Goodies for an Outlander Premiere Party

You'd be amazed at the number of Outlander party collections available for your clan gathering. From plain (but historically authentic) Fraser tartan through to phrases beloved to all Outlander fans, the set may be found.

Moreover, there are elements to suit any pocket. You can mix and match, collect apiece or choose only one thing to include in your fabulous Outlander event.

Like this lot, included in my thumbnail for this article.

I'm a writer, not an artist, hence I haven't exactly arranged all of those items to scale. But you get the general idea of what's out there for your Outlander do.

Each one of these Outlander event sets have a core thirty products.  There may be more to reward those with the will to hunt further.

I'll only present one item from individual collections, but know that every product is available in all of the other designs highlighted here.  Merely find your preferred artwork and, from the product it adorns, continue on into the wider set.

For now, we'll begin where most parties do - with the alcohol and the Outlandish ways in which you and your guests might imbibe it.

You'll be hard pushed to know whether to display the Fraser Tartan Outlander stein as an ornament, or fill it with beer and shout slàinte mhòr* as you guzzle to a beat of the Skye Boat Song.

It's available in two colors - the grey and blue depicted above or a fabulously classy white and gold. Personally, I think the latter is the loveliest, though each to their own here!

I love the frosted beer mugs!  Though they are vaunted for ale, they are equally able to hold hot beverages too.  Party with your beer, then give it a wash and use it for your morning coffee too. It's fine in your dishwasher, if you want to nap for the interim.

I've begun here with plates which may be more appropriate for dinner parties than a less formal gathering of the clans.  In fact, most people get them as gifts to hang on the wall rather than part of a proper luncheon set.

From left to right, you have:

• Je Suis Prest Party Set 4 modelling a Melamine 10" plate. Non-toxic, dishwasher safe, break resistant, but you can't put it in the microwave. Frankly, for that price, it would be on my wall.
• Fraser Tartan Party Set upon a porcelain 8.5" diameter plate. This comes complete with little holes on the back to wall mount it more easily.
• Fraser Crest Party Set 3 porcelain 10.75" diameter plate. Same holes; food, microwave and dishwater safe, but ridiculously expensive. The kind of crockery you only break out if Sam Heughan Himself is coming to lunch.

For most parties, we're probably looking at the paper varieties below.

Do you see that Outlander party paper plate 4?  You are looking at the most popular item in the whole of the collections amassed.  Right now, that's what loads of your fellow fans are opting to have delivered to their homes.

Personally, I would have thought designs like the Je Suis Prest one would have topped the charts, which just goes to prove that I have no taste.  Or nobody else has found that one and its ilk yet.

Obviously with the paper plates, you're not just getting one. They come in packs of eight apiece. Perfect for a small get together of Outlander friends there to watch the show over munchies and a wee dram.

From left to right, you're looking at:

• Je Suis Prest Party Set 2 on an ecru paper Outlander cocktail napkin;
• Fraser Crest Party Set 4 on a white paper Outlander luncheon napkin;
• Fraser Crest party Set 2 on an ecru paper Outlander luncheon napkin.

All very pretty - and arriving in quantities of fifty per pack - but still very disposable.

There are going to be a lot of Starz Outlander premier parties, as the series pans out and every book gets dramatized. You might prefer napkins that you can wash and use again.  The cloth versions might be more expensive, but you don't have to chuck them away and replace them after every get together.

I guess that I should have placed the tablecloth at the beginning, considering that all else lies upon it, but I figured that this was an item for serious Outlander party host(esse)s only.  Most of us will make do with our laps or whatever is already in the airing cupboard.

Again there is a tablecloth available for every party collection for Outlander fans already explored. Enjoy your party and don't forget my invitation!

Coming soon - food for your Outlander premiere party!
