RED, WHITE, AND BLUE PARTY

Easy ideas to help you plan a stylish and fun vodka bar for a red, white, and blue party

Adulting is hard, guys.

Adults have responsibilities and have to do things like wear pants. Yanno, because deciding whether to lounge around in the knee high socks with the silver cape or the ones with the lime green feet and tattered purple ‘pants’ does not count as adulting for the day. And, in the minds of my neighbors and the law, really doesn’t solve the whole pants problem. Unless I go out and buy blinds and remember to use them. But to do that I would have to put pants on AND make sure my eyebrows are looking fly because… eyebrows. I might be team messy hair, don’t care, but my eyebrows… quit playin’… I don’t care how tardy I am as long as they are done.

I never said I adulted well.

Unless there are drinks involved. A well stocked vodka bar turns even the worst adults into majestic adulting unicorns.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE TABLE DECORATIONS

Red calla lilies will give your red, white, and blue party a stylish and modern feel

The key to creating a stylish red, white, and blue party that is mature enough for the best of the best adults without suffocating your spirited, borderline immature fun-loving self is a blend of details.

At first glance, your party will look sleek with its navy high top table, red calla lilies, and matching tea light holders. Only when your guests get close enough to read the clever coasters will they realize you both are cut from the same cloth. And that the only reason you even have coasters is because they are not grown up coasters. And that it’s okay if they don’t have coasters at home because you didn’t have them before this party either.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE VODKA BAR

You can drink anything you want as long as it's vodka printable sign for a red, white, and blue party

Let’s be honest, no well-respected vodka bar is complete without the sign you worked on instead of doing laundry. Yanno, because you can always buy more underwear, but you have to wait an entire year to host the same holiday party with the details you wanted to include the first time.

Serve flights of fruit infused vodka at your red, white, and blue party in tiny buckets so your guests can easily grab them from the bar

A fully stoked vodka bar makes it easy for your guests to serve themselves during your red, white, and blue party

And because you care about your guests, not because you think mini bottles are the coolest, you create flights of fruit-infused vodka out of mini bottles and little buckets. (See the tutorial below.)

  • Cucumber lime vodka + ginger ale

And later in the evening: vodka + vodka

Your fellow unicorns can swear they’ll be careful but there is always one in the group.

FRUIT INFUSED VODKA FLIGHTS

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE PARTY GAME

No red, white, and blue party is complete without a fun party game

Liven up your red, white, and blue party with a fun party game

Since you only associate with the funniest, non-adulting adults out there, you know that a party game is a must. Specifically, a party game that lets their personalities shine bright like a diamond.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE PARTY (AFTER DARK)

Give your red, white, and blue party a touch of style with red calla lilies in white vases

Unless the vodka is gone.

Once the vodka is gone, it’s time to muskrat the crew because the next day means there is more adulting to conquer and pants to wear. Sorry guys, the party is over.
