Do You Have Any Ideas?...?!


Question:

Do You Have Any Ideas?...?

What's a good theme for a dinner party? Anything besides holiday stuff.


Answers:
I like to use the cuisine of different countries as a theme. For instance: you could do a "Moroccan" theme (or Mexican or Italian, Chinese, Greek, etc.) and decorate the table accordingly. Also serve food and a "special" cocktail from that country before dinner along with a CD of music that reflects the culture. You could even offer small 'party favors' that carry the theme as well. You might actually have fun learning about and researching recipes for that particular place......of course, once you decide on the country you could always come back here to ask for recipes.

I had one that had a high school prom theme to it. It was a blast.

Casino, 70's disco,sock hop, trivia night, cards, board games, wine tasting, foreign foods, etc etc.

The place you need to check out on the web is FoodNetwork. You can find any and all party ideas at that site. How about a Harvest Party? We just hosted a Harvest Party at our our farm with a hayride for adults and kids, bon-fire and lots of yummy food! Best of Luck and I hope you have fun.

we had a blue dinner once. everything was blue from the plates and napkins to the food. blue mashed potatoes etc. Food coloring comes in handy

How fun!! There are so many ideas...

I think 50's and 60's theme would be fun. Everybody can come in character : girls- bobby socks, poodle skirts and pony tails. Guys-jeans, white tshirts with cigarettes rolled up in the sleeve, slicked back hair, etc...
Food would be ice cream shakes or floats, burgers and fries. You could decorate retro...
OR
Oriental theme : make any types of chinese foods (or order out) wontons, egg rolls, fried rice, whatever you like,
Have every body come in costume : girls - geisha dolls with white faces, or floral robes and fans. Guys- samurai warrior with swords and all, drawn on mustache etc...
OR
Mexican Fiesta theme : any mexican foods, tacos, nachos, burritos, enchiladas...
Dress with sombreros and maracas, panchos and mexican dresses and such.

You could even go royal...kings, queens, princes, princesses, jesters, bards, etc...
Make cornish hens (1 for everyone) and potatoes and wine...

Whatever you choose, don't forget the music to go with the theme!! And have fun!

FONDUE! My fave! If you can't do it for appetizer (cheese) and entree (meats and veggies), at least have a choc.fondue for dessert!

MEXICAN

ITALIAN

BLAC & WHITE party

POLKA DOT Party

STRIPES & PLAIDS Party

u could plan all these games and make up some urself and whoever loses the most near the end of the party has 2 do something crazy and weird and whoever wins the most can b the 1 2 plan what the loser has 2 do good luck!!!!!!!!!
