July 4th will be here before you know it. Savvy Housewife has pulled together the best Web guide to guarantee your holiday will be festive, stress free, and fun.
Throwing a backyard bash? Here are some links to get you inspired:
Send out invites via Pingg.com, a new online event management and invitation site featuring stylish, swanky invites (no corny clip art here)
Recipes, craft ideas, printables, and how to videos from Family Fun magazine.
Fireworks art project from ParentsConnect (great for kids age 3 and up)
Patriotic Party Menu from Kraft Foods.
This red, white, and blue ice cream cake from Epicurious looks absolutely divine.
Festive Starfruit Cocktail Garnishes and Fun 4th Of July Cocktails from Hostess Blog.
These glory dishtowels from Crate and Barrel would be a lovely hostess gift.
Now that you’re set on food and drink, you need something to wear. At some point you outgrow your mother’s whim to deck you out like Old Glory for the 4th, but it’s still a great excuse to shop.
Patriotic Posies hair clips from Etsy seller Cute And Sweet are just that
I love this fun and funky capri set from CWD Kids.
A hippy dippy tie-dyed t-shirt is great for boys too cool to dress like Uncle Sam.
This crab crate navy T-shirt is also a good color scheme for boys reticent to deck out for the 4th.
These star espadrilles for girls are on sale at CWD Kids and make me long to be little.
This smocked bandana print top from Old Navy screams summer, not Yankee Doodle Dandy.
An understated red and navy striped button down for Dad will carry him through cool summer evenings.
Don’t forget the classic navy sundress (like this one from J Crew).
