Is your idea of utopia filled with butter, ice cream, cheese, yogurt, and many more dairy filled delights? June is National Dairy Month, so in honor of the occasion, we are please to introduce you to our Dairy Party. Lactose intolerant friends should probably skip this one.
INVITATION TYPE
- Snail Mail: card stock with a nice image of a jersey cow should do the trick.
DECORATIONS
Remember Candy Land? Try to recreate the wonder using dairy themes and products instead of candy products. For example:
- Instead of King Kandy, your mascot will be Duke Dairy.
- Instead of Princess Frostine, go with Princess Pudding.
- Instead of Grandma Nutt, you'll have Grandma Gouda.
- You get the idea – a whimsical land of cheese and buttery goodness. We're thinking plenty of cheese boards, a hint of glitter and sparkle and some cheesehead hats for good measure.
FOOD AND DRINK MENU
- Appetizer: Barbecue Cheddar Dip
-
Mmm, full of cheese, butter, and eggs.
- Dessert: Caramel Custard Flan
- Cocktail: Frozen Mudslide
ENTERTAINMENT
Have a playlist of dairy inspired tunes:
- "Cream" by Prince
- "Milkshake" by Kelis
- "Milkcow Blues" by Elvis Presley
- "Pudding Time" by Primus
- "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk" by Rufus Wainwright
Some movies to get you craving more dairy:
GAMES
- Ice Cream-opoly: board game dedicated to ice cream
- Milk a cow: Yes, we mean literally. Ok, we're not sure what kind of access you have to dairy farms, and/or cows, but it's an idea to put in your and your guests' heads.
- Don't Cut the Cheese: While this classic game is recommended for 5 to 8-year-olds, we still think it's fun.
- Churn Your Own Butter: Get raw milk from your local dairy farmer (if possible) and go to town to see who can churn up butter the fastest!
ATTIRE
Die hard dairy fans may want to come dressed as either milk maids or dairy farmers. For the rest of us, we are fine keeping our dress casual and comfortable, with pants that will forgive a bloated, dairy filled waistline.
LAST MINUTE TIPS
Don't worry lactose intolerant friends; we have a party just for you tomorrow!
And as always, remember to bring your camera!
