cupcake by topping them off with printable logos using label paper from **Online Labels<\/b><\/a> \u00a0and designs from the** **\u201cAll-American Collection\u201d<\/b><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0We affixed the labels\u00a0to paper straws from** **Hoopla Events<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n**
**$\"All-American$ <\/a><\/p>\n**
**In the center of our table was a pretty white square cake stand displaying store bought sugar cookies with sprinkles and royal blue frosting.\u00a0 My kids love these!<\/p>\n**
**$\"All-American$ <\/a><\/p>\n**
Tall apothecary jars, embellished with patriotic ribbon and filled with sparkly star garland from The Dollar Tree, flanked each side of the cookie stand.\u00a0 Mini pies, tied up in blue and white twine and accessorized with flag picks were neatly displayed on more white cake stands.<\/p>\n
**$\"All-American$ <\/a><\/p>\n**
**$\"4th_of_july_party_35\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n**
We tried a\u00a0new recipe this year.\u00a0\u00a0Stacked red velvet star brownies with vanilla icing and blueberry topping were added to the menu.\u00a0 These were so delicious and simple to make using a star cookie cutter, store bought brownie mix and frosting.\u00a0 Don\u2019t they look pretty lined up on the white platters?<\/p>\n
**$\"All-American$ <\/a><\/p>\n**
**$\"All-American$ <\/a><\/p>\n**
**A trendy addition to our dessert table was the ceramic candy dish letters which spelled out USA.\u00a0 We filled the dishes with red, white and blue candies for easy nibbling.<\/p>\n**
**$\"4th_of_july_party_02\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n**
Finally, we included a few red and white striped favor bags to hold some American flags.\u00a0 (If we had hosted guests for this party, they would have been a great option to send guests home with some of their favorite treats.)<\/p>\n
**$\"All-American$ <\/a><\/p>\n**
Our dining table was full of fun 4^{th<\/sup> of July inspiration.\u00a0 I love setting colorful place settings by layering chargers and plates.\u00a0 We used royal blue chargers for this tablescape and stacked the darling red\/white striped paper plates from Hoopla Events on top.\u00a0 We displayed red, white and blue napkins in coordinating striped paper water cups.<\/p>\n}
**$\"All-American$ <\/a><\/p>\n**
**<\/p>\n**
$\"All-American$ <\/a>We also included glass milk bottles with precious \u201cI Love USA\u201d beverage wraps and a paper party straw with a preppy party flag for those who wanted to have something in addition to water to quench their thirst.\u00a0 (We had red and blue Gatorade.)\u00a0 Of course, the label paper from **Online Labels<\/b><\/a> , made it so easy to affix these 4th of July labels to the glass bottles and straws.<\/p>\n**
**$\"All-American$ <\/a><\/p>\n**
We added red and blue take-out boxes to the table as well, so our kids could claim their treats at the treat table and save some for later.\u00a0 We loved adding the darling heart logo to the front of each container and embellishing each with a printable tag, tied up with twine.\u00a0 $\"All-American$ <\/a>Our centerpiece was created by adding some artificial flowers to an old metal milk jug, adding a cute 4th of July label to the front and carefully placing party picks we made from elements of Anders Ruff\u2019s collection to paper straws.\u00a0 We thought it looked so festive! $\"All-American$ <\/a><\/p>\n
**<\/p>\n**
$\"All-American$ <\/a>Whether you celebrate big or small on the 4^{th<\/sup> of July, we hope your 4th of July celebration is full of the All-American details that remind you of your gratitude for the blessings you enjoy by living here.\u00a0 From our home to yours, Happy 4^{th<\/sup> of July!<\/p>\n}}
