Last Friday night FabSugar and I hosted a Sex and the City Marathon. From the tasty snacks and colorful cocktails — inspired by episodes from the show — to the competitive trivia game and outrageous outfits, the party was fabulous, fun, and a total success.

Come Party With Me: Sex and the City Marathon — The Look

Fab's new — single and fabulous — apartment will set the scene of our Sex and the City marathon. Since this is a housewarming party for her, the decor will be her natural living space with clean, crisp, and minimal accents. Our color scheme is black and white with splashes of hot pink.

Start by covering the table in a fabulous zebra print runner. Serve the food on artistically shaped white serving platters. Stack the linen napkins next to the small square appetizer plates so guests can fill them up with tasty nibbles. For an elegant presentation of cupcakes, use a tiered serving platter. Pour the cosmos into classic martini glasses. Light pillar candles and place in simple, but chic hurricane holders. Arrange hot pink blooms in vases. Throw plush, black pillows on the couch and chairs for easy lounging.

Without Sex and the City, the Cosmopolitan would not be the wildly popular cocktail it is today. Created in the early 80s, the drink became well known because Carrie frequently ordered the rosy-hued concoction. At the Sex and the City marathon that Fab and I are hosting, we'll definitely be pouring Cosmopolitans.

We'll also have tons of pink champagne and sparkling water on hand. To see the cosmo recipe, we'll use,

To celebrate her new apartment, Fab and I are hosting a Sex and the City marathon. The entire menu is inspired by scenes from the show. Carrie and the gals are often seen enjoying cupcakes, so we'll serve mini ones. The cupcakes will be chocolate since Miranda ate chocolate cake from her garbage can.

Another Miranda scene inspires the second dessert, a chocolate chip cookie cake. To take a look at these sweet recipes,

Fab and I are so excited for the premiere of the Sex and the City movie that we are hosting a SATC marathon! The party will be in Fab's new apartment, so it's also a housewarming. Since food is featured frequently in SATC, I'll be serving heavy appetizers inspired by episodes of the show. Carrie liked to go out partying while Aidan preferred staying in and eating fried chicken. Miranda asked Charlotte if her hoo-ha would like some French fries. After her book party, Carrie stops to eat a hot dog with her cab driver. Miranda orders Chinese so frequently the Shanghai Garden knows her order. And Samantha experiences raw food with Smith.

Keeping all that in mind, offer guests a smörgåsbord of delicious bites. Chicken fingers with French fries and spicy ketchup, mini-hot dogs and maple mustard, crab salad in crisp wontons, and raw tacos in lettuce cups. For these delicious recipes,
