It is finally summer and we are celebrating by sharing this fun patriotic birthday party. We based the design around our bomb pop invitations using this free patterned paper for other other party items. 

I love serving popsicles in glasses, because not only does it look super cute, but you can unwrap all the pop beforehand, stick them in cups, and then throw them back in the freezer until you need them. That way when you are ready to hand them out, you can just throw them on a tray and hand them out - no impatient kids waiting for you to unwrap one pop at a time ;) 

My favorite part of this party was definitely the backdrop. We designed it by hanging paper fans at different heights and accenting with decorative garlands like this one we made using the patterned paper we are giving away. 

Place settings were simple, but fun!

What patriotic party would be complete without a sparkler candle?!
