The Fourth of July is just a few days away! Many of us use this festive holiday to gather with family and friends for the official kick off to the dog days of summer! Perk up your patriotic decor with a whimsical twist of dotty fun! Polka dots are plentiful when it comes to paper products so it’s easy to search any party store for dotted plates or napkins to mix in…maybe you can find a few more ways to incorporated those happy dots for your celebration!
stars, stripes…and polka dots!
this celebration offers patriotic fun for all ages!
games & activities are great when there’s a variety of age groups among the guests!
you’ve gotta have sparklers…
how about sidewalk chalk?…in polka dot!
dress up easy goodies in glass jars…
we love apothecary containers–but footed bowls or even tin buckets would do!
simple snacks make set-up a breeze!
dotty fun at the snack table with paper plates, paper dots, and gumballs!
Fourth of July celebrations need cool refreshments…
lots of refreshments…
this vintage tub works great for a cooler!
the adult beverage table gets a little patriotic flair with simple lights…
and cupcake liners!
(you can purchase 20 light strands at most craft stores–the size is just right for something like this!)
a single “polka dot” hangs from the chandelier…

must have a little s’more fun…
this bright blue cart holds all the fix ‘ins for those gooey treats…

baking fun…
an angel food cake makes a great cupcake substitute for the graham cracker…crowned with a little dollop of mallow cream & chocolate–so easy! the most fun? using my husband’s torch to toast the top! (carefully & with supervision!) and though my boys would have loved this propane baking project…i don’t recommend involving kids with this one!
