2016 Election Night Watch Party Ideas
While you might have trouble choosing between two terrible candidates this November, it's a no-brainer to throw a wickedly funny election night watch party. As results roll in, resign yourself to the fact that you'll be stuck with either Donald Drumpf or Crooked Hillary for the next four years. As the end times approach, hunker down in your bunker with family, friends, and plenty of election night fun! Party411 has all the invitations, decorations, and party supplies you'll need to celebrate the end of America as we know it.
Send Your Election watch party Invitation
Decorate Your Home with Election Party Supplies- Place American flags along the sides of the driveway and up the walkway for a grand entrance! Red, white and blue streamers seal the deal.
- Let Drumpf and Cold Hillary great your guests with an election night watch party photo op. This Mount Rushmore-style photo op features our two favorite candidates and some spaces for you and your guests!
- If you're having a larger party in a ballroom, then flags can be "planted" in red, white and blue flower pots. Simply fill them with sand and add the flags.
- Republican Ceiling Swirls and Democratic Ceiling Swirls are an easy way to decorate windows, walls, and mirrors.
- Make balloon bouquets with a mixture of red, white and blue latex balloons. Tie them off with red, white and blue ribbon and attach them to patriotic skimmer hats - they make great balloon weights!
- Set up a tally board or ballot box near the front where guests can guess who they think will win!
- Don't forget a balloon drop at the end of the night to celebrate the winner!
Set Your Table with patriotic election paper goods- Use patriotic paper goods, like dinner and dessert plates, cups, and red plasticware instead of washing silverware (of course). You can even use flag bandanas for dinner napkins.
- Fluff and tie the bandanas and add a democrat bead necklace or republican bead necklace as a napkin ring.
- Have fun with your centerpiece! Red, white and blue floral centerpieces are always a nice choice.
- Balloons are also perfect for an election night. Using the patriotic skimmer hat as a base, tie on red, white and blue balloons (at different heights) using red, white and blue ribbon.
- A personalized patriotic banner can be used over each buffet (and everyone will know where to find the food- which is always important!)
- Make sure to hand out election watch party water bottle labels! "The Wall Water" pays homage to Trump's key platform issue. And luckily these labels are "Paid for by Mexico".
- Keep spirits high with election night watch party beer bottle labels. Crooked Hillary would jump for a "Private Server Beer". Don't miss out!
- Make sure to serve a couple of signature mixed drinks, like Trump's Tequila Shots or My Pal Putin's Moscow Mules.
- Give your buffet some flair with a patriotic table skirt.
Fun Ideas for Election Night Food Stations
- Trump Taco Bar: Include a banner that says "I love Hispanics!" Themed food tents can jazz up traditional toppings, like Spray Tan Cheese, Bomb ISIS-berg Lettuce, Tiny Hands Tomatoes, "Believe Me!" Beef, Hot Putin Peppers, Drumpf Doritos, and Groping Guacamole.
- Chilly Hillary Ice Cream Bar: Perfect for the frigid candidate, toppings can include Crooked Cherries, Hot Fudge (Feel the Bern!), WikiLeaks Whipped Cream, Pneumonia-Nuts, State Secret Sprinkles, and Email Mallows.
- Vegan Veggie Tray (since Bill is vegan) with hummus dip
- Watch the Candidates WAFFLE BAR: Buy premade Belgian waffles or break out the waffle maker, lay out plenty of toppings.
- Vice Presidential Snacks: Poke fun at our boring vice presidential candidates with bowls of chips and pretzels on appetizer and side tables. Food tents that say "Plain Pence Pretzels" and "Plain Kaine Chips" will get a few laughs!
Blue Vs. Red Drink Station: Set up a dueling drink station with red and blue drink options.
- Blue Hawaii vs Cosmopolitan
- Red Sangria vs Pacific Blue Sangria
- Red Slush Punch vs Blue Raspberry Lemonade Slush
