A new season of a favorite show is a great excuse for a party. And by party, I might just mean me on the couch in my PJs with a fun theme cocktail. If you want to kick it up a notch for the new season of the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, I’ve got you covered! The visual wonderland of fashion, color, and nostalgic comestibles has inspired so many fun theme nights in our house, so I thought I’d put everything I’ve done over the last few years (and more!) into one printable guide. Need some simple Marvelous Mrs Maisel party ideas? I’ve got you covered! You can pick one idea or more from the Free Printable Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Party Guide.

How I Created the Backdrop
This was such a fun and easy project! I purchased a roll of 4 foot wide pink craft paper and starburst decals on Amazon. Using blue painters tape, I attached it to the wall at the top. I also used a few bits of transparent tape on the back to adhere the sides.
Then, I just got creative. I didn’t use a specific pattern for laying out the stars, I just went with my gut and had fun. I was cognizant of the height of my head, so I could get a few bigger starbursts near my face. In about an hour, I was done and now I have a fun new photo backdrop that will be a cinch to take down whenever I get tired of it.
