Tomorrow is the first official day of summer and the 4th of July is right around the corner! I'm going to visit an old college roommate in Boston over the 4th of July weekend. I'm excited to go to the beach for a day, watch some fireworks and catch up with an old friend!
I love the 4th of July because it's a chance to get together with friends and family and throw a little outdoor bbq or party. There are a lot of fun ideas and party decorations for the 4th floating around blog land.
How cute are these 4th of July cupcakes? In years past, I've made the traditional flag cake with strawberries and blueberries. This is a great alternative for guests.
I'm on a recent s'mores kick since it's the quintessential summertime treat. This is a great idea for the 4th. Create a s'mores station. Fun for kids and adults!
You can also make some fun festive party decorations. Like these star medallians. These would be super cute to hang from your trees or deck.
And I'm sure you've seen these paper pinwheels all over the blogisphere.
These would be super cute as cupcake toppers or as centerpieces.
And in honor of the 4th, I have a little giveaway for you guys!
One lucky person will win 6 of these 4th of July inspired pinwheels to use for their 4th of July bash!
