Oktoberfest in America

Just when we're preparing to celebrate America's Independence Day, it's also time to think about celebrating Oktoberfest in America. This traditional German celebration is fast becoming a popular American holiday. And you don't have to be from Germany to have access to great Oktoberfest decorations and party supplies. Visit PartyCheap.com to find an outstanding selection of the very best in Oktoberfest decorations. They carry everything from special Oktoberfest tableware to the traditional  green tyrolean hats.

This year marks the 200th Anniversary of Oktoberfest! In honor of this grand anniversary it's the perfect time to plan an American Oktoberfest celebration of your very own. Oktoberfest is the perfect holiday because it can be arranged as a family-friendly party or a more adults-only celebration. A popular past-time of Oktoberfest is polka music, so plan a polka festival for your guests. The kids will love the music and learning the fun dance steps. They can even play along with the music by humming on a kazoo. Serve root beer and apple cider instead of beer, and change the brats to hot dogs. But if you prefer a more traditional adult setting, keep the beer and add in all kinds of interesting authentic German dishes.

So, how do you get started celebrating Oktoberfest in America? First, visit PartyCheap.com and browse through their Oktoberfest category for a little inspiration.Traditional Bavarian blue and white decorations in a harlequin (diamond) pattern are always a good place to start. Greet your guests by covering your front door with a giant mug of frosty beer set against a harlequin background. You can pick up enough blue and white harlequin decorations to cover every surface of your party. Designate a food area with a wall covered in an Oktoberfest Harlequin Backdrop. Drape an Oktoberfest Tablecover or Oktoberfest Table Runner across your serving tables. Oktoberfest is a time of merry-making and can get kind of rowdy, so using disposable tableware is a must. Set out coordinating paper plates, napkins, cups, and plastic cutlery for guests to use for all of that delicious German food and drink. Above the tables, hang Oktoberfest danglers and stringers featuring beer stein cutouts. If you're planning an outdoor Oktoberfest celebration, string up a bunch of the Oktoberfest Pennant Banners to create a festival atmosphere.

4th of July Party Decorations

Need a little spark of an idea to create a bang at your July 4th celebration? At PartyCheap.com you'll find all the red, white, and blue you can handle. They carry everything from patriotic star confetti, to U.S. flag picks, to patriotic suspenders, and everything in between. You can even create some fireworks of your very own with their firework chandeliers. When you're celebrating inside hang them from the ceiling or if you're outside you can string them up in the tree branches to dangle above your guests.

Make sure you don't overlook the much-loved patriotic tissue paper decorations. They're a traditional decoration that's been around for a long time but they never go out of style. Don't believe me? Ask Martha Stewart! She recently did an article featuring the exact same colorful tissue decorations found at PartyCheap.com. Check out the article for yourself at MarthaStewart.com and view some amazingly detailed pictures of these festive products. The article even includes step-by-step instructions on how to use the garlands and fans to create some brand new tissue decorations with a few snips from your scissors. For example, the tissue fans only come in one size. However, if you take the folded fan and snip off the outer ends at different points to make varying lengths you can create different sizes.

Of course, if you prefer your decorations to shine like sparklers you can always glitz up your 4th of July party with metallic decorative touches. Products like the fiery red, white, and blue metallic garland, the sequined Uncle Sam 4 piece set, or the sparkling red, white, and blue leaf starbursts will make your party an eye-popping event.

All of these patriotic products can be found under 4th of July decorations or 4th of July party supplies at PartyCheap.com. So show off your patriotism and have tons of fun decorating for the 4th of July!
