This summer is flying by at a record pace and it’s hard to believe that the Fourth of July is just around the corner! If you are like my family, the Fourth of July means a huge cookout and lots of patriotic decor. We’ve been featuring tons of fun red, white, and blue themed foods on the Wisconsin Mommy Facebook page, so go check those out if you haven’t already!
If you’re feeling like you’re already behind in your celebration planning, don’t worry – we have got you covered! We’ve cultivated a list of “must-haves” for your Fourth of July picnic and are happy to share them with you here.

Flags
No Fourth of July is complete without displaying our country’s flag anywhere and everywhere! Whether you are looking for a large flag to hoist up your flagpole, a flag inspired pleated fan to hang on a porch rail or fencing, or mini six-inch flags to stick into flower pots or line your driveway, flags set the tone for your patriotic celebration!
Attire
Dress the part for your celebration with a fun, patriotic tee shirt or dress. Accessorize your outfit with flag-themed shoes, a hat, or a visor. Finish off your outfit with a set of earrings, a necklace or tote bag.
If you live where the evening will cool down enough to require an extra layer while enjoying the fireworks, this American Flag crewneck sweater will keep you cozy (red and blue colors are both still in stock!).
Set Your Table
Nothing completes a 4th of July picnic like red, white and blue cutlery, plates, and table decorations. If you are short on time and want these things curated for you, you’ll LOVE this 170 piece set that includes everything from plates to cups to napkins and silverware to banners. Literally everything you need in one package!
Keep your food and drink nice and cold with this Patriotic Inflatable Buffet. No lukewarm soda or sketchy potato salad when you keep everything packed in ice!
Having the July sun beating down on your cookout guests can be rough. Keep everyone cool as a cucumber in the shade with this Patriotic Pop Up Canopy.
No matter how you choose to celebrate America’s birthday, take the opportunity to reflect on the day’s history and how it effects our lives today!
