REDNECK PARTY IDEAS

Below are my redneck party ideas with tips and suggestions for redneck party invitations, white trash party food, trailer trash party decorations, and hillybilly party games.

Check out this collection of redneck photos for inspiration to get you started:

 

 

Invitations

 

 

Billy bob teeth Invitations

To create 3D invitations to compliment these redneck party ideas, pick up an economy pack of 'Billy Bob' redneck teeth. To use these as invitations for your trailer trash party just write or print all your hillbilly party details onto a small tag and tie this onto the teeth (see Using Tags on the Create Invitations page for examples).

 

 

Beer Bottle Invitations

Another option is to pick up some empty plastic beer bottles and print off your own invitations in the style of a beer label. Include all the party details in the label then apply to the bottles and send these out (empty) as the invitations for your white trash party. Or you could just print off a label for your own brand of redneck beer and attach the party details to a tag (as explained above).

 

If you do a Google search for 'redneck clip art' or 'confederate flag clip art' you can find some free graphics (like the ones on the bottle below that I knocked up) to help you create a beer label that fits with these redneck party ideas.

 

 

Invitation Wording

For the invitation wording, include plenty of hillbilly words and phrases into your redneck party ideas, ex:

• Ya'll


• Ain't


• C'mon over


• Yer


• Somebody dun bin....

 

 

Personalized Redneck Invitations

There are also some redneck invitations available online which you can have personalized, such as the designs below. See here for a full range.

 

 

 

 

Fill-In Invitations

Alternatively, for a budget option you could use this ready made fill-in style invitations where you just hand write all the information.

 

 

 

Redneck Postage Stamps

You can add some extra embellishment to your redneck invitations by using these themed postage stamps.

Note: These stamps are only available in the USA

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DRINKS

Here are some drinks suggestions to go with these redneck party ideas.

 

Cheap Beer

No hillbilly party would be complete without cans of cheap beer. Pabst Blue Ribbon, Busch and Bud Light are probably the most obvious redneck brands.

Or go one step further and get a keg of beer for your trailer trash party.

 

 

 

 

 

sweet Wine

Wine should be from a box, or serve fruit-flavored, screw top sweet wine coolers such as Boones Farm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Redneck Cocktail

If you're a real fancy redneck and want to serve cocktails just mix Southern Comfort and Mountain Dew over ice. Serve in Mason jars for a real white trash party feel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beertini aka Redneck Martini

Alternatively, just stick with a classic Beertini aka Redneck Martini (right, from Sofa King Drunk). Pour light beer in a cold Martini glass, throw in a couple of Martini olives and a little of the olive juice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

rebel flag Shooters

These red, white, and blue shooters (right, by Annie Marie Helmenstine on about.com) could be renamed 'Rebel Flag' shooters.

 

 

 

 

 

Jello Shots

Make them red, white and blue for an extra patriotic touch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Food

 

 

Below are some food suggestions to go with my redneck party ideas. A lot of these trailer trash party foods are pretty disgusting junk foods and some of your guests may not actually want to eat them (think of them more as decorations that just happen to be edible!). So be sure to get the balance right between joke dishes and ones that people will actually eat.

 

• Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Moon pies, Sno Balls and Ho Ho's are hillbilly party staples, but if you're going to throw a white trash party you might as well go the whole hog and serve them deep fried. Check out this recipe for Deep Fried Twinkies (below left, from Deep Frying for the Brave) or Deep Fried Ding Dongs (below right, from Dunkin Cooking the Semi-Homemade Way).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Who knew Cheez Whiz was so versatile? Check out the Kraft Recipes site for a whole list of Cheez Whiz recipes that are perfect for a trailer trash party. These include Cheesy Beer Dip (below left) made from err...Cheez Whiz and Beer, or Cheez Whiz and Tater Bake (below right). You could also serve hot dogs with a selection of different Cheez Whiz on the side.

 

 

• Buy small cans of Beans and Wienies, heat them up, then serve them back in the individual cans with a fork sticking out. A row of mini cans lined up on a tray or buffet table will look pretty funny. Or serve some classic Redneck 'Tater Tot' Casserole (below right, from food.com) at your hillbilly party.
  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Another site that's useful for redneck party ideas is the Spam recipe pages, which includes the French Fry Spam Casserole (below left), and the Spam Hawaiian Pizza (below right).

