Election Day THEME |
 |
|
An Election Day Party can be celebrated by those of you rooting for the same political team, or just to celebrate the idea of democracy. Send out patriotic-themed invitations found in a party pack with paper goods. With a little creativity and a trip to the party supplies store, an Election Day Party will bring out everyone’s red, white, and blue spirit.
First, decorate the “Election Day platform,” or party area with red, white, and blue streamers and balloons. Then, add pictures, cardboard statues, and even piñatas of donkeys and/or elephants to the mix. Next, build a makeshift podium out of a large box and invite guests to come up and “campaign” for their favorite candidate or cause. Construct a voting booth by hanging a curtain from a clothesline and placing a voting table behind it. Finally, hand out ballots with actual or made-up candidates and measures. For example, if it’s a Presidential Campaign, write the actual candidates down and leave a space for a write-in. You’re sure to receive some silly answers! Concoct wild initiatives you and your friends might like to see, such as driving on the left side of the road or banishing all cell phones from supermarket shoppers.
Wear old-time election hats of red, white, and blue and have cigars available for adults. Find quotes from past presidents to paint onto posters and hunt down past election buttons in thrift stores or find new ones at your local political headquarters. As a host, you might dress as Uncle Sam or ask guests to come as any President, First Lady, or First Family member they choose. In true democratic spirit, you can vote on the best (and worst) costumes.
Logical food choices for an Election Day theme party include anything red, white, and blue; e.g., strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, iced cookies and patriotic-themed cakes. All-American picnic foods, such as hot dogs, hamburgers, macaroni salad, and apple pie are also good choices. Keep it simple and fun and you will be elected the Party Planner of the Year!

Election Day Cake Ideas
Whether one is nervously awaiting election results or celebrating the victory of their favorite candidate, an Election Day party cake will win a sweeping victory at any ‘political party.’
The most obvious choice for an Election Day party cake would be a cake emblazoned with the all-American colors of red, white and blue. With the aid of candied stars and icing stripes, one could even create a confectionary likeness of the American flag, using a canvas of a plain cake and either whipped or butter cream icing. Or one could top a regular cake with party supplies like small American flags and ribbons in the colors of red, white and blue.
The creative host also could—with the help of animal-shaped cake pans—make Election Day party cakes in the likeness of the donkey and the elephant, which respectively represent the Democratic and Republican parties. By presenting both of these cakes at the party, she could appeal to guests of both political persuasions as well as various culinary tastes; the brown donkey could be a sumptuous chocolate cake, while the ivory donkey could come in the form of a lush vanilla concoction.
If a particular candidate is being honored at the election party, the Election Day party cake could be a sheet cake emblazoned with the image (either a transposed photograph or an image carved from icing) of that politician.

Election Day Party Music Play Lists
Election Day is a time of both great national significance and intense celebration; and no Election Day soiree would be complete without a full playlist of songs that make people dance—and think.
An Election Day playlist should be both bouncy and meaningful, to fit the mood of any ‘political party.’ Songs could include:
Election Day by Arcadia
Winning by Santana
Yes We Can (Obama song) by Will I Am
Abraham, Martin and John by Dion
Lump by The Presidents of the United States of America
They Come to America by Neil Diamond
El Presidente by Duran Duran
The Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key
After hearing some fun and meaningful songs, party guests will cast their vote for a host who can come up with some equally festive Election Day party favors. These could include wall art posters and portraits depicting the candidates of this year’s major political races, campaign buttons from different decades that could double as table settings, a paper mache centerpiece that resembles a ballot box, tableware in the classic American hues of red, white and blue, a dinner menu that resembles an election ballot (will guests cast their vote for chicken or fish?), small American flags that could be taken home as party favors, fortune cookies that could contain trivia facts about different candidates, and other novelties.
