This tablescape pops with a patriotic theme without being too busy. It is very clean, elegant and still has a fun, inviting feel to it.
Of course you cannot go wrong with traditional hot dogs and hamburgers. What could be more American right!?! We couldn’t agree more however there is nothing wrong with stepping it up a bit either. Surprise your guests with some grilled chicken or shrimp to go along with a caprese salad!
