Party help and promotional stuff

[valarltd]

So, MidSouth is in a month.

I am having a book premiere party. Said book is gay and piratey.

Am at odds with current promo material.
Matchbooks? Bookmarks? Definitely newsletters.

****
Current menu plan:
cannon balls (chocolate cake mixed with nutella and rolled in chocolate jimmies)
a veggie tray, with palm-tree centerpiece
a cake with the book cover on it.

Golden punch (nonalcoholic)
A rum punch

Any suggstions here?

*****

As a doorprize, I am giving away a CD copy of the novel.

Should I have a couple of other doorprizes?

****

Current decor is heavy on the beads and coins, (for giving away) and the food. We can't do much as we just have a room and not a suite. I have a ship and treasure chest cutouts.

I have a Jack Sparrow Skull.

Anyone have a life-size skeleton they could let me borrow? I can get a palm tree.

Any suggestions here?

Chilled shrimp.

Don't know if they have it in your area but the Targets around here had these little pirate ships for a buck (actually several piaraty things).

Oh that's right, I was walking past the see spot save and spotted it. I wish they would get some Harry Potter stuff too.

Well that sounds pretty good to me. The only punch type thing I know of is made with lime sherbet and ginger-ale, sweet but pretty good.

I like the matchbook idea, I don't think I've seen anything like that.

How about a pirate headscarf as a door prize, shouldn't be too hard to find a black one with a skull and crossed bones on it

Gay pirates FTW! \o/

I'm no help, I know.

I don't have a skeleton but sometimes Libraries will have them so you can check them out or ask over at the high school, the biology teachers almost always have one and they might would let you borrow it.
