    Default Party Ideas?

    In a few weeks I'm hiring out a tequila bar for my 23rd birthday party. The theme is "Fairytales, Nursery Rhymes and Storybook Characters". As some of you saw in my thread in BB, I'm dressing as the Queen of Hearts.

    I need some appropriately themed ideas for decorations and food. I think I may stick a banner up on the wall that says "Once Upon A Time..." and the only food I could think of was plates of cookies with "Eat Me" written on them (a la Alice in Wonderland)

    Has anyone got any other fun decoration or food ideas?

    Fairy floss.

    ^ That's good! Have jelly beans or something and try to sell them for cows! Or in a bowl that says 'Will Sell Beans for Cow' or something.

    The Caterpillar's hookah from "Alice in Wonderland" would be great for a party too! "WHO . . . ARE . . . YOU?"

    *Sings "White Rabbit" a la Jim Carrey's ubervibrato rendition*

    Actually, you can make awesome mushrooms out of meringue - dusted with a touch of cocoa powder for dirt. Pretty easy, just a bit time-consuming.

    OH! And Snow White's POISON APPLE! Serve candied and caramel ones!!!

    (Can you tell I love throwing theme parties with food to match?)

    Goldilock's Porridge? that's take some tweaking to make it a party item - maybe say she made oatmeal cookies out of the porridge?

    Red Riding Hood's basket of goodies! You could put all kinds of miscellaneous munchies in there. With a sign: The better to munch you with, my dear.

    *Books flight to Australia to help cater*

    It's a bit early seasonally, but I KNOW you could find a gingerbread house for Hansel and Gretel! Look around online if you're not inclined to construct it yourself (though they have kits that make it pretty easy - you could customize it a lot that way, update it, make it a little racy).

    For crudite, you could make it fit thematically by calling it Peter Rabbit's Garden. And what about the headless Horseman's pumpkin from Sleepy Hollow? You could have a Jack O'Lantern labeling it as such - AND serve yummy pumpkin bars next to it.

    I'll stop now. Sorry for the monopolizing. I get carried away.

    This might be difficult and time-consuming, but...

    Gingerbread Strip Club.

    You know, instead of a house. Make a gingerbread strip club with a peppermint stick for a pole!

    Oh oh oh... how about white cream puffs shapes like roses that you give out paintbrushes for and can paint with raspberry sauce?!
