'LOST' Series Finale Event Party Ideas

One benefit of watching a show with a huge following such as ABC's LOST is the high likelihood that friends and family are also following the series. With the epic seriesfinale event schedule for Sunday, May 23^rd at 7/6c on ABC, fans all over the world are planning memorable ways to celebrate-and mourn-the conclusion of a show which has captivated audiences since the premiere. LOST, which has always pushed the envelope by having shocking cast-away deaths, complicated plots and countless mysterious, has become one of the most popular TV shows of the decade.

Why not celebrate the end of the era by gathering your closest and dearest fellow LOST fans for a Series Finale Event Party? The following event ideas incorporate elements of the TV show, while providing additional activities for a "Farewell to LOST" party:

LOST Series Finale Party Attire - Encourage your guests to come in their best "distressed beach wear," such as tattered sandals, faded T-shirts and jeans. Bonus points for anyone who takes the time to apply faux injuries, or whose outfit looks especially plane-crash evident. For an additional challenge, consider assigning guests to a specific LOST cast-away; someone portrays Kate, another comes as Jack, with everyone hoping their favorite character doesn't meet an untimely end. You could even offer a prize-or bragging rights-for the best dressed cast-away.

LOST Series Finale Party Snacks - Consider sugar cookies in the shape of the Dharma symbols (see an example here), or edible seashells and tropical fruit, such as mangos and bananas. Cupcakes topped with crushed graham cracker can resemble a sandy beach-add pieces of toy planes for extra effect; a wing here, the tail section on that cupcake there, and so forth. Topical cocktails are also highly appropriate, especially those with an aqua or ocean-blue hue, or those with a mini beach umbrella.

LOST Series Finale Party Games - "Survivor Bingo" is one option; print-out Bingo sheets from one of countless websites, then randomly assign cast-away names to the squares. As the LOST series finale event airs, mark off characters as they die-first with five in a row wins! Alternatively, you could host a LOST lottery, with raffle tickets and a grand prize of LOST paraphernalia, such as the DVD sets, T-shirts from the ABC LOST store, or one of the limited edition Cast Photos available now for $69.99 here-while the price tag is a bit steep for many LOST fans, a pool of raffle ticket purchases could ensure that someone goes home with an awesome LOST keepsake!
