Author: Keisha Wright 2008 marked one of the most momentous races for the U.S. Presidency, one fueled by intense passion and determination. Use the suggestions below to celebrate President-Elect Barack Obama's historic victory by hosting an inaugural ball at your home!
Décor & Tabletop suggestions
Pave the entry to your home with remnant red carpet purchased from your local carpet store, or rent a red carpet from Red Carpet Runway.
As guests enter, have a photographer snap a photo of them next to a life-sized cut-out of President-Elect Barack Obama. This will make a fun party favor. Place photos in glossy, quality stock paper photo frame imprinted with the host's name and the date of the party (e.g. Debbie's Inaugural Ball, Jan 18, 2009).
Place vases with white roses around the home for added drama.
