Must-Have Kitchen Items for a Fourth of July Party

I love the Fourth of July and throwing a good bbq so I rounded up my must-have kitchen items for a Fourth of July party! There is something about a backyard BBQ with good food, good people, and festive decor that just makes it one of my favorite days of the whole summer. If you are planning a backyard gathering or Fourth of July celebration this year, I put together a list of the must-have kitchen items for a Fourth of July party that will make your setup look so good. The best part? Most of these can be used again and again, so you are getting real value out of every single pick.

1. Festive Kitchen Towels

must-have kitchen itemsKitchen towels are one of those must-have kitchen items for a Fourth of July party that people overlook but they really do add so much to the overall vibe of your space. This set is festive and fun, perfect for laying out on the counter or hanging from the oven. If you want something a little more toned down, this option is more subtle and has a preppy feel that I love. Both are great and honestly could work well into the rest of the summer too.

2. Blue Festival Grill Plates

These blue festival grill plates are such a fun addition to your Fourth of July setup. They add a festive touch to the party without being over the top, and the best part is they can absolutely be used beyond just the Fourth. Cookouts, summer parties, backyard dinners, these plates work for all of it.

3. Star Cups

They are one of those must-have kitchen items for a Fourth of July party that your guests will actually notice and compliment. Set them out on the drink table and they instantly make everything look more put together and festive.

4. American Flag Platters

A platter is a must for any party spread and this American flag platter is the perfect pick. What I love about it is that the flag design is subtle but still very much there. It doesn’t feel over the top and it could honestly be used for other occasions too. If you want something with a little more visual flair, this second platter option has festive decor along the edge that makes it feel a little more celebratory. Both are great depending on the look you are going for.

5. Red and Blue Striped Pitcher

Last but definitely not least, this red and blue striped pitcher is perfect for the drink station. Fill it with a festive cocktail, fresh lemonade, or sangria and it instantly becomes a centerpiece on the table. It is one of those must-have kitchen items for a Fourth of July party that looks like you put in a lot of effort even when it was the easiest addition of all.

My dad was the American dream. He came to this co My dad was the American dream.

He came to this country from Egypt and built a life he could be proud of, becoming a successful business owner who owned three neighborhood bars. But to him, they were more than just bars. They were always home to familiar faces and gave people a place to go, especially on the holidays, when he would make sure everyone had a meal and a place to be.

He loved to go deep sea fishing, play video games at his bar, wear all white, put way too much sugar in his tea, smoke his Marlboro Lights, drink a Heineken, wear his 14k gold and always had wads of cash in his pockets.

But nothing put a bigger smile on his face than his grandchildren.

Losing both of my parents in six months is something I still can’t wrap my head around. It feels unimaginable. There are moments I don’t know how to process it all, or how life can possibly look the same without either of them.

But I find comfort in knowing that my dad is in heaven, and I know my mom was there to welcome him with open arms 🙏

I will miss you forever, Daddy. I love you ♥️

My beautiful mom went to heaven. She passed peacef My beautiful mom went to heaven. She passed peacefully and is no longer fighting a battle she has fought for so long. 

Nothing in this world prepares you for the heartbreak of losing your mom. My mom was everything to me, and I know how incredibly lucky I have been all these years to have had her as my mother. She taught me how to work hard, to be independent, strong, and assertive.

She was a powerhouse. Tough and honest, but always fair. Her bark bigger than her bite. But let me tell you about the German stubbornness…all the way to the end. I was always so proud you were my mom. A mom who did everything, for everyone. But her favorite role was becoming Omi to my two littles.

It’s up to us to keep our loved ones’ memories alive. If you knew my mom, please comment your favorite memory of her. Some of the only laughs I’ve had recently have come from friends sharing their favorite moments with her over the years.

I promise to continue her legacy. To say her name. To teach my children what an incredible woman their Omi was and how deeply she loved them. While her proudest accomplishment was being a selfless mother to her two children, mine was being able to care for her over the last 11 years, the way she cared for me my entire life. I will forever cherish the moments we walked through the hard together.

Be free, Mom. You are out of pain now. No more suffering. Watch over us and send me the signs, I will look for you in everything we do and know you are shining down on us forever.

I love you. In Gottes Namen 🙏♥️
