STAR WARS ADULT DINNER PARTY

Photographer and event planner, Heather Muto of Rise to the Occasions, was challenged with the task of developing a sophisticated dinner party for a client whose husband is a big Star Wars fan. "I was thrilled with the chance to take something that could otherwise come across kitschy and turn it into something elegant and fun for all the guests," she said.  As her company name suggests, Heather certainly did rise to the occasion with a beautiful party set with gold stars and shades of blue.  She worked with caterer, Nataliya Vakulenko, to give each food item a fun character name. Heather also made an effort to integrate Star Wars references with fun, yet subtle signs, throughout the party. A great takeaway idea from this party is the Mad Libs Heather created. It had a Star Wars theme, of course, and everyone had a great time filling it out. Although it's an adult party, it's always a good idea to have at least one interactive activity. Guests also enjoyed taking photos with the different props.  All in all the party was a blast.  Big thanks to Heather for sharing the photos with us!
