{Event of the Week} Vintage themed ideas

For those of you not familiar with the T.V show Mad Men, get on it now, you're missing out! For those that are, how cute is this themed Sterling Cooper cocktail party? I can't believe how much detail was put into this night, amazing!







Loved this idea of re-creating props from the show. This bulletin board was featured in the episode Peggy was trying to find a room mate, her notice read: “Fun-loving girl, responsible sometimes. Likes to laugh, lives to love seeks size six for city living and general gallivanting. No dull moments or dull men tolerated.”

Candy cigarettes, the perfect prop for a Mad Men party!

Fun, original game that relates back to the shows theme : advertising.

What a great idea for a hen's day or cocktail night. To encourage others to dress up why not offer a best dressed prize? Other good ideas with a vintage theme: 

Vintage inspired morning/ afternoon tea. Games could include tea taste testing and then guessing from a list of teas which one you think it is or a vintage fashion best dressed - or best hat?!



Vintage inspired BBQ / Picnic at home. Games could include Ring toss, croquet, or Bocce. I'm imagining vintage picnic baskets and esky's filled with ice and mini cold glass bottle cokes! 



...and lastly if you love to cook, why not host a dinner the way it used to be done? Invite friends to bring a dish if that makes it easier. If your friends are foodies too, why not give them an old fashioned recipe to make and you can discuss how it all went over a glass of wine on the night! Charades was also a popular game back in the day at dinner party's.  Think formal / Black tie vintage style!
