Invitation

The theme of my party is night on the red carpet. I choose this theme firstly because the airing of the original Frost/Nixon interviews had somewhat of a movie debut like feel. Although people were originally skeptical of David Frost's ability to be successful in questioning Nixon, the interviews proved to be a huge success. Another reason I choose this theme was because of David Frost's career in television, the red carpet was surely a normal place for him as an amicable, well liked tv host. I choose the date May 19th because that was the day the Frost/Nixon interviews debuted. The attire is black tie, cocktail because it is more formal and dressy which you typically associate with the red carpet. The party is being held at the Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C because that is where the burglars were first caught. I choose this invitation design because I thought it looked classy but still fun with the pops of gold, which reflects the red carpet theme.  Although the theme itself doesn't directly reflect the Watergate scandal, it more so reflects the people involved with the interviews. I would also have "interviewers" on the red carpet to not only resemble that of an actual red carpet event but to also mimic the actual Frost/Nixon interviews. 

Invite List:

1) Richard Nixon: I would invite Richard Nixon because he was the primary focus of my movie. Because he is so largely associated with the Watergate scandal it is imperative that he be at the party.

2) David Frost: I would invite David Frost because he is the person who created the Frost/Nixon interviews so it is only fair to have him at the party. Because he was a large tv personality he would be right in his element at a red carpet themed party.

3) John Birt: I would invite John Birt because he was a big contributor to the interviews ability to happen. I also think it would be interesting to give him the ability to really interact with Nixon because Frost was the primary communicator during the time of the interviews. 

4) Bob Zelnick: I would invite Bob Zelnick because similarly to John Birt he also would be interesting to watch interact with Nixon. However, Bob's interactions would be different with Nixon because he has studied Nixon for a long time and even published books on him. 

5) Pat Nixon: I would invite Pat Nixon (Richard Nixon's wife) primarily because I think it is important that Richard Nixon have someone who has always been there to support him there so he doesn't feel completely surrounded by people who have tried to interrogate him.

6) Abraham Lincoln: I would invite Abraham Lincoln because he has always been known for his honesty and I think it would be interesting to see how he would interact with Richard Nixon who has been known for lying and being secretive about his affairs. I also think it would be interesting for Lincoln to see the evolution of America as a whole but also to discuss the modern political events and movements of today.

7) Ron Howard: I would invite Ron Howard because he is the director of Frost/Nixon. It is important to have him at the party because he should get to socialize with the people he had to learn so much about in order to create a relatively historically accurate film.

8) Michael Sheen: I would invite Michael Sheen because he played David Frost in Frost/Nixon. He should be invited because I think it would be interesting to see how he interacts the people that he "knows" because of his role in the fim, but doesn't actually know.
