4th of July Pool Party
Decorate your pool gate with a simple Fourth of July flag like this one. I purchased this flag at the CVS store for $3.00. Fourth of July Parties
Every family brings a salad or a dessert which makes it easier for everyone. Some years we have grilled hamburgers and brats and other years we have served cold sandwiches. Because it is so hot in Georgia we serve the food on the screened in porch (which also has a ceiling fan). Guests can sit on the porch or out by the pool under the outdoor umbrellas. 
I found these cute blue buckets at the dollar section at Target. Use them to hold your utensils and napkins. Keeping food cold is a challenge for us. I have found a couple of plastic serving bowls that I use and I place them in a bigger bowl that is filled with ice. This helps to keep the salads cold and safe. Fourth of July InvitationsFourth of July invitations can by by e-mail, custom made or store bought. If you haven't used them before, try using Evite.com.I use them frequently and it's free. Sending an e-invite has several benefits. People RSVP because it is so simple - no phone calls. You can edit or add information if you forget something - like,"Bring your Swimsuit and Towel." 
A reminder is sent to the guests a couple of days prior reminding them of the event or letting them know that they have not RSVP'd. You can also send out 4th of July invitations via the U.S. Postal system. I've purchased my invitations for next year (they were half off at a local invitation store).
