Canada Day Party

One of the many things I love about my husband is that he loves to have parties and I love to entertain. So when we knew had our first Canada Day party we knew it instantly that it would be a tradition every year. We look forward to it. We start planning in April and we get excited. We have it pretty much now down to a science. I love that our community comes together and helps us out and they look forward to having it too! I love the day of the party seeing our neighbours have their own little parties and then seeing people park on the side of the road getting ready to watch our fireworks. It makes it all worth it!
After many years of hosting a Canada Day party I thought I would compile a list of some must have's that will help with your Canada Day Party.

1. Decorative Plates, Cups, Napkins ~ I usually try and find plates, cups and napkins with Canada Flags on them. I find they just add a little something!

2. Canada Flag ~ What is more patriotic then having a Canada Flag flying in front of your house on Canada day?

3. Canada Day Tshirt~ You need to wear your red and white! Lots of stores have super cheap Tshirts available. I have seen some at Walmart and Giant Tiger. I think even Old Navy does too!


4. Fireworks ~ You need to have fireworks for Canada day! Its just not right!! I have seen lots at the Great Canadian Dollar Store in Doaktown and Chatham and I have seen lots at Giant Tiger too!

5. Floating Lanterns ~ The last few years we have used floating lanterns at our Canada Day party. They look so pretty all floating in the air!

6. Water balloons ~ I don't know who the genius was that came up with water balloons all tied to thing that you put on your tap. All I can say is that he or she are now millionaires!!

7. Lots of BBQ ~  You can't have a party without BBQ. We have hamburgers and hot dogs. Sometimes we have chicken, streak or sausages. But whats a summer party with out BBQ something.. Plus lots of family and friends help make lots of good food!

8. Ice Machine ~ A lot of people think I am crazy but this little machine is the most amazing thing even. And we have already started making Ice for our party and freezing it. Plus its always nice to to icy cold water!

9. Washer Toss ~ Nothing like a good ole game of washer toss. I am not the biggest fan of this game but I love having my yard full of people playing the game

10. Inflatable pool for Food and Drinks ~ This has to be the best thing for parties! Especially during the summer. We have one its a pineapple shape.

If I haven't mentioned it yet we are super excited to be hosting our 8TH ANNUAL Canada Day Party. We enjoy having this party every year! We are slowly getting everything together for our big day on Saturday. We want to invite ALL our Family and Friends to our event!
