For the midnight premiere of The Hunger Games next week, I’m going to host a dinner party. As a person who loves a good party, I put a lot of thought into each of the details, so planning this party is no exception.
I bet there are a lot of other folks out there that will be hosting a party, so I thought I’d share some ideas in hopes of getting you to share some with me.
The food: I’m relying heavily on Emily Ansara Baines’s Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook, which includes a lot of incredible bread recipes. However, I’m also going to head out to a nice cheese shop and pick up some goat cheese in honor of Prim. I think it will be a nice little touch to add to the night.
The music: There’s a lot of great music already being released from the official Soundtrack, but these two tracks from Feist and Jenny Lewis will be wonderful additions to the mood of the evening.
Pretty Bird by Jenny Lewis
Graveyard by Feist
Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift featuring The Civil Wars (Hunger Games Soundtrack)
The decor: I picked up a small fishbowl (above) at the store and wrote all my friends names on slips of paper. I figure a reaping will be in order… But what should we do when we get picked? Feats of strength?
I bought some white and yellow flowers in honor of a certain tribute from District 11 and I’ve got a crown bowl to represent the Victors of the 74th Hunger Games. I also made a tablecloth with the names of all the tributes and their districts (DIY coming this weekend!)
Are you going to host a Hunger Games dinner party? What will you do for your party?
