Red and blue bandanas as napkins in mason jars used for drinks.  Just add a red or blue table cloth and white plates.  Easy!

If you have a lot of time on your hands, you can arrange your books in your bookcase to look like a flag!

This cake from Epicurious would be a real show stopper.  

Or take your cue from Real Simple and use a mix of berries with store bought shortcake biscuits and whipped cream.  Or why not angle-food or pound cake?

Are you  inspired?
Have a great weekend.
