Festive 4th of July entertaining ideas!!

Well, it's that time of year again! Time to bust out your American flags and red, white, and blue decor for America's birthday!

We know that many of you are having parties and backyard barbeques tomorrow. So, we wanted to give you a couple of tips on how to decorate your beautiful Dan Ryan Builders home:

• Think of cold beverages as a decorating opportunity. Chill berry-flavored bottled juices or sodas in metal tubs filled with ice; you'll not only keep guests cool but also sneak in a few extra red, white and blue touches to carry the party's patriotic theme.  

• With the harsh summer heat and intense rays of the sun in full effect, it's important your Fourth of July guests remain hydrated and UV-protected. Keep outdoor essentials nearby with a supply station stylishly stocked with rolled towels, sunblock and ice-cold water

•  Who says Fourth of July decorating has to be all stars and stripes? Give your Independence Day decor a modern update by introducing red, white and blue through modern graphic patterns. 

With these tips, you're 4th of July party is sure to be the best in the neighborhood!
