We used a similar one for our Oscar watch party and thought it would be fun to have this type of ballot for a Golden Globes watch party.

You can also use our free Ballot card (download the free ballot card).

While the award show is going on, you can ask your guests to accept the ballot card (if they won that category) and give them a statue. You can order a set of 12 here.

Hosting A Golden Globes Viewing Party

If you’re planning to host a Golden Globes Award Show Party, here are some tips to help you plan + host a successful party. 

Note: Due to the current pandemic, we highly encourage you to plan a virtual Golden Globes watch party.

We’ve previously shared some tips on hosting virtual parties on the blog, so be sure to check those tips out. 

First things first. Before you do ANYTHING, you need a plan. 

  1. The Golden Globes for 2023 is on January 10th, 2023, at 8 PM EST. 
  2. How many people do you want to invite? (Also, will you email invites, create a social media invite, text message or send via mail?) And make sure they RSVP!
  3. Do you have the capacity to host all of the people you invite? Look over the layout of your home to figure out how you can make it work. Our house is a little smaller, so I must get creative in finding places to seat guests.
  4. What type of food do you want to serve? You can check out the recipes we recommend below for ideas and inspiration. Then, there are always recipe ideas to find on Pinterest. When in doubt, make recipes you are SURE will be a success! 
  5. What types of drinks will you serve? Alcoholic or non-alcoholic? It’s ideal to have both, just in case your guests prefer mocktails instead of a cocktail. 
  6. Do you have any friends with food allergies, vegan, gluten-free, etc.?
  7. How much do you plan to spend? (Create a budget for your party. This is crucial!)
  8. Since this is an award show dinner party, will you have people dress up? Character or themed dinners are a LOT of fun!

Hosting A Golden Globes Viewing Party

What you need to do prep for your viewing party

Once you know the date for the Golden Globes, it’s time to start prepping for the party. About two weeks before the party, list everything you need.

This includes creating a cleaning schedule. I don’t clean my house until the day or so before the party.

With three teen boys running around, it will only get dirty. Always clean bathrooms, living rooms, and dining rooms—pretty much plan on cleaning everywhere.

A week before the party, sit down and create your grocery list. Be sure to think of EVERYTHING you may need (this includes buying toilet paper).

  • The award show is typically held during the week, so try to shop the weekend before or at the beginning of the week.
  • Don’t forget to think about your party decorations or themed items!
  • With today’s modern conveniences, I love ordering groceries online and scheduling a pickup. This is an excellent option if you don’t have time to shop in-store. 
  • Also, double-check to ensure all guests have RSVP’d for the party.

Look over your menu. What items can you prep and store a few days before the party?

On the day of, you want to be as organized as possible, so prepping food ahead of time will save you a lot of time and energy.

The night before the party, double-check what needs to be cleaned. Focus on the areas where guests will frequent the most: dining room, bathroom, living room, entryway, etc.

Be sure you have air fresheners and essentials stocked in the bathroom. The Febreze Plugins or Small Spaces are my go-to when I want my space to smell fresh ahead of time and throughout the party. 

This is also a good time to think about your cooking strategy for tomorrow. Which dishes need to be prepared first, last, served hot, etc.?

Need some inspiration on how to set up your space for an award show party?

Golden Globes Afterparty

Whew! You made it! The party is over, and the last guest has finally walked out the door! Make sure there is a designated driver for everyone, or call a taxi/uber if you think a guest may need one. 

So, now it’s time to clean up. If you have friends like my friends, they are good at helping out without being asked. I don’t make it a habit to have guests clean up, but I won’t say no.

Since we’re good at prepping and planning ahead of time and have a dishwasher, our clean-up process is straightforward.

We also use quality paper products, which makes the aftermath a breeze. 

Follow up with your guests in the following days, and thank them for coming to your award show party.

Also, take the time to evaluate how you did.

  • Did the food come out okay?
  • Did you have too many people? Not enough people?
  • Did your guests enjoy the food? Entertainment, etc.?
  • Did you stay on budget?

Do you have plans to host a Golden Globes watch party?

    I love how your tablescape can transform a low key, causal party into something really elegant looking. Just because it’s not a fancy dress up party, doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a beautiful setting!
