Croon With The Rat Pack

The Rat Pack ruled the Vegas strip in the 1950s and 1960s. They had so much fun with each other that it was contagious around the world!  And...Don’t believe the Rat Pack was strictly men – no way! Women like Angie Dickinson, Shirley MacLaine, Marilyn Monroe and Eva Gardner also were included in this exclusive club! 
    Don you sharkskin shoes, skinny ties and fedora hats and croon along with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. to the songs of the 50’s and 60’s with a Rat Pack Party.   Cocktail dresses, optional!   
  You can add glamor by setting up small little tables, like a nightclub. Reminisce with music from the amazing repertoire of songs these great crooners made famous, and serve martinis and other cocktails in old-fashioned mini-martini glasses Hors d'oeuvres (Some great recipes can be found here.) instead a large meal can be served, and pass out drink tickets so you offer your guests a drink or two on you.
  Since most of the entertaining the members of the Rat Pack did together was unscripted, the perfect party game for a Rat Pack party would be karaoke or improv. Most of the guests will probably know each other, so shyness shouldn't be an issue, and all is done in the name of fun!

   Set up a standee of Sinatra or Monroe for a photo op that will delight your guests and be something to talk about for years! It may be old fashioned - but these people really knew how to party!
