Hello, honorary citizen of Stars Hollow.
If you're like me, you have been dreaming about a "Gilmore Girls" revival since the day the original show ended. Well, the time has come to return to our favorite tiny town for some more love triangles, fast talking, and of course plenty of coffee.
In order to properly honor Lorelai and Rory, the patron saints of caffeine, we have come up with a few tips to help you binge watch like a true Gilmore.
1. Decor
Getting the cozy feeling of the Gilmore home can be easily accomplished by having you and all of your guests pile on your couch, but if you want to go the extra mile, here are some cute detailed touches that any true fan would love. First, hang some vintage Stars Hollow prints from Etsy (if your guests don't understand the references, please ask them to leave). Next, make sure everyone labels their coffee and/or wine glasses with cute themed glass charm. As an homage to the proud collection curated by Rory and Lorelai, make sure your guests only eat their Pop-Tarts off of Charlie's Angels plates. Finally, make sure that all caffeine is consumed via Gilmore worthy mugs that rest comfortably on coasters from Luke's!
2. Food
There are a few ways to respect one of the Gilmore's favorite pastimes. Of course, no Gilmore gathering could proceed without a lifetime supply of Pop-Tarts. Now add some doughnuts. Now add popcorn. Tacos are always welcome. Maybe a pizza? No, five pizzas. Bring some of Luke's pancakes. Rory would want Twinkies. Another perfect option is recreating the food delivery party Lorelai threw for Rory when she first arrived at Yale. On second thought, combine all of these options; besides, leftovers are the best.
3. Drinks
If you don't know what to drink at a "Gilmore Girls" watch party, you should not be having a "Gilmore Girls" watch party. There should be coffee. There should be an endless amount of coffee. For those of you who don't love the Gilmore drink of choice (which is crazy), I'm sure Lorelai and Rory will be fine with the consumption of red wine or Coke.
4. Dress
Grab your comfiest sweats and your skinny scarves (if you can find someone who still sells skinny scarves). The Gilmore girls believe in comfort, so let's honor them by wearing a "Coffee. Pizza. Gilmore Girls." sweatshirt, shall we? Or, try to blend in as a real Stars Hollow resident with this small town sweater. My personal favorite is this baseball-tee that let's the world know you are forever an "honorary Gilmore".
So, whether you are team Jess, Dean, or Logan, and no matter what side of the "Emily Gilmore in jeans" debate you're on, steal your family's Netflix password and begin your binge like a true Gilmore.
