What goes good with paper plates? Why, Mason jar glasses, of course! These are low key and casual, and they'll be brimming with old-fashioned American charm and, you know, lemonade.
These star-printed napkins would be a standout against the red-striped tablecloth and adorable with the silver-star napkin rings.
If the wind poses a threat to your carefully arranged tablescape, these patriotic tablecloth weights just may be your saving grace.
