<p>Instead of spending the entire day running from place to place, consider throwing your own Fourth of July party.  It gives you an excuse to really spruce up and decorate your yard.</p>
<p>Start planning early to be sure you&#8217;re ready on the day of the party.  Since the party will be on the Fourth of July, you have a ready-made theme or starting place.  Begin by making a list of things you&#8217;ll need and what you&#8217;ll need to do.</p>
<p>Of course, you&#8217;ll want your lawn to be cleaned up, so now is the time to start picking up the yard toys, furniture, and other things that have made their way to the lawn.  Give it a good mowing and remove the dead grass.  Maintaining a well-manicured lawn takes some time, but the beauty of it will be a thing to behold.</p>
<p>If you have lawn furniture, make sure to clean it well before the day of the party.  You would probably do this at the beginning of summer, but you may want to re-clean it as the party draws nearer.  This also gives you an opportunity to check to be sure the furniture is safe or if anything needs to be replaced.</p>
<p>Check your lawn for fire ant colonies.  If you find them, now is the time to spread out any poison to get rid of them.  You may also want to have a professional exterminator come and spray a couple of days before the party to get rid any other unwanted pests.  Find or buy citronella candles to help keep mosquitoes from ruining the party.</p>
<p>Make sure you have enough seating for all your guests, and then arrange your lawn furniture and other seating in conversational groups.  This will encourage your guests to chitchat while they&#8217;re waiting for the food to be prepared and served.  Be sure there&#8217;s a small table within the group for guests to set their glasses.</p>
<p>Prepare an area of the lawn that will be just for the kids.  Set out some yard games such as croquet, water balloon toss, horse shoes, or tug-of-war.  Of course, you&#8217;ll want to have games for all age children and someone to monitor the games so the kids don&#8217;t get out of hand.</p>
<p>The day before the party, set up the cooking area.  You know the kitchen is often the busiest place in the house during the holidays, so set up a cooking area complete with a preparation table, barbecue grill, and a place for guests to relax while you cook.  If you have a small refrigerator, that&#8217;s great.  But you can also set out your coolers with food the day of the party so everything is within reach.</p>
<p>These quick and easy tips for preparing your yard for a Fourth of July party may be all you need to start thinking about your own summer party plans.  The benefit of preparing early is that you won&#8217;t be rushed as the day approaches.  It also allows you time to ensure that your guests will enjoy the time they spend with you and your family.</p>
