this is definitely one of the best topics of this whole challenge and such a great idea. however, I did find it quite hard to think of everything and I'm a person who wants to plan it all. not that everything always goes to plan but I like to at least have an outline of things. but I tried, so here it goes.
The Guests
- Hermione and Ron (I could do with some studying tips and I've always liked Ron much better than Harry)
- Hagrid, Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore (three of the most inspirational characters in all of the books)
- Michael Stipe (singer of R.E.M. and an absolute idol of mine who I've always wanted to meed, such a genius)
- Brandon Flowers (need I say more?)
- William Shakespeare (always wanted to know what he really looked like and how he talks and what his inspiration was)
- Jamie Oliver (I mean, of course!)
- Dr. Gregory House
- James Watson and Fracis Crick (the guys who discovered the double-helix)
- Lorelai and Rory Gilmore (me and my mum always watched the show together)
- Mum (because I know she'd love to meet everyone too)
as you can tell I'm being a bit of a harry potter and science geek here but there are so many people out there I'd love to be able to speak to. I'm sure if I had time to think longer or if you asked me in a few weeks I could think of more people but that's today's list.
The Venue
the party will be taking place in a lovely garden and everyone will be sat around a round table so that everyone can talk to everyone as I'm sure there'll be some interesting conversations going on. there will also be a bar area with smaller tables to stand so people don't have to sit around the table all night, they can go and socialize with whoever they want.
The Music
I will create a playlist asking everyone of the guests to select some of their favourite songs so everyone will have something to look forward to, I will also be selecting some of my favourites. also there will be the option for the more musically talented among the guests to grab a mic and perform themselves.
The Menu
when the guests arrive there will be a strawberry mint fruit punch waiting for them as a welcome drink which will also be available at the bar later along with several cocktails. after the welcome drink the guests can sit around the table. they will find a menu there and can choose from two starts, two mains and two desserts. they can also ask to have half half if they want to try everything. here's the menu for you.
I loved this post and not only do I now desperately want a garden dinner party but also try all those things I invented for the menu. I loved writing this post and I hope you enjoyed reading it. what would you choose from the menu?
Magdalena.
