Write up a bunch of trivia questions having to do American politics and gather everyone together during commercial breaks to see who knows the most about American history.

Election party invitation: Send a digital invitation though Punchbowl! The invite can be customized with all the relevant party information, what you'll serve to eat, and when it starts. You can also take a cocktail poll of your guests, organize a potluck, and monitor who's coming.

Election party decorations: Go all out with the red, blue, and white decor. Arrange bunches of festive balloons, American flags, presidential banners, streamers, and party hats all over the party space.