 

 

• Spam sandwiches using thick white bread are also perfect for a trailer trash party. Or if you're prepared to try something a bit more unusual check out this recipe for Pepsi Spam Wraps (below left, from food.com) or even Spam Cupcakes! (below right, from food.com). Did someone say white trash party?
  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Don't forget to include some food that's actually edible. You can serve regular cupcakes and make them a little more trailer trash buy using these beer can candles as toppers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• BBQ ribs, catfish, beef jerky, pork rinds, pigs feet, corn dogs, mac and cheese with hot dogs, watermelon, pimento cheese sandwiches on white bread, and jars of pickled eggs are also good foods for a hillbilly party.

 

• This recipe for Beer Can Chicken with Cola Barbecue Sauce (below left, from Food Network) sounds like the perfect recipe to go with these redneck party ideas. For dessert, serve a Jell-O ring (below right, from Recipe) preferably in red, white, and blue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Food and Drink Styling

Below are some styling and presentation tips for your redneck party ideas.

 

 

Buffet / dessert Table

To dress a buffet table like this one, follow the step by step instructions below.

 

• Use this rustic barn wall scene setter to create a backdrop. It's 30ft long so you can probably cover several walls. It's a really cheap and easy way to transform your room. There's also an outhouse door add-on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Hang a large confederate flag on top of the backdrop above the table, then create swags above it with this camouflage pennant banner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Alternatively, you could use these Bud can string lights instead of the camouflage pennant banner - they come in both Bud and Bud light. Or you could string these around the front of the table.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Hang this inflatable moose / bear head on the wall

 

• Then hang a couple of toy rifles beneath it. Alternatively, for a cheaper option you could use this inflatable gun (below right). Both are available here.

 

• Make a buffet table for your white trash party by stacking up plastic milk crates and laying a sheet of plywood on top. Alternatively, cut a whole in the bottom of the milk crates, stack a few on top of each other, then slide the leg of your normal table through the whole so it looks like the table top is supported by stacked up milk crates.

 

• If you want to throw a really fancy hillbilly party, use a red and white check tablecloth (paper, of course). Alternatively, you could go for a camouflage tablecloth. See here for both.

 

• Create different levels on the food table by raising serving dishes up on pizza boxes or beer boxes / crates / cans.
  


• Scatter the table top with different trailer trash party props such as shotgun shells, small rebel flags, beer cans / bottles as candle holders, anything Nascar, or road kill plush toys such as the ones below.

• Use plastic flowers as a centerpiece with beer bottles as vases.

• Hang some of these beer can danglers from the ceiling either side of the table.

• See if you can pick up an old dryer or similar appliance that's been left for junk and use it as a redneck drinks cooler (see below). Alternatively fill a wheelbarrow with ice and bottles of beer—or your bath.

 

 

 

Food & drink Presentation

• Serve drinks in Mason jars, or cups made out of soda bottles cut in half.

 

• Alternatively, you can buy these Redneck wine glasses (below left), champagne flutes (below center) or Margarita glasses (below right). See here for all of these.

 

• These 12 gauge shot glasses are also perfect for a redneck party.

 

• This AK47 bullets ice cube tray is a easy way to give your drinks a Redneck look and feel.

• Serve foods such as mac & cheese, tater tot casserole, span casserole, or beans and wienies in individual tin cans with a fork sticking out.
  


• Label burgers, hot dogs, kebabs, and casseroles as different types of road kill ie raccoon casserole, squirrel burger, fox and badger kebabs.

• Use these camouflage food picks to style the food.
  

 

• Give your guests these plastic plates that fit over the top of a beer can, bottle, or plastic cup.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Alternatively, you could use camouflage party plates, cups and napkins.

 

 

 

 

Party Decorations

Below are some party decoration tips and suggestions to go with these redneck party ideas.

Outside

For an authentic white trash party, start your party decorations in your front yard:

• Move your sofa and an arm chair into your front yard.
  


• Hang old laundry on a clothesline.

• Hang a few of these redneck signs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Make redneck wind chimes out of beer cans or Mountain Dew cans.
  






• Put a 'Beware of the Dog' sign in the yard.
  


• Scatter car parts (tires, hubcaps etc) and random junk (shopping trollies, toilet seats etc). Alternatively, use a couple of these inflatable tires.

• Hang Christmas lights around the front of the house—regardless of what time of year it is. Alternatively, use these shotgun shell string lights.

• Hang a rebel flag on the front door.

• Move your washing machine or dryer out onto the front yard.
  


• Pick up an old toilet and use it as a planter.

• Use a large refrigerator box to create an outhouse.

• If you're really prepared to make the effort for your trailer trash party decorations, take the wheels off your car and jack it up on bricks in the front yard.

 

inside

For hillbilly party decorations inside:

• Use toilet paper as streamers.
