Tips on how to throw a Tiger's Curse party!

This post is for those fans who have been asking Colleen for ideas on how to host a Tiger's Series party!  So, depending on the age of your party, whether your Team Ren or Team Kishan, or what aspect of the book you'd like to celebrate (the tigers, the circus, the dragons, the village of Silvanae where the tree nymphs and fairies live, etc.)  the possibilities are endless!!! Let's start with some basic decorating ideas for Tiger's theme (Be sure to check out Colleen Houck's pinterest page where you can follow her "Tiger Party" board for lots of fun ideas.);



Colors- white, black, and grey. Perhaps a touch of cobalt blue or gold to match Ren and Kishan's eyes. ;-)



Location- Anywhere could work. One option is if you could set up outside, perhaps on a back yard patio or near a garden. I could just imagine a white table cloth with fragrant flower centerpieces (perhaps even lotus flowers floating in water) place cards in blue or gold (Team Ren or Team Kishan), it's night and white lights or lanterns have been set up creating a soft and inviting ambiance. If you have a water feature or a nature cd with the sound of a waterfall that could totally be a reminder of that waterfall scene we all love. :-)



Decorations- Really, the sky's the limit here. Anything from balloons and streamers to tiger pillows and stuffed animals to flowers and lanterns. I would recommend picking one focal point (Ren tiger, Kishan tiger, dragons, Kelsey, etc. ) and build off of it. Here are some pics to get your creative juices flowing;

Menu ideas could be a lot of fun as well. In my earlier post I talked about the Village of Silvanae from book 2, Tiger's Quest, and listed the delicious menu both Kelsey and Kishan delighted in. There are many meals Kelsey, Ren, and Kishan enjoyed at the hand of the golden fruit and that could be really fun and tasty! Then there's the famous chocolate peanut butter surprise cookies that Ren is head over heels for. You can find that recipe on Colleen Houck's pinterest page under "cookie corner" also. Again, the possibilities are endless!! 



I would love to hear about your Tiger's themed parties and your ideas too. If you have a party and want to share with other Tiger fans, please send me an email with pictures and I will post those for everyone to enjoy!
