Party Wednesday: Last Minute Halloween Party



            So you waited until the last possible second to throw a Halloween party.  You have less than a day to throw something together to make this a decent party.  I have included quick decorating, food, and costume ideas for you to do in a few hours.  But let’s face the facts, you are just going to sit around and watch scary films, drink beer, and hand out candy to trick-or-treaters.


Décor

                        We have to keep this quick so run down to the store (target, Wal-Mart, some place) and buy up all the spider webbing/cobwebs you can find.  Also buy cheese cloth, black table cloth, black construction paper, black paint, and a lot of pumpkins.
            When you get home, string up the spider cobwebs all around your house, place the table cloth on the table (duh) and down the middle of the table make a runner out of the cheese cloth.  If you have extra cheese cloth you can hang them around your house as well.

            With the pumpkins if you don’t have time to carve them out you can always paint faces on them or paint them entirely black.  It is also good to have pumpkins ranging in different sizes so you can stack them on top of each other for a center piece.

            Have a lamp shade, well with that construction paper you can cut out and tape on bats, cats, what ever scares you on to your lamp shade.
            Now you yourself need to be in costume, but what do you wear?  Well if you have an expansive closet and some imagination you can figure something out.  If not then here are some easy quick examples that will help you for 2013:
The Bum

Sexy Ghost

Miley Cyrus

Zombie


Food
            Pizza Mummies

Spider Dip

Erie Empanadas

Crispy Candy Corn

            This is just for the last minute blog… I mean last minute Halloween party.  Chances are you and your buddies are going to sit around and drink so why not look like you put some effort into your house for them.  Like always I would love to hear from you if you have any suggestions on what I should do for the next Party Wednesday; or have pics you would like to share just send them my way.  See you Friday for some ranting or whatever. 

See you on the other side
