So the FI and I are throwing ourselves an Engagement party this Sat. We are having an off key theme, Sentenced for life. We have had our pictures taken as if we were arrested and sentenced to life with each other. We put them on a poster board and wrote out a list of accomplices who were still wanted (our bridal party) as well as what they were most recently seen doing (Funny things). I also made chain links and attached black balloons to them so they look like a ball and chain to hang from our dining room ceiling. As for food we are making cheap prison things like hot dogs (chicken slop in casings), tuna salad (Nutraloaf) and ramen salad (The County can only afford Ramen). We also made dips and such to call them slop and gruel. To top it off we made a punch called sewer water, to be served from mason jars, that really looks like sewer water but tastes great.
In theory it sounded like enough, but once it got put together it looks lacking. I went and got a black tablecloth for the table and those ugly tin mass serving plates from the dollar store to spruce it up, but it is not helping. We thought maybe it would be cool to give people prison names as they came in to attach also to their mason jar but we only came up with 2 names and we have 30 people. Any more ideas?
