How to Say Goodbye to Mad Men? Why With a Smarty-Pants Viewing Party, Of Course

11 ideas to impress your superfan friends.
AMC

Mad Men returns for its final episodes on Sunday, April 5, capping one of the most acclaimed series in television history. With Don, Peggy, Joan, and the rest of the gang poised to ride off into the sunset (or the 1970s, as the case may be), you're running out of time to plan your second-half-of-Season-7 premiere party—so you'd better pull out all the stops.

Anybody can turn on the TV, mix up some martinis, and enforce an era-appropriate dress code of skinny ties, plaid jackets, and A-line dresses. But for the true Mad Men superfan, the right conversation pieces can also show off the depth of your series knowledge and give your party that flawless, mythical 1960s housewife touch. Spoilers (but absolutely no fedoras) may follow.
