For all of my Hobbit Party planning posts and resources, please visit our Hobbit Party page! This year was our eleventh annual celebration, so things have grown quite a bit over the years. I’m sharing these photos and resources in hopes that you may be inspired to host a Hobbit party of your own, however large or small! :)
Uncover Morgoth's Secret Identity… Fulfill Your Unbreakable Oaths… Maybe do a Little Kinslaying Along the Way?
It’s been a few years since I perfected my recipe for Lembas, waybread of the Elves. While some recipes remain more minimal, I felt anything elvish would have a very distinct floral or herbal flavor and so I chose to incorporate citrus and lavender into mine. My little hobbits have grown to love these and look forward to them every year, which has been such a joy to see…
This design is inspired by the Doors of Durin, located at the western entrance of Moria. Built in the Second Age, these doors serve as a reminder of the friendship which was one strong between Dwarves and Elves. Tolkien himself provided an illustrated of these doors, which can be found below.
The great tale of the voyage of Eärendil is a common thread which unites nearly all of Tolkien’s legendarium, so it felt appropriate to use as a starting point for designing party goods for a The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit (or even The Silmarillion) inspired party. Below are four free party-planning resources that I’m happy to share: two editable Canva templates, and two free digital downloads. I hope you enjoy them!
Happy Hobbit Day! Our tenth annual Hobbit Party was this past weekend and it was such a gift to spend so much time with our good friends. I’m so thankful to everyone who made the journey to celebrate with us, and for everyone who helped out while they were here. I couldn’t have done it without you all — and I wouldn’t have wanted to, either. Here’s to many more Hobbit Parties in the years to come.
Hey, friends! Today I’m sharing a tutorial for creating your own ‘Hobbit Party’ invitations. I’m really happy with how this year’s invites turned out and I hope you’ll be inspired by these to create your own! This year’s invitation was inspired by Bilbo’s contract from the Dwarves in The Hobbit, and our RSVP card ‘contract’ is my favorite thing about it.
As our family’s annual Hobbit Party is just a few months away, I’ve been sitting down to plan out what I want this year’s celebration to look and feel like. I’ve just finished designing our invitations, although I want to keep those a surprise until our guests have received them!
However, I do want to share the printable menu I’ve just put together. Now that we’re on our tenth year (!!!!!) I really feel like we’ve gotten our usual menu settled and it’s easy to know what I’ll make. I’m sure there will be a few variations but here’s what I’m planning.
Friday’s dinner included: “Yavanna’s Garden Salad” (similar to this recipe), a meat and cheese board, pumpkin muffins, dinner rolls + honey butter, “man flesh” (beef jerky), Lembas, mini shepherd’s pies, stuffed mushrooms, and an autumnal veggie soup (not pictured). And cake!
While this year’s Hobbit Party may have been a bit different than in years passed, it was truly the highlight of our whole year. I’m so thankful for the friends who were able to visit throughout our party weekend, especially those who helped me pull everything together and keep everything running smoothly!
This little hobbit party game was inspired by Bilbo Baggins’ famous question from Riddles in the Dark: “What have I got in my pocket?” Of course, while this was not a true riddle and Bilbo certainly hadn’t meant it to be one, it won the game for him and he escaped with Gollum’s ring. For this fun little game, participants will take turns choosing a “pocket” box — whoever finds the pocket containing Gollum’s ring first wins!
I wanted to share some photos from our Hobbit Party this past September. Better late than never, right? This was our first year hosting our Hobbit Party at our new house, and it turned out quite well! I’m so grateful to the friends who came over, several of them driving in from out of town, to spend the evening with us. I cannot wait until next year!
