Don Draper, Joan Harris, and the other perfectly coiffed characters of Mad Men are set to return to the small screen on Sunday with the season six premiere of AMC's popular series. Apart from its enduring success with television audiences, the highly stylized show has been a source of continual inspiration for event planners, who have been bringing '60s entertaining staples such as deviled eggs and cigarette girls to events for the past several years. Whether you're planning a big '60s themed gala this spring or a last-minute viewing party this weekend, here are tips for infusing your event with Mad Men-style flair.
