A Red, White, and Due themed baby shower is a fun one for a shower on or around the 4th of July. You can use seasonally-themed decorations (easy to find those this time of year) and serve barbecue or have a picnic. If you have the shower on the actual fourth of July, you can time it to include fireworks at a local park. These are some ideas that I came up with for a memorable Independence Day baby shower.
