Yes the primer for Game of thrones was two weeks ago, but I love the HBO series (I still need to read the books which is on my thing to do) and I feel I should do a party theme. Then I got to thinking with all the complexity of each house and location why not separate out the four main houses into different parties. To start off I am doing the “favorite” house Lannister. The Lannisters reside in Casterly Rock but for the sake of this theme we are going to hold it in Red Keep, King’s Landing.
Décor
The Red Keep is full of luxury and grandeur, so very suitable for the Lannisters. Wall decorations are plastered with fine tapestries and fabrics.
Hang some Lannister crest and banners like theses:
Also draping fine fabric along your windows and furniture will help enhance the haughtiness of the room. When choosing fabrics, go for gold and reds colors like the one shown below:
For lighting It should be bright like if you were at the beach on a sunny day.
Now for your table; ideally your table should be long in a dark wood.
Food and Drink will be served on this table in a more formal manor. Plate and dishware should be in gold plating with fabric running down the length of the table. Also adding candelabras is a nice touch as well.
Here are some examples of some plate and dish wears:
To top off your table a beautiful centerpiece would look lovely. You could go for flowers but why don’t do something like this instead:
Food
Imp Skewers (Lemon Garlic Shrimp)
Bloody Crown (Roosted Rack of Venison)
Chop ‘n Bits Salad (Quinoa, Corn, and Mint Salad)
King Slayer Pie (Winter Veggie Pie)
Drink
Lion’s Mane (Blonde Ambition)
House Lannister
Paying Debts (Spiked Sparkling Cider)
This is a party that the Lannisters would approve of. The rest of the houses will follow in the coming months so have no fear. If you have suggestions or pictures of your own themed party, please share and send them to me. See you on Friday for another rant or next week.
See you on the other side
