Sorry for the possible confusion because, no unfortunately, today isn’t Wednesday- the blog is just a day early! I wanted to bring a super-special Tuesday edition of the K105 Station Blog, so I can offer you some cool ideas for your 4th of July parties happening tomorrow through this weekend. I have done some in-depth research and found an ultimate party guide via Country Living Magazine that shared some awesome ideas from decor to desserts.

I picked out some that I thought were completely dazzling to share with all of my blog-reading-buddies. I have broken the list down into categories, so take a look below and get ready to plan the best party on the street. Looking for more information on a specific item? Just click the image!
