Who doesn’t
love the Muppets? I grew up with them
and have continued to love them into adulthood.
So why not give thanks with those who have helped us grow into the adults
that we are today.
Décor
For the décor, I’m going for Muppet
show meets the outdoors. While the Show
is set in a theater, it’s a little hard to transform your entire dinning room
into a theater stage. Instead we are
going to have the Muppet cast be the decorations.
Start off
with a pile of fake leafs, in fall colors of course.
Print out your
favorite Muppet characters (be sure to Photoshop a pilgrim hat on them) and
glue them on a stick and with the help of a foam ball place it in the middle of
your leaves.
It’s like they are there to celebrate with you. You can place these leaf piles around your
home. Your main focus is going to be the
dinning table.
For your
table drape it in burlap table cloth and have the edge of the table cloth hit
the floor.
Next have a table runner go down the middle. Now this isn’t going to be your ordinary table
runner, this is going to be the fur of a Muppet table runner! You can buy faux fur at your local fabric
store, just be sure that it is fuzzy and bright. Think like Animal or Fozzie.
If you want to go the extra mile you can add the character’s
head at the end of the runner.
In the
center you would normally have your turkey, but I want to put something there
until the food arrives on the table. If
you own large Muppet stuffed animals or actual Muppet puppets, throw those bad
boys in the middle with some hats. If
you don’t then you can make (or buy) your own turkey Muppet.
I also suggest making your own Camilla the chicken and place
her around the table. Follow the link
below the picture to learn how.
Use felt placemats, match the colors up to your guests favorite
Muppet.
Use your fine china and flatware, but be sure to use cloth
napkins. On these napkins you will add
your guests favorite Muppet on the napkin in the form as a pin. There are many tutorials on how to make felts
pins online, just find a picture of the Muppet and start gluing.
The final
decoration the chandelier. This isn’t a necessity
but it really pulls the room together with the lighting.

As always
these are just suggestions, I know we will all have way more food than what I suggested. This should help bet the ball rolling, or
your bellies, for your own Muppet themed thanksgiving. Like always I would love to hear from you if
you have any suggestions on what I should do for the next Party Wednesday; or
have pics you would like to share just send them my way. See you Friday for some ranting or
whatever.
See you on the other side
