There is a chance that perhaps I was born in the wrong decade. But then I remember that women were just arm candy or housewives….and I change my mind.
However that doesn’t keep me from enjoying of the nostalgia of times gone by! Travis and I LOVE to watch Mad Men! And when it came time to throw our very own holiday party….What could be better than a party ala Christmas 1963??? Hence our Mad Mad Holiday Party was born.
First I sent out real invites. Yes I did. Mailed them with actual stamps. Too bad they don’t cost the same is 1963!!!
Our menu was of that era as well with Deviled Eggs, Jello Mold, Pigs in a Blanket, Chips and Dip, Cheese wheel, & Shrimp cocktail along with some sweet treats of santa hat brownies!!!
The bar menu consisted of 5 fabulous drinks pulled right from the show! Manhattan, Brandy Alexander, Old Fashioned, Sidecar, Martini, and Vodka Gimlets. The thing to note about these drinks??? THEY ARE STRONG!!!!
The night was full of laughter, pictures (in our fun photo booth) and we decorated with candy cigarettes and magazines from NOV/DEC 1963 (Complete with a December 1963 Playboy in the bathroom)
This was so much fun we might just have to do another one sometime…..
