I love the 4th of July because it’s one of the most laid back, celebratory holidays of the year. It feels like it marks the true beginning of summer. Fireworks, barbecues and good company are a perfect combination. If you’re like me, though, it’s one of those holidays that seems to sneak up on you.
That’s why I’ve put together this list of 10 creative and fun last-minute 4th of July table ideas. Even if you don’t do a lot of decorating for the holiday, one easy place to infuse some festive style into is the table. These ideas are super easy to implement, low-cost and really amp up the atmosphere.
If you don’t have anything planned yet, no fear ─ these ideas have got you covered.
