Last year I did a Dantes Inferno themed party, and it went way better than expected. It was my first year hosting and decorating (something I've always wanted to do). I put a lot of time and money into my decorations, and I got a lot of praise for it. Despite how great my rooms looked, the night ended in just a lot of drunken shenanigans.
At first I was a little frustrated. We didn't get to the games, and it was just a really big excuse to drink a lot. After a while I realized that that's okay! My friends had a great time, they want me to do it again this year, and I loved decorating!
So here is my idea. I'm going to stop fighting the current, and give them what they want...(early stage alcholism). My wife came up with the idea of "Drunks of the round table". I loved her cleverness, and i've been brainstorming decorations. I know I want to transform my living room into castle walls, and I have a lot of the fake torch things (gotta love post Halloween shopping). We also plan on having people bild lances out of beer cans (hence the name) and don stupid armor to joust outside (need to consider safety a bit more).
Any other ideas. I want to appease my friends, but I don't want to give up my new found love for decorating. How can I incorporate Medieval settings, creepy halloween, and apparently adult drunken shenanigans?
Thanks for the help!
