What to do, what to do? That’s easy—anything that involves red, white, and blue! Decorate with balloons, paper lanterns, or streamers, and break out the patriotic tableware—be as festive as you want to be!

• You provide the barbeque fare, then ask
  guests to bring appetizers, sides, and
  dessert. (And divvy up the beverage
  responsibilities between the
  whole gang.)
• Set up some yard games such as
  croquet, badminton, or horseshoes.
• Come fireworks time, play it safe by
  watching a professional show. Those
  are the best and the biggest anyway!
