So, what are two things that go perfectly with Christmas parties? Cocktails and Christmas cookies, of course! I had so much fun setting up this festive area in our kitchen! This built in hutch with glass cabinets is perfect for party fare. You could also set this up at your kitchen island or table! Old […]

We are officially moved into our new home! I haven’t done much decorating yet but I did style our dining room table! I had the opportunity recently to create my first Thanksgiving table with Old Time Pottery! I’ve styled fall tables in the past but we are usually not home for Thanksgiving so this was […]

Things are in full holiday swing over here! Starting with the front porch. I was so happy Old Time Pottery wanted to collaborate again on our porch decorations. It is a really fun area to decorate! So, you may remember our Spooky Porch had witch hats hanging from the ceiling. I really liked what they […]

Wicked Theme Party Inspiration
I saw Wicked for the second time this past weekend and was reminded of just how amazing it is! Nothing compares to seeing it in NYC but this was very close. Not to mention my six year old niece went and it was great seeing it through her eyes too. We both share a love of the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz.
It got me thinking about doing a party around the musical. Here is my first Photoshop collage…I still need practice 😉

Purple I Heart Oz magnets would make great party favors.
Caramel apples for snacks (for green color)
There are so many different ways you could go with this party. You could even do a whole "Guh-lenda" themed party with iridescent items and light colors. I would try to incorporate quotes and lyrics from the musical like "Defy Gravity" and "Popular" in your surroundings. Printing them out on colored cardstock, framing and setting them around the room like HWTM did with her Twilight Party. Add sparkle with green colored gems in vases or candlescapes to imitate emeralds. HWTM demonstrates this with red sea glass at her Twilight Party. Have the soundtrack playing in the background with posters, Playbills and programs sitting around would also add to the Wicked mood.
Have you thrown or attended a Wicked party? Do you have any ideas on other elements to include?
You did great with your first attempt at photoshop! I love this party idea. My mom saw Wicked and has been raving about it. Now I need to go see it!
Thanks Kendall. So much to learn!
I stumbled upon your blog…how fun!

…and mom to a WICKED-obsessed 9yo–her most recent party theme…send me your email address and I’ll forward some super-cool pics.
In any theme party, don’t forget to serve the food with the same theme i.e. cake with the “Wicked” icing on it. Dress code can be mandatory as well for all the guests if you will. You can add the “Wicked” Music playing in the background plus the “Wicked” dvd on the tv set to create the atmosphere.

Cheers! Enjoy!
