So remember the new Alice and Wonderland movie that came out in March? Well, my friends and I decided to add to the experience of watching it and not just by donning those nifty 3D glasses. We 'fell' into it. After receiving fancy and delightful invitations by mail, guests attended dressed as wonderland characters. We had the Hatter, the Hare, the Doormouse, several Alices, several cards, a flower, the caterpillar, the Cheshire cat, a few random characters, and a killer Queen of Hearts.
The table was made to be slightly chaotic. There were at least seven different colorful tablecloths, white roses spray painted red, mismatched chairs, and mismatched tea cups. A few extra cups were placed at random for a clean cup as needed. The fare included special herbal teas, hot chocolate, cucumber and egg salad sandwiches, petit fours, Beef wellington, scones, and berries, the scones of course being placed far from their complimentary jams and clotted cream. We even had a stuffed white rabbit and a fake pocket watch that we filled with jam and butter. (The best butter of course!)
It was mentioned by many that one of the best parts of the good clean silliness and jovial company was the rotation of seats that sporadically occurred. This was because we had the chance to talk and laugh with everyone at the table and not just those in the near vicinity. We did walk to the theater in costume and don the glasses too. After a lot of hard work by a lot of people it was a tremendous success of fun!
