Décor
Your options are almost limitless
here. You can choose to set up your space to resemble:
Fran Drescher's beautiful Malibu
beachside home
The Sheffield's elegant NY upper East Side
brownstone
If you're hosting a sleepover,
decorate your room to resemble Fran's bedroom
A New York beauty salon (where
Fran Fine got her "roots")
A Queens, NY bridal salon where Ms. Fine was fired before stumbling into her
position as "The Nanny."
Sylvia Fine's (Fran's mom) home
complete with leather,
leopard prints and plastic slipcovers.
Create centerpieces from shopping
bags and hat boxes from some of your area's best "Fran-style" shopping haunts
(Saks, Lord & Taylor, Barneys, Bloomingdales, etc.) Stuff the bags with real
merchandise or
leopard-print, hot pink or bright red
tissue paper.
Wherever the party is set, just
make sure you have your television(s) tuned to
Lifetime TV for
“ THE NANNY REUNION:A NOSH TO REMEMBER”, on
December 6th at 8PM/7C.
Refreshments
What's a "Nanny Nosh" without deli
food! Here are some ideas to make your spread a "Nosh to Remember."
Mini knishes
Mini bagels topped with lox
(smoked salmon), cream cheese, sliced onions and capers
Deli sandwiches on rye (pastrami,
corned beef, Reubens, and so on)
Kosher pickles
New York style potato salad
Creamy cold slaw
Fran Drescher is serving a full
dinner to her guests so you might want to consider something a little more
upscale or traditional ethnic dinner cuisine (chicken soup (with or without
matzo balls), beef brisket and gravy, potato pancakes or latkes, green beans, or
other favorites). In fact, you can find Fran's salad recipe right on the
http://www.lifetimetv.com.
Beverages can be anything from
bubbly pink champagne, to a frothy Pink Lady, to deli delectables (cream soda or
a NY Eggcream (chocolate syrup, selzer or club soda and a splash of milk).
Or how about a bottle of the finest "whine?"
Dessert can include something as
decadent as chocolate-dipped strawberries or slices of creamy NY style
cheesecake.
And whatever you serve, be sure to
put it on
silver plates or platters. After all, the
Sheffields always showed sterling good taste.
If you can, hire or convince a
gentlemen to serve your guests dressed in full butler regalia as the Sheffield's
uptight and terribly funny British butler, Niles, to make the evening even more
fun and fabulous.

Entertainment
Host a look-alike contest and
award prizes for the best dressed guests.
As guests arrive and before the
show, you have to play Fran's favorite (and ours) Barbra Streisand CDs and
Broadway show tunes--Make it Cats or Tommy--the one's Mr. Sheffield let get
away!
Tape a bunch of re-runs of The
Nanny (check your local listings for the time the shows air on Lifetime
Television or visit
http://www.lifetimetv.com) to play for your
guests before the reunion special starts.
Have guests do their best Fran
Drescher laugh impression for prizes.
Take instant photos of guests in
their "Nanny" attire and put into
specially-sized photo frames
