Entertaining Sex and the City Style

The movie event of the year is only two weeks away...well, at least according to Sex and the City fanatics like me. As Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha fans across the country get ready for opening weekend of Sex and the City 2 the movie, you can bet that plenty of SATC themed parties are bound to follow. And what kind of Sex and the City fan party planner would I be if I didn't offer a couple ideas for putting on such a fabulous affair.

• Play up the color pink in your decor with fuchsia lighting, table cloths, balloons, flowers or votive candle holders. Black, silver and zebra print are great accent colors, and don't forget to throw around a couple faux diamonds to play up the fab factor.
• Encourage your girls to let out their inner Carrie by asking your guests to come in their fiercest stilettos. You can even add a little competitive fun to the mix by having all the girls vote on their favorite pair.

• What would a SATC party be without Cosmopolitans. Have a Make Your Own Martini station with plenty of vodka and mixers for drinks like Cosmos, Appletinis and Manhattans. Have items like sugar, strawberries, raspberries and lime slices on hand as well to garnish the glasses. If you're mixing drinks up before the movie though, just make sure to cab it over to the theater.
• Hostess With the Mostess has some great templates for Sex and the City embelishments, which make for the perfect napkin holders, cupcake toppers or even place cards. You can print out the templates for free here.
• Send your guests off with a cute little party favor. Perhaps the Sex and the City book, and I <3 NY shirt, pink nail polish, a mini stiletto keychain...
