How to Throw a Star Wars Life Day Party
This week, we combined our love of Star Wars and Christmas by throwing a Life Day party! What is Life Day, you ask? Well, Star Wars super fans can tell you that Life Day is a Wookiee holiday first introduced in the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. The special follows Chewbacca and Han Solo, as they attempt to get Chewy home in time for the holiday while evading the Galactic Empire. The Star Wars Holiday Special was very poorly received and was never rebroadcast or released on video. But the special did introduce audiences to Boba Fett, and I think that’s a pretty big win! While I understand the criticisms…

So, to celebrate this seasonal change, we hosted a dinner party inspired by the dark side of Disney – the dastardly villains! We love a good Disney villain.

Each menu item was directly…

Little Shop of Horrors Themed Dinner
This week’s themed dinner was inspired by the horror comedy musical – Little Shop of Horrors! While it’s still very much the summer season, come August, we can’t help but get excited for Halloween. So, to dip our toes in the spooky season while still respecting these sunshiny days, I aspired to create a themed dinner that touched on both seasons. A “Summerween” film, if you’ve jumped on that bandwagon. And then it hit me – Little Shop of Horrors! The film’s flower shop setting embodies summer, while the terrifying carnivorous plant delivers the creepy component. I don’t know about you, but it makes perfect sense to me! The catchy…

Wicked Themed Dinner
The week, we stepped into the land of Oz with a spellbinding Wicked themed dinner! Inspired by The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Wicked first debuted on Broadway in 2003. The musical focuses on two witches, Elphaba and Glinda, and the events which occurred before and after Dorothy Gale donned her ruby slippers. Despite being polar opposites in nature, Elphaba and Glinda develop a deep friendship. However, their friendship is tested by the corrupt rule of Oz and ultimately leads to Elphaba’s descent into villainy as the Wicked Witch of the West. Wicked achieved massive success and became one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history. I was incredibly fortunate to…
