Toga Party Ideas

**How to Make a Toga** -- Take 4-5 yards of fabric (it doesn't have to be white...let your true personality shine through!) Wrap it 1.5 times around your waist. Throw the rest over your shoulder. Cinch the fabric at the waist if needed.

Photo Backdrop -- Having all your friends decked out in togas lends itself to some great (and usually hilarious) photos. Set up an area in your home for photos by creating a backdrop (this can be a sheet or metallic curtain, maybe with some ivy vines running up and down). Using a chair covered in gold fabric to act as a throne can be another great idea for a photo area. Add whatever props you might have on hand and keep the cameras rolling!

Greek Mythology Trivia -- Before your party, create some trivia questions about Greek mythology. Make game sheets and set them out by the food with small pencils. Let your guests circulate during the party to fill out their quiz sheets and see how much they know! At the end of the evening give an award (maybe a bottle of wine) to the person who answered the most questions.

Greek Games -- Make your home a mini Olympus by setting out some classic games in your yard. Play horseshoes or bocce, or maybe even volleyball for those daring enough to risk it in a toga!

Toga Party Ideas for Food and Drinks

• Make a Greek snack platter with cheese, bread, grapes, figs, and nuts

• Greek Salad -- lettuce, tomato, feta cheese,and olives with a vinaigrette dressing

• Ambrosia -- food of the gods-- in this case more of a marshmallow, jell-o salad

• Pig on a Spit -- If you're going all out, a roast pig with an apple in its mouth makes a great toga party food

• Wine served in jugs

• Kegs of Beer

• Water or Sparkling Grape Juice for those who don't drink alcohol
