Best Budget-Friendly Patriotic Decorations: 29 Piece 4th of July Patriotic Decorations Set

We thought this decoration set provided the best value of all the options we researched. Here’s why:

What We Liked

• Large variety of decor. We liked the six different sized paper fans, 12 hanging swirls, as well as the package of red, white and blue stars.

• Great for indoor decorating.

• Long term use—you can fold and store most of the items in this set.

• Colorful and easy to assemble. 

What Needs Work

• Not so good for outdoor decor, especially if there is wind. We liked the paper fans and pom poms, but they are better off indoors than out!

Best Patriotic Decorations For Small Spaces: Whaline 14 Piece Patriotic Party Decorations Set

For a smaller space, we thought Whaline’s 14 piece set was a good bet—nice quality, variety and (for the most part) easy to assemble. Here’s more:

What We Liked

• Pretty flower balls in red, white and blue.

• Most are easy to assemble.

• Can fold for storage.

What Needs Work

• Tissue paper balls somewhat more difficult to assemble. You have to fluff the tissue up to make it work.

• Star garland smaller than other sets we researched. Not a big deal if you are dealing with a smaller space, of course!

Best Patriotic Decorations For Large Spaces: Marte & Joven 45 Piece Patriotic Decorations

If you’ve got a bigger space to decorate, this 45-piece set offers great bang for the buck. Yes, 45 pieces! Here’s more detail:

What We Liked

• Foil balloons! This set has 7 foil balloons in addition to a dozen latex ones.

• Paper fans, sunglasses.

• Bag of star confetti. 

What’s Needs Work

• A couple of the balloons didn’t inflate in the set we looked at—they had small holes. Other than that, we thought the quality was good.

Best Lighted Patriotic Decoration: American Flag Lights

For a night-time celebration where you’d like a lighted decoration, we recommend this LED lighted American Flag by HYH. This impressive flag is six and half feet long by three and a quarter feet wide. It’s super bright. Here’s more on why we like it:

What We Liked

• Lightweight.

• LED lights don’t use much energy. 

• Affordable.

• 10 foot cord.

What Needs Work

• Care needed in handling. The wires holding the lights are thin and can break.

• Plug isn’t waterproof.
