Thread: My Voodoo on the Bayou 2011 Party!

Tweet

This past weekend I had my Voodoo on the Bayou themed party! It was a definite success! There was about 40 people and I created a swamp feel outdoors and played "tempt your fate" voodoo style! Really fun theme to decorate with and got lots of fun themed costumes. Here are some pics of the decor and trophies. Oh, and me as Tia Dalma the voodoo priestess and my hubby as the swamp thing.

It all looks amazing.
The food looks yummy and love those trophies!!!
Costumes decor it all rocks!!!

Love it, Love it!!! That looks awesome!! Love your giant voodoo doll for tempt your fate and your trophies are GREAT...sooo creative!!
You should very proud of yourself!

It looks like it was great!!

PS. What is on those skewers? Yummy....

Thanks everyone. I had a hard time letting go of the trophies cause they turned out so well. The Voodoo doll for tempt your fate was a nice change from the balloons we usually use. The skewers were antipasto skewers. I took bamboo skewers and broke them in half. I put cooked cheese tortellinis that I had marinated in some balsamic dressing, then blk olive, salami folded in quarters, half of marinated mozzarella ball (mini ones), grape tomato (or small cherry tomato), and a green pimento stuffed olive. It was very easy to put together and everyone loved them.

Everything looks amazing! I especially love the way the patio cover has the hanging gauzy cloth with twigs!
Your trophies are awesome! I know your guests loved getting them.

You did an awesome job with everything!

Looks like so much fun! What were the ribcage calzone looking things? And where did u find that clever serving dish?

Thanks again for the compliments. It was a lot of fun. @ badgirl-That is my sausage bread. It is just pillsbury french bread dough that i carefully unroll from the seam, fill with Italian jimmy dean sausage (which I brown and drain) and heaps of mozzarella cheese. I fold it around the filling and close the seams. You can tell the final size by looking at the full set of "ribs" each side is one french bread roll. So It would be 1 french bread dough roll, 1lb sausage, and 1 1/2 cups cheese. I did two of these since I had a big crowd and it looked better on the platter too. Then I cook according to package ( i think 350 for about 25-30 minutes) then cut into "ribs" The platter is just a large square platter and the center is a separate rectangular dish that is supposed to be used for olives I think. I just fill with marinara. Then the arms and head are part of the groundbreaker skeleton from Michaels that I got 50% off for $10. The legs I put in the bathtub with an alligator head
