LOST Series Finale Party

 

The finale of LOST is airing Sunday, May 23rd beginning with a recap show at 7pm EST. So, gather your friends together to celebrate and have a LOST finale party and to finally get some answers about what is happening on that Island!

Send a Dharma theme recruiting letter invitation to the finale.  Keep your text simple without giving too many details since we all know how evasive those Dharma folks can be with information.  Tell everyone that they have been chosen by the Dharma Initiative for an important job and let all the recruits know what time they need to report to the submarine.  Maybe send a small package of jelly beans with the invitation and cover the label.  Tell people to please eat the "vitamins" before getting on board the sub.  (You do remember that all the Dharma recruits were knocked out during the submarine rides, right?)

Ask everyone to dress in their finest LOST theme apparel.  Some may show up in ratty tank tops and jeans.  Others may wear jumpsuits.  Some may dress in 70s gear.  Maybe someone will come wearing scrubs pretending to be Jack Shepard.  I'd wear a tank top and a pretend pregnancy belly to be Claire.  You'll want to have a camera on hand for pictures of this crowd!

You can also turn an area of your party room into your own Dharma station.  Start with 70s music playing in the background.  Then give all of your guests a plain white nametag to wear with their name and Dharma job.  Make sure someone is a "Workman" and that you have a security team.  Name different areas around the house (or party location for the different Dharma stations, such as The Swan, The Hydra, The Flame, The Looking Glass and The Orchid.  Small signs with our faux logo work perfectly.) 

For your menu will be determined by the time of your party.  If you're having people for just the show, then all you need are some desserts and snacks.  If you want to start the festivities early, start with dinner.  Theme all your food around LOST, of course.  Here are some food ideas that work well at a LOST party:

• Fried chicken - cover the boxes with homemade "Clucks Chicken" labels and even add a photo of Hurley
•  Island Fare - coconut shrimp, jerk chicken, etc.
• Airplane food - for snacks, offer airplane pretzels and peanuts.  For the meal, serve everyone on those small trays used on a plane.  (Those small bottles of alcohol would be fun too!)
