I’ve been thinking a lot about the TV series
Mad Men after having viewed it on DVD. And I know that for you lucky folks with cable, Season Three is starting up again tomorrow.
Today I was browsing Etsy.com after having purchased 2 vintage cocktail glasses this morning for my own soon-to-launch Etsy shop. I wanted to see if there were any similar items on Etsy, so I searched on the word cocktail. That’s how I came up with my brilliant idea:
a Mad Man Cocktail Party! Doesn’t it sound like fun? You and your guests can dress up in your 50s and 60s attire, sip martinis out of vintage cocktail glasses, and munch on hor d'oeuvres. I think it would be a blast!
First, you must send out the invitations! So many to choose from, like these
wine and cheese ones, these
retro invites, or
these, or even
these.
Of course, you must have your
martini set. There are so many to choose from. Maybe
this one is more your style. Or how about this
numerology shaker.
Not sure how to shake them? A
drink recipe book will help. And a
cocktail tray with pink elephants makes it so much easier to serve up the martinis.
Don't forget the
swizzle sticks and
coasters. And truly,
mermaid cocktail glass charms are de rigeur.
Cocktail napkins will come in handy when someone gets sloshed and then sloshes their drink.
If the spill is really bad, you might need to grab a
towel.
I’ll be there in my
party dress and
heels.Here, would you hold my
purse a moment? I need to get out my
cigarettes.
OK, now I'm all set!
Cheers, everybody!
