Moroccan Themed Party
The other day I was watching Food Network and “Giada at Home” came on. The name of the episode was “Moroccan Magic.” After I saw the show, I knew I wanted to make a Moroccan themed party centered around this food. Below are some ideas I had and the websites I used to find the items. If you want to view Giada’s recipes click the link below!

The key to a Moroccan party is PILLOWS! Pier 1 has some amazing pillows. Below are my favorites.
Mediterranean Tile Pillow
Cabana geometric pillow – Lemon
Embroidered Diamond Pillow
It’s not a Moroccan party unless you sit on the floor! These were my favorite floor cushions I found from Urban Outfitters.

Another important aspect of a Moroccan themed party is lighting. Below I found a cute lantern and some votives you could use. All you have to do is get tea lights and the mood is set!Amber Moroccan Candle Lantern
Now of course you need your table linens. A great website to use is BBJ Linen. There is a great virtual design center. Below is the design I was playing around with. Next you need to set your table. Gold is the way to go. I was able to find pretty cheap plates and a very chic set of Moroccan tea glasses.Moroccan Tea Set

Lastly you have the invitations. Mixbook is a great place to create them but you can always use eventbrite to make online invitations. Here is the design that I liked from Mixbook !

I hope you enjoyed my ideas! Of course if you don’t want to spend a ton of money on a Moroccan themed party you don’t have to. Just think rich, bright colors, gold accents, and low lighting. Let me know what you think in the comments below !
