Plan Your Oprah Show Finale Party

Best Friend Party

Oprah's best friend, Gayle King, has stood by her through it all—and is even The Oprah Show's most frequent guest. Send the husband and the kids out for the evening and use The Oprah Show's farewell episode as a good excuse to have a little one-on-one time with the person who's always had your back. 

The Guest List 
Just you and your bestie. 

The Décor 
Walk down memory lane. Decorate the room with some of your favorite pictures of you and your best friend.

The Menu 
Break bread—literally—with recipes that honor America's favorite BFF, Gayle King, and her infamous food tours.

• Gayle's sandwich search recipes
• No-fuss cheeseburgers 
• Top 10 cake recipes
• Easy Margherita Pizza
• Art Smith's Easy Monkey Bread recipe
  

The Activities 
We know how much Oprah and Gayle love Miraval Spa—so why not create a spa of your own! Set up a manicure and pedicure station, hire a masseuse, give yourselves the pampering you deserve.

The Parting Gift 
Take a moment before the party to create a cherished keepsake for one another:

• Create a scrapbook for one another
• Write each other a letter about how much your friendship means
