Downton Abbey is back my friends. The Season 3 Premiere airs this Sunday, January 6th on PBS at 8:00 pm! I'm so excited, I can barely stand it. I decided this event calls for a party with some of my closest friends... we'll have yummy food and celebrate the return of this lovely couple to the screen:
Speaking of yummy... {Am I the only one smitten by Matthew's boyish good looks & English charm?}
In honor of this occasion, I have created a special invitation {in case you want to throw your own viewing party!}
What a wonderful excuse to dress up, drink tea, and snack on some delicious treats! {okay, so I probably won't be dressing up, and I'll most likely serve hot chocolate, but there will be lots of food involved!}
Here are some more Downton goodies I found:
{There are 4 versions... the Dowager Countess, Matthew & Mary, Thomas & O'Brien, and Sybill. They are hilarious and would make fun party favors!}
And if you enjoy cooking, I've heard wonderful things about this book:
One party planner had her guests create a shirt with a favorite Downton quote, and wear it to the party! I think this is a fabulous idea. If you don't have time for shirts, print out your favorite quotes and make them into coasters :) Here is a link to some of the best quotes from Seasons 1 & 2:
I hope these ideas inspire you to get your girlfriends together this weekend for some Downton watching...
{If you have a party, I'd love to hear the details!}

We love linking to these parties!
How fun! If I knew you in real life I would totally invite myself to your party!
ReplyDeleteCute stuff! I have watched the entire season already but I had better be invited if you have a party!
ReplyDeleteI have got to get up to speed on this one...so many of my friends are completely hooked!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI just have to tell you what a BEAUTIFUL blog you have. The design is gorgeous! Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteOh you guys are so cute and funny! I love Downton Abby and have been watching it since it started. I am so addicted! I also think Matthew is so HANDSOME! Love his personality on the show, he is a real sweetie.
ReplyDeleteLove your website. I love all things crafts. :) Thank you for making me smile.
Holy Cow, what a good idea! Those little Downton cookies are scary, though. Yikes! The paper dolls are to die for.
ReplyDeleteIt is officially because of you guys that I am now hooked on Downton Abbey!!! THANK YOU! :) I think I have been told to check the show out about 10 times... why it takes a cute blog post to push me over the edge.... well I don't know why! But yayy! I am on episode 5 of the first season and I don't think I will get anything much done this weekend since I will be doing so much watching! :) Thanks again girls!
ReplyDeleteHugs and Happy Weekend!!

Bahahah! Love the paper doll (: I've already watched season 3 but I heard a horrible dirty rumor about the beginning of season 4 killing off a main character and am and am dreading it! But, have fun on the 6th- you will love the premiere episode! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHOW FUN!!! Great minds definitely think alike. Love everything featured here...the paperdolls are HILARIOUS!! Have a wonderful evening watching! Thanks bunches for stopping by! ;)

Love all your ideas! My friends and I had such a hard time finding Downton party ideas when we were planning ours a few months ago. Thanks for linking to our idea of the t-shirts! Made me smile when I saw this post on pinterest and then found my blog linked to. :) Now I want to have another Downton party and use all these great ideas you have here.
ReplyDeleteI started watching the show last week and love it so far! I chose not to watch tonight because I'm not even on the second season. I can't wait to see what happens! :)
ReplyDeleteNice work ladies, love the Dowager Countess "emotion set".
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I'm such a fan of this program & I love these ideas. Have you tried ordering the cookies or do you know if anyone in our area makes them?? I'm so inspired & would love to have a get-together of my own!
ReplyDeleteWarmly, Michelle
Awesome! I'm Duchess Jane Blake.
ReplyDeleteCome on. Thats rad.
Last year I would have been Duchess Jane Cinnamon.
That's a little too prostitute for me.
