Halloween?!

[MrsPotatohead]

So my friend and I are going to co-host a party (my first time ever!) and I'm just wondering what you all are doing this year and if you have suggestions for what makes a good Halloween party (besides the drinks ).

I also need to come up with a costume and would like to take advantage of my current (and short-lived) blondeness...

Lots of fun decorations and spooky foods

This introvert enjoys lots of Halloween music, and some Halloween movies played on a TV somewhere (Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas, being my favorites).

When I was blonde, I was Sookie Stackhouse from True Blood. I wore shorts and a white t-shirt, and I printed out a Merlotte's logo, and pinned it on. It was one of the easiest costumes ever. Do you have a favorite blonde TV/Movie character?

good ideas!

I am totally drawing a blank, which is crazy because I feel like usually all I can think of are blonde people and I've always thought "I don't look enough like that person". I should really think about shows H and I like, more likely he'd agree to do a couple's costume

I think we are being Mario and Luigi. You could do Mario and Princess Peach

I can't tell you. I only ever hosted 1 and we did a great job of themed decorations (We did F*ed up Fairytales) and had great food. Everyone was party hopping that night and apparently all hopped to our party at the same time and hopped out at the same time. So the party was great..for 1 hour and then was really depressing

I told Jennlin the other day that I hate Halloween and she looked at me and pointed out it's my favorite holiday. I said that's why I hate it...I always wanted so much from it and it always ended up a bust that now it just makes me super sad.

Those are some huge images. Sorry!

ugh, I'm sorry I have always felt the same way though - it seems like a great idea in theory, but tends to be really disappointing. This is my first go at it, so we'll see what happens...

I hide from drunk adults on Halloween. I prefer cute kids with a bedtime and my sanity. I realize this makes me about 80 in most peoples eyes.

MiMi is going as Piglet. Her costume is so cute. MiMi got invited to a infant Halloween party, hosted by our church group.

You need prizes for a costume contest too!

Tell people it's happening. Gather around the people who want to participate at a certain time and then winner is picked by applause?

lol I like the idea of having a costume contest, I just always feel it's awkward when it comes to actually deciding

we do have a really great theme and other activities planned already, I'm excited
