I'm thinking anything Caribbean. If you saw Meet the Fockers, you get a lot of ideas from Dustin Hoffman & Barbra Striesand. Posters or flyers with something having to do with Wasted in Margaritaville. Serving maybe Margaritas from the Pitchers & if you have a copy of More Stoneware Senations on page 72, there is a recipe for a Cool Lime Colada Cake, just change it around to Limes & Oranges instead of Pineapple & Coconut, I hope these things helped. Also if you go to stores like Party City, they always have things on sale & maybe you'll come up with some ideas. Good luck, Ginger

Buffett ShowI have done two Margaritaville shows - I make the margaritas in the quik-stir pitcher (1 cup of tequila, 1 can frozen limeade, 1 corona, and 2 cans of sprite) and I make one or more of the following recipes: cheeseburger in paradise ring, sizzlin shrimp cakes, strawberry margarita squares. I encourage the hosts to invite folks to come in Hawaiian shirts, and play the music. There's a Jimmy Buffett trivia book you can get from amazon, and do trivia as you go along....
Another one of my hostesses is doing this as her repeat show in the summer by her pool - I can't wait!
Good Luck -

I put a salt shaker sticker somewhere in one of the catalogues. Whoever finds my "lost shaker of salt" wins a prize! And whoever wears the "loudest" Hawaiian shirt gets a prize as well. This has been a lot of fun. I make the quick-stir margaritas as well and get RAVE reviews. I also make the margarita pie, either as part of the demo or ahead of time. I tend to make the chicken enchilada ring as the main recipe.
