Off With Their Heads!
Movie themed parties are always a fun and easy way to create an entertaining environment, but they arent just for kids anymore! Incorporating your favorite childhood movies is a great way to relive old memories, and to create new ones with all of your friends! This article will explore how different aspects of a party can be morphed to go along with the theme of the film, in this case well use Alice in Wonderland. Also who doesnt love a chance to dress up!
Start with sending out playing card invites, queen of hearts are highly encouraged. Glue multiple cards together and glue the information for the party on the back or for an even more playful invite use a whole deck, writing a word on each card and have your guests put the puzzle together. If youre feeling really ambitious create a clever riddle. Remember to remind your partygoers to dress up as their favorite character, getting people to get into the theme always helps create a fun atmosphere from the start.
An Alice in Wonderland
party wouldnt be complete without including the iconic tea party scene. This can be done easily enough with card tables put together or just put together random tables and throw bright colored tablecloths over them. Whats great about this theme is that the more things dont match the better. Mismatched teacups, plates, and chairs are perfect. Every Wonderland tea party needs a Mad Hatter! So try to have your craziest, ADHD laden friend dress up as that character.
Now for what everyone looks forward to at a party, DRINKS! and food. You can get really creative with cocktails, using iced tea vodka or any of the new cake vodkas would fit the tea party theme and then all is needed is a creative name. Mad hatter martini anyone? How about a caterpillar cosmo? Perhaps having rabbit for the entre might be a bit morbid and off putting so I would suggest sticking to simple cucumber tea sandwiches and of course Eat Me cookies. Individual Drink me vials can also add a little excitement depending on what they contain.
What shall we do as this party you ask? Croquet of course! Since using real flamingos would probably not fit your budget and get you a visit from PETA, plastic lawn flamingos should do the trick. Alice in Wonderland is all about the whimsical and quirky so the more of these elements you can add the better. Also having the movie playing in the background can be a great extra element and be a conversation piece to bring up old childhood memories. Trivia questions from the movie, costume and best impersonation contests, and homemade photo booths are also good ways to entertain guests.
Most importantly just enjoy yourself and act like a kid for a night! Whether it is adult themed or kept innocent, it will certainly be a blast with everyone having fun. Urge people to stay in character, and dont forget to take plenty of pictures!
