Make Your House Ready for a Memorable 4th of July Bash

If you are running low on party ideas, here are few tips to help you move along.

These tips will not only rev up your energy levels for an amazing and memorable 4th of July party, but they will also fit the time and budget restraints, helping you think more about having fun than worrying about such inconsequential matters. Get ready to bring out the Star – Spangled Banner and red, blue and white party decorations, because this 4th of July, your house will be the ultimate galore of fun, excitement and patriotism; not to forget the delicious food and refreshing drinks.

Invite the People You Love

First things first! Invitations are important. People have busy lives and you cannot expect them to leave everything in their lives to rush to your party. So do not invite them at the last minute and make sure that you send out invitations ahead of time to help them rearrange their schedules so that they are able to join you in your celebration this year.

If you are short of time, emails and text messages will work great or if you are planning for an intimate gathering, make a WhatsApp group with all your invitees and discuss your plans. This way you can also mention if it is a kid-friendly event or not, and if your guests have a dietary restriction. On the other hand, if you have ample time; print out invitations and send them in a traditional manner, prompting your guests to R.S.V.P.

Prepare and Clean Your House

Deep cleaning your house before your party is a no-brainer. There is no better time to think about hiring one of the best cleaning services in Brooklyn. Cleaning experts of NYC Steam Cleaning in Brooklyn pride themselves in providing their clients with exceptional service with customized cleaning packages. If you are planning for an indoor Fourth of July party, then cleaning your carpets should be the first thing on your agenda.

The best thing about it is that no one will be complaining afterwards that their allergies acted up for just being in your living room. The innovative steam cleaning technology by NYC Steam Cleaning in Brooklyn will eliminate any dust, germs or allergens hiding underneath your carpet and will make it smell refreshing.

Some stains and odors are hard to get rid of with traditional cleaning methods, but the best cleaning service in Brooklyn will take care of that for you and help you plan 4th of July party that people will remember for ages!

Go Shopping

This is probably the most exciting part of throwing a party. The fun and excitement that you feel when you are shopping for photo props, food, drinks and party decorations is irreplaceable. The moment you enter the party decoration aisle, you start feeling like a child. However, don’t get lost in the colorful décor options and stick to the list that you have made earlier. Try to keep a cohesive theme throughout the party to help you shop for it in a time-efficient manner.

Do not spend more than 20% of your budget on decorations, and as they would be probably on sale, so you probably won’t need to. After the amazing cleaning crew from NYC Steam Cleaning in Brooklyn deep steams your carpet, your home will be ready to be decorated in red, white and blue embellishments.

Prepare a Menu

Let us be honest, most people who come to parties are looking to have fun, drink, laugh and eat. If you lack on any of these fronts, your party is not going to make it on the “Best Party of the Year” list. To ensure that it does, prepare a menu beforehand. This will also help you make your grocery shopping an easy endeavor. There are tons of recipes inspired by the 4th of July celebrations, including drinks. Search the internet, pick out the ones that interest you and you are sure that you will be able to make in the given time.

Consider grilling, as it is one of the most popular choices in the summer and well, who doesn’t love a barbecue? People will be waiting in line for juicy steaks and hamburgers! Couple it with a classic salad and you are good to go. The best thing about grilling is that it will allow you to have fun with the rest of the guests, instead of being stuck in the kitchen hovering over a stovetop. However, make sure that before the guests are due to arrive, you scrub the grill and deep clean it by using a hard bristle brush, making sure that it is free from any food buildup from the previous cooks. Nobody wants to see burnt food stuck between the grill rods!

Bring Out the Toys

If you think that toys are just for kids, you have never been so wrong. 4th of July brings out the child in all of us and don’t we just love to play with water guns, Nerf guns and basket balls. Arrange water guns, water balloons and “slip and slide” to help the kids and adults have fun with each other while keeping cool.

Choose Music to Keep the Spirits Up

Music can liven up the mood of even the most melancholy of individuals. Make your own playlist or simply live stream one of the live stations that are playing 4th of July celebration songs. If you think that music will interrupt the mood or conversations, keep in mind that most people rely on music to have fun and if you ignore that aspect, then your party will get awkward. Make sure that upbeat music is playing all evening and night long to help guests mingle with each other, allowing them to dance and have fun.

End With Sparkles

One of the most common things synonymous with a 4th of July party’s fireworks and sparkles. Although fireworks are not an option in most areas, as they are a fire hazard and not strictly legal, it is possible to end the night on a dramatic note. Sparkles are a perfect way to say goodbye to the most amazing day and they are quite safe to use. Even the kids can use them and wave them around. Not only will they make wonderful props for photographs, but they will also add a little touch of drama to your wonderful party.

Sing “The Star Spangled Banner” with your guests while waving the sparkles around and let the words sink in to make your heart burst with American pride. However, remember, preparation is essential. Deep clean your home and make sure that your home is sparkling clean before any of your guests step in. Contact NYC Steam Cleaning in Brooklyn today at 1-888-245-1199 to make sure your carpets smell fresh and clean for your 4th of July bash!

 Jen and team were so great to work with. We had a hard task at hand removing adhesive residue from residential hard wood floors. We couldn’t find anyone else up for the task and NYC Steam Cleaning got the job done. Highly recommend this service and team for any floor, carpet, rug, upholstery cleaning needs.

5 star experience. I recently got a puppy who turned my new couch into her personal bathroom. I did a google search and found NYC steam cleaning. Luckily, I was able to make an appointment for the next day with this company. The entire cleaning took about 1 hour. My couch is brand new again, thank you!!

 I have hired them two times and have been highly pleased. Our pet was not very nice to this carpet and they were capable to get it clean. They also did my upholstery and the whole thing looks great. Their service charges are very rational and the workers have arrived within few minutes.
