    I received the invite, and while the general theme and the planned thematic decor, food etc sounded like fun, I thought the Ice Queen/Mafia Man piece was distasteful/offensive/juvenile. seems you could have extended the theme through another means. (plenty of colorful russian characters in literature or film or history, rather than falling back on stereotypes—imagine if it were an Italian or Irish theme–wouldn’t be promoting Mafia Men or wandering dagos<—-see how i worked in a restaurant/food angle? :-) or Drunken Irish Cops)
    I'm in a "Now Get off my lawn" mood, I guess.

    Pretty sure there have been plenty of Mafia/Italian or Drunken Irish themed parties over the recent years.

    I have never eaten Russian food – what are some common dishes that folks enjoy?
