Here are my favorite Fourth of July decorations that are kid-friendly and perfect for parties.
1. Festive Florals
My Poppy had the most beautiful gardens, and my favorite was his rose garden. He would let me pick my very own rose from his garden and he’d place it next to my bed in a sweet little vase. So in his honor, our family continues the tradition and we’ve enjoyed creating festive arrangements.

2. Red, White and Blue Candy Bar
We had a candy bar at our wedding and our guests raved about it for months! So we recreate it every year to celebrate the Fourth. Here is a picture from our wedding candy bar…
