Soon we’ll be back to talking about… wait… what did we used to talk about? Anyway, the best way to celebrate our great democracy is to throw an election party that pleases both parties! Which means getting your patriotic on with plenty of red, white and blue! And hey, there’s an added bonus! You’ll get to reuse that ice bucket with stars and stripes that seemed oh-so-stylish at the time.

So come on! Dig out your July decor for an encore appearance and throw a party with winning results! These 7 tasty and colorful ideas will give your guests plenty to talk about besides the actual election!

If you’ve been one of my loyal blog followers, you know that we publish these image roundups weekly. We feature a particular event for a particular client so you can go deep on the particular theme. If you know what’s up, skip this part. New visitors, take a look below…

In case you missed it, here’s what we’re doing, mentioned in the first blog. (And if you already know what’s going on, skip to the first photo!) Every day we’re posting event photos & inspiration to my Instagram page to give you ideas for your own events. And, of course, to encourage you to hire yours truly, party planner extraordinaire, for your next soirée! In terms of format, we’re trying to capitalize on the whole hashtag calendar world and take advantage of #WeddingWednesday (#WW) and #ThrowbackThursday (#TBT) by posting wedding photos and cool stuff we’ve done on Wednesdays and on Thursdays, harkening back to a past client’s event, be it a celebrity, or just one of us tastemakers.
