Halloween

[swissmiss]

I am helping my daughter throw a halloween/surprise 40th birthday party, and I need some fun, and imaginative food, & decorating ideas to really wow our guests, and our guest of honour. What's the best costume idea you have ever seen?

I always LOVE using dry ice! At Hobby Lobby you can buy black kettles... Buy some dry ice, add water...BAMO creepy fog!
Black lights

I wore the 'Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Showers' and was a big hit. Next time I won't use cotton balls since they were a MESS. I'll cut clouds out of white paper and glue them on.

Black Widow Martini

1 oz absolute Citron Vodka
1 oz Opal Nera Black Sambuca
Pour into shaker with ice and strain into chilled martini glass. Instead of an olive float the plastic black spiders.

A Halloween party needs pumpkin seeds and you can flavor them all sorts of ways.

When I looked at this, I was thinking costume and wondering why there were so many directions for cutting up a sheet....roflmao. I think this is adorable.

Halloween is my favorite holiday too. The first year I moved here, I bought 10# of candy and didn't get one trick or treater. Then I found out that kids aren't allowed to go out here. They have private parties at youth centers and churches.

One year we went to a costume party as a fire hydrant and a dog... guess who was the hydrant...we won first place tho.

I once went to a party as a coal fire. Black shoes and stockings and a flame red dress.
