It's that time of year when you begin to plan your Fourth of July celebration. 
Of course, you want to include the kids in the fun too!
Check below for easy, budget-friendly ways to make the 4th of July full of family fun!
Decorations
- Instead of filling vases with flowers, fill them with blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries... yummy and festive looking.Guests can scoop the berries out and add whipped cream... truly red, white, and blue!
- Use different shapes of vases to hold dips and chips as well. These make great centerpieces, as well as unique serving dishes.

American Girl Kids' Party Ideas
American Girl Kit Kittredge is on her way to the big screen this summer in an adventure of a lifetime! Kit's story takes place during the depression in America, where her family is getting by when her father seeks work in a big city, and her mom and Kit get along by taking in boarders to their home who have colorful personalities, including a magician, a dance, a librarian, darling dog Grace, and even a Monkey.
It's going to be an adventure when Kit comes across a mystery she must solve to save her family's home and keep them together. This is going to be a fantastic movie this summer, and will be a great party this summer too.
An American Girl Party can be done several different ways... it would make for a wonderful tea party or slumber party.

| Indiana Jones Party Ideas
Yes! Another Indiana Jones movie comes to life soon. And this is a particularly adventurous movie to base a party theme on..it works really, really well for kids into loads of fun activities.
Find your inspiration with these ideas:
Gummy Worm Invitation:
Take brown grocery bags and cut invitation-sized pieces of paper out from these bags. From there, write all of your party details on the invitation... you may want to request that the kids bring a change of clothes and/or wear Indy attire.
Roll up your invitation into a scroll and tie with twine. You can hand-deliver these invitations... or for some added fun... place a few gummy worms into small burlap pieces of material.
Place the scroll at the top of the bag where you will close the bag off with more twine... it's a unique way to invite the party guests to your own Indy Adventure!

Camping Party
 Amount of Time: 10 to 25 Hours
Budget: $150-$500
Age Group: 6 years old and older
Indoor/Outdoor Space: Outdoors
Special Notes: Usually this party will be an overnight slumber party outdoors. So be prepared to host your party guests all night long. Also, in case of emergencies, make sure you have complete contact information for the kids' parents in case you will need to contact them for any reason.
Invitations
Make the invitation in the shape of a tent and have an opening. When the guests open the flaps to the tent, this will reveal the party details.
Make the invitation in the shape of a sleeping bag... you can have the outside be a primary color and then a matching slip of paper for the inside on plaid paper or a different primary color and put your party details on the inside paper. Seal the sleeping bag along the sides and the bottom. Send it in recycled brown envelopes for a rustic camping feel.
Use clip art and use camping pictures on the invitation to make a visual of the fun that will be had... i.e. a flashlight for flashlight tag, t-shirt for tye-dye t-shirts, hot dogs for your roast, etc.
Change the language on the invitation from standard to camp speak: You can be the "Camp Director," instead of place, put "Campsite," and instead of time, use "Camp Hours." This makes the invitation language in line with the theme. You can also name your camp, such as "Camp Silly" or "Camp Turning 8"
