Before the BBC announced their official Celebration event in London, I'd been quietly plotting throwing a party of my own. While I'm super-excited to be caught up in what is sure to be near-hysterical mass excitement in the 'Smoke', I'm still slightly sad that I won't be at home putting the finishing touches to some fish fingers and custard, or proudly displaying a TARDIS cake. (On the other hand, I am thrilled that I don't need to turn the house upside down to make it party-ready!)
If you've been thinking somewhat hazily that it might be nice to have something a little more exciting than a crumpled bag of jelly babies to snack on during the 50th anniversary special--or are throwing a last minute viewing party--here are some awesome ideas for party food, fit to grace any Gallifreyan table!

It might be a good idea to have some Jammie Dodgers to hand, in case you need to help The Doctor #savetheday with a biscuit! We Brits can just open a packet, but if you live in a part of the world which is sadly without Jammie Dodgers, then you can make an (almost) copy of them.
To help your party go with a swing--and perhaps help everyone to emulate Eleven's wedding dancing stylings--how about some Who-themed cocktails?

No Doctor Who party would be complete without a TARDIS! Being me, I'd always opt for a cake version, but you could cover your front door in a vinyl decal (or fabric hanging if your other half or landlord nix that awesome idea).

However you choose to celebrate, have a wonderful 50th! We'll be watching in glorious 3D with one of our friends--he's come all the way from America for Celebration, now that's dedication--and then thoroughly rehashing it over dinner. I can't wait!
Oh, so much to love! We had a Doctor Who party once and a man did bring fish fingers and custard. Of course, the "fish fingers" were just lovely biscuits.
ReplyDeleteI think the Cassandra Lasagna might happen here...
I would really love it. Luckily Lucas--having seen this post--is now talking about having a Doctor Who birthday party next year. Fez for everyone, then!
DeleteSo excited!
ReplyDeleteHow was the 50th for you? Did you enjoy the ep?
DeleteGosh your son is just the cutest!
ReplyDeleteHe was especially cute that day; he even got to pose with someone dressed up as Amy Pond :)
DeleteI MUST have Dalek pizza.
ReplyDeleteLove this post and I'm no Whovian.

Your mugs suggest otherwise!
DeleteI'll give the Dalek pizza a whirl for Lucas one day. Keeping the Dalek looking the proper shape will be challenging in my old and wonky oven, though!
I do want to create a store one day soon once I get settled in my new place and I am hoping through the blogs and social media to create and inspire others to garden, renovate, or just be fabulous.Snuffle Mat

ReplyDeleteI wanted to find games that were really attractive because that made me forget all around to really "focus on entertainment", which I really needed at that time. That helps me relax completely before continuing to work. continuing education esthetician
ReplyDeleteit gives you a chance to absorb your surroundings. The food portion stuck out to me because I never stop to think about the growth process of what i’m eating and marvel of natures creations. Gifts Australia
