This 4th of July or Memorial Day consider celebrating simply with the people you love most. This cozy Patriotic Porch Party is intimate and centered around spending quality time with your family and closest friends. Some patriotic decor, comfortable seating, good food and the best company are all you'll needed for this small celebration. Spend the afternoon reconnecting with your favorite people, playing some old-fashioned patriotic games and creating memories to last a lifetime.
Just a few simple decor elements are needed to add charm to your porch party. Red and Cobalt Blue Hanging Paper Fans create a fun backdrop when clustered together, and they add just the patriotic "pop" that the 4th of July calls for! A My Mind's Eye Patriotic Bunting Banner helps balance out the color and looks adorable hanging on the front of the table.
We fell in love with these Fourth of July Tabletop Blocks and thought they'd make great party decorations. We also like that the blocks can be used year after year in your patriotic decor, either on your covered porch or inside your home!
Every patriotic celebration calls for some red, white and blue treats! We served up an American flag cheesecake cookie and some fresh berry cups. So delicious!
One of my favorite decor elements that we used in this celebration was this adorable tray. We created it by painting a wood tray navy blue, painting some DIY Unfinished Wood Stars white, then hot gluing the stars onto the tray. We arranged some pretty red, white and blue flowers inside a Red Colorful Glass Vase and displayed them on the tray. This made for such a pretty, patriotic arrangement!
We created DIY Distressed American Flag Planters for our 4th of July Patriotic Porch this year, so we just moved them over to our party area and arranged some plants in Galvanized Pails around them. They cozied up the space perfectly! The lid can be removed from the planter boxes, making the boxes great for holding jars of condiments, extra napkins and flatware.
Some cushy USA Flag Outdoor Pillows create a comfortable, welcoming spot for you and your family to sit, chat and enjoy each other's company. Cloth USA Bunting frames the perimeter of the porch and instantly ups the charm level of the space. Add a chilled pitcher of lemonade or sangria and some Stemless Plastic Wine Glasses to the mix, and the scene is set for hours of quality time!
We just love the casual elegance of these place settings! We simply tied together some Red Premium Plastic Spoons, Forks and Knives with blue satin ribbon, then placed them on top of White Plastic Dinner Plates with Vintage Trim. Let Freedom Ring Beverage Napkins reinforce the reason for the celebration and finish each place setting off beautifully.
A few simple flowers and Small Cloth American Flags on Sticks tucked inside Glass Bottle Mini Vases give the table a dash of patriotic flair. Patriotic Wool Felt Pom-Poms arranged down the center of the table create an understated centerpiece.
We added a little friendly competition to this intimate celebration by putting a game table in our porch party space. We cozied up the game nook by adding some comfortable rocking chairs, more pillows and a patriotic wall hanging.
The wall hanging was created by securing a Small Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Wreath and Small Cloth American Flags on Sticks to a White Window Frame Decoration. We finished it off with a Red & White Striped Satin Ribbon bow.
Our porch party games included a Block Tower Game, Peg Games and Tic Tac Toe. We used Red, White, Blue and Black Paint to transform all of these unfinished wood games into the perfect patriotic pastime. Get the full DIY tutorial for our Patriotic Porch Games here.
I hope this Patriotic Porch Party has inspired you to host an intimate holiday celebration of your own. Enjoy the special time with your favorite people and create some lasting memories!
