Last Minute Fourth off July Food Ideas
Fourth of July food does not have to be super intricate and themed! We all know that there are several American classics like hamburgers and hot dogs! What better way to celebrate the 4th than with a grill out or BBQ?? If you didn't have time to spend days prior to our beloved holiday prepping food or decorating red, white, and blue cupcakes, don't worry! Just run to your local grocery story and grab some hot dogs, burgers, buns & call it a day!
While you're there, you can even pick up some pre-made 4th of July cupcakes and put them on a cute platter. You'll have everyone fooled thinking that they're homemade & asking, "when did you go to culinary school??"
Looking for some additional pizazz? Grab some American flag toothpick toppers and make any food you serve look more patriotic and festive! You can find these on Amazon:
Last Minute Decoration Ideas
Last minute 4th of July decorations can be the hardest thing to figure out! However, decorating doesn't have to be stressful! My favorite last minute holiday hack is ALWAYS the dollar store!
Your local Dollar General or Dollar Tree will always have basic holiday decorations and necessities. You can pick up 4th of July napkins, placemats, yard flags, streamers, balloons & more from your local dollar store!
Don't have a Dollar Store or Dollar General near you? No worries! You can always check out Party City; however, they tend to be a bit pricier! Worst comes to worst, you can make your own lawn flags with paper, glue, markers, and wooden sticks!
