A LOST DINNER PARTY

I was planning on having a party to celebrate LOST's final show tonight. Then I decided not to as I wasn't going to have enough time to pull it all together.

However, yesterday I decided to have my family over for dinner and since everyone was LOST fans I would do a Tablescape with the LOST theme.

I didn't have to time to go shopping for anything and I didn't want to spend money to buy anything new anyway.

So, I used what I had and tried to be creative with what I could find and this is what I came up with. You would have to be a LOST fan to really understand any of these things.



I started with wicker chargers which represents the huts they all built and lived in. Then I had no idea what kind of plates to use. What would they have on an island?

I came up with printing out the Dharma logo for the cafeteria and put it under a glass plate.

For our utensils I thought I would go with plastic as that is what they had from the plane crash.



Most of the stuff I came up with was things I printed myself and used as different items.

It took me awhile to come up with everything but it didn't cost a penny! Plus I had fun coming up with silly things to use to symbolize different things to do with LOST.

I printed off the Oceanic logo and put them on plastic cups. Again, thinking they could use the cups from the plane.

Shells of course, had to be used since the whole show takes place on and island and the beach plays a big part.

For napkin rings used the same logo as the cups only much smaller. I thought that on most flights, the napkin rings were always paper so these worked just fine.

Pulling the centerpiece together was lots of fun. I had a business card from Sun.

A book with broken glasses taped together represents those used by Sawyer.

Of course all food items were covered with labels that looked like the ones on LOST. The Dharma Initiative food.

We had to have Hurley's winning lottery ticket.

Here is the ticket used by Lock to board flight 815.

Then, I got really silly and picked up one of the dog's toys. A squirrel. I thought it would be fun to see who got what this represents. Any idea?

If you said, the dead squirrel that Clair kept in her baby's crib, you would be right.

Then of course, there was the polar bear. I still don't understand how they came up the the idea of a polar bear on a tropical island. Do you?

So there you have it. A LOST theme tablescape, pulled together last minute. Full of laughs and hidden meanings.

I can't wait for the show to start. I have been lost this whole time so I'm looking forward to see how they pull it all together. Are you a fan?

LOST PARTY PLANS

Do you watch LOST? If you do then I'm sure you know the final show is coming up on May 20, 2010.

Will all the questions finally be answered? Will we be left to still wonder what has happened all those years? Will all of the people left on island live? So many questions.

Well, I for one, can't wait to see what the writers come up with. In fact, I'm planning a small viewing party. Just a few family members. Yet, I still want it to be fun.

I thought I would show you some ideas I'm thinking of using.



For the invitations, I'm using Oceanic Airline tickets. I'll have the date, time and location of where the party is listed on there.

Aren't these cute, yet very easy, cupcakes? I think I'm going to look for some airplanes. If I can find some at a good price, I'm making these!

How about having little alcohol bottles? After all, didn't they drink these on the plane?

I am going to make some "props" like the DHARMA food. I think these are the best decorating ideas.

You can even use the DHARMA food as your "meal" you are serving. Add some Mr. Cluck's Fried Chicken and Apollo candy bars and you are set.

Do you remember Hurley's Mr. Cluck's Fried Chicken?

You can make wrappers for your own candy bars to look like Apollo bars. These can be great to snack on while watching the show or even to give as a favor to take home afterwards.

How about serving some great fish crackers. Just like the ones Sawyer ate. These can made out of sugar cookie dough that is colored with food coloring and then cutting them to look like fish and writing DHARMA on them.

Of course the "numbers" must be used to decorate. Perhaps, if you can get an old computer (Goodwill) you could have the numbers taped up there.

I think it would be super to have everyone wear a DHARMA t-shirt to the party.

Or you could give out T-Shirts as your favors. I think everyone would enjoy having one of these.

You could even give everyone a different style shirt.

Rather then spend money buying these, just print off the design you want onto an iron on and make your own.

So there you have it. A few fun ideas to use for your own LOST party. I would love to what else you could think of for fun ideas.
