I took a peek at the calendar a couple days ago and couldn’t believe how fast June is flying by. I felt a moment of panic as I realized that the 4^th of July will be here before long and I haven’t even started planning for it yet.  I did what I always do when I start feeling stressed out – I took a deep breath and made a to-do list.

I figured the first thing I needed to do when it comes to planning a 4^th of July party was to invite people over. This inspired me to search around a little bit to check out patriotic party invitations. Many of these were created to be greeting cards, but can certainly be used as invitations instead.

While there are plenty of homemade 4^th of July party invitations online, there are my favorites so far:

 Now I need to get to work making invitations and planning more of the 4^th of July party. What should I try to figure out next? Food? Decorations?
