Fourth of July is almost here, and summer is all about entertaining. Fire up the grill, and set the perfect patriotic tablescape to celebrate America in style. Plus don’t forget to sport your red, white and blue! Family Entourage joins us to help families transform their backyard, or favorite park space, into the perfect spot to gather with friends.
GET YOUR GRILL ON!
Any great party is all about the food, and for 4th of July holiday, it centers around the grill! 9 out of 10 people look forward to grilling and 80% of them want restaurant quality steaks at home. Omaha Steaks is America’s Original Butcher and we love that they are 5th generation family-owned and have been providing the finest premium, grain-fed beef and gourmet food for more than 100 years.
Every Omaha Steak is naturally aged for at least 28 days for maximum tenderness and they are flash-frozen at their peak for better quality, consistency, and flavor. Speaking from experience Omaha Steaks customer service is fantastic (real people!) and they stand behind their products with a 100% Unconditional Guarantee.
Holiday grilling oftentimes includes burgers and franks and Omaha Steaks PureGroundTM Burgers are guaranteed to be a favorite among your family because these burgers are made entirely from steak! They’re also bigger and juicier than anything you’ll find at the local grocery store.
Of course since it’s in the name, Omaha Steaks meat from filets to ribeyes, strip to sirlions… every cut is full of flavor and just mouth watering. Take advantage of the 50% OFF SITE WIDE until the 4th of July! And don’t forget they also have lobster, pork, chicken and sides like scalloped potatoes and caramel apple tartlets. Bon Apetit!
WEAR YOUR RED, WHITE AND BLUE
Always fun to get into a good theme, so make sure to sport your red, white and blue. From firecracker to 4th of July characters and parade-worthy looks for the family, we love Hanna Andersson. Whether you want a dress with sparklers for the parade or pullover to keep you warm while you watch the fireworks, we love the materials that they use. The organic cotton is so soft and durable. We have so many pieces that we pass on to siblings and cousins.
We also love that Hanna Andersson has family matching and pieces that can coordinate. Whether it is coverups for the pool or Surf print dresses and shirts to match dad, we love a good family matching moment. We could not resist the Peanuts patriotic pajamas (say that three times fast)! Everyone in the family can show their patriotism alongside Snoopy.
PATRIOTIC TABLESCAPE
It’s America’s birthday so the table needs to reflect the party! Simple additions and can a big impact like swapping out plates and napkins, a table runner and use items that can transition to everyday use too. Stick to the theme of stars and stripes, flag and of course everything needs to be red, white and blue.
Macy’s has everything you need for a patriotic table! Saro Lifestyle has US Flag Charger Plates to a whole Stars and Checkered table. We paired the American Flag runner and with the Patriot Stars Napkin Set and then accented it with Star Napkin Ring Set. Plus the Villeroy & Boch Manior Dinnerware Set is perfect to transition your table for every season.
And don’t forget the kiddos! We suggest the Firecracker 4th of July Activity Placements and festive photo booth props or cupcake toppers, confetti and more! Macy’s is your one stop shop this summer when it comes to entertaining.
KEEP COOL AND CARRY ON
As summer heats up, keep everything cool with yeti! From party coolers and beverage buckets that can service any block event to personal hydration on-the go you can carry to parades, pool parties and watching the fireworks!
We love how Yeti helps us make sure our drinks are cold from sun up to sun down. The tumblers are double-wall insulated, which means that even if you are sitting by the pool and have warm hands, your drink will stay cold. The Magslider lid found on Yeti’s Ramblers make it easy to open the top but also keep your drink contained. We also love that they are dishwasher safe, because who really wants to do dishes after a day of activities. From kids bottles to wine tumblers, Yeti has so many different options to make sure all of your beverages are transported for your day of fun. There are even some limited-edition colors to show your patriotism.
And if you are headed out for an entire day or on a trip, Yeti has created coolers to make sure your food and drinks stay hot or cold. The Roadie Tundra is virtually indestructible as it is engineered with RockSolid Strength. It also comes with a five year warranty. It can hold 76 cans! If you are needing something smaller, we love Yeti’s Hopper Flip cooler. It comes in a range of sizes and is perfect to pack your picnic or if you are bringing a dish to the block party. We also love that Yeti has several store locations, where you can go in and figure out what size tumbler or cooler you need. Plus we loved getting tips from the Yeti team!
