We are changing up Foodie Friday this week, as I sometimes like to do. With the 4th just around the corner, it is time to start planning your party. The fireworks certainly take center stage, but your tablescape should be a showstopper, too. I say embrace the red, white & blue, but keep it chic, too. Don't worry, next Friday will feature fabulous recipes for the holiday. Here's how to make the sparkling Sprinkle Cake above.
Everything You Need to Host a Fab Fourth of July Party

Hot Dogs and the 4th of July are a perfect pair. In fact there is a National Hot Dog eating contest every year on this date. It's always good to have the right serving pieces. These are great. They match any decor and are compostable!

One of my favorite things. I own this. "Shop This" brings it to you again, and this time it is on sale. I can imagine bringing this as a host gift for your 4th of July weekend. Or consider making pizzas as appetizers at your 4th of July Barbecue. Best yet, who doesn't like pizza at any time of the year?

Think about using these boards for service instead of cutting. Love them for appetizers, Mrs. Prindable's Apples, Cheese, shot glasses and more! They would be great looking in multiples.
