The Road to Morocco

Hosting a dinner party with a Moroccan Theme doesn’t have to be expensive, but it definitely will bring your guests a night to remember.
   Decorating for a Moroccan Theme party requires more imagination than money. Lots of vibrant and colors – purples, burgundy, sapphire blues and greens; silk and organza fabrics, fringe and beads, mosaics, and pillows everywhere for seating. Small palm trees or fig trees would make great additions.
You can take some of your old costume jewelry (or go to a local dollar store and purchase some colorful beads) to drape around vases and on the table. Place Moroccan lanterns and tealights around for ambiance. Have some incense burning around the room (check to make sue some of your guests are not allergic).  Place gold charger plates under the dishes, or at least the centerpiece. The center vase can be filled with large leaves and fronds, and draped with beads and jewelry.
Your menu could contain: mint tea; avocado salad, couscous, lamb shish-kabobs and watermelon. It has a variety of colors and fits right into the Moroccan theme.
Wrap yourself in netted scarves with fringe, and ask your friends to dress in Moroccan themed attire. You can even have guest try to do Moroccan dances (belly dancing) as entertainment. 

There is no doubt this dinner party is one that will be talked about for months!
