Halloween Party Ideas

Posted by steveurban in Untagged 

Calling all guys & ghouls!  With Halloween creeping up on us already, DPC would like to offer some fun tips this month for hosting your own spooktacular party!

 

Invitations - Get creative with your party invites! For example, think “inside the box” by placing a fake finger (available at any costume store) on a bed of cotton inside a small box.  Tie a black “reminder” ribbon around the finger and affix a label with the party details to the inside cover of the box.  This is sure to be an invitation your guests won’t forget!

 

Finger Food – Thrill your guests with creepy culinary concoctions!  Eyeball brownies are always a crowd pleaser…just bake your favorite store-bought brownies for 15 minutes, roll them into 1” balls once cooled, dip the balls in white chocolate, and decorate with gel frosting!  For even more ideas, visit www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/creepy-treats.  Also be sure to ask your local wine store about Halloween-themed varieties with creepy labels that are readily available this time of year.

 

Dress to Kill – Costumes are a must!  Keep a spare costume or two on stand-by for any guests who choose to show up “as themselves.”  Feel free to have a little fun with the costume choice for your party poopers!

GLORIOUS GREEN WEDDINGS!
Sharing your special day with those you love can become even more memorable if your plans also show love for the environment! There are many ways to create the eco-friendly wedding of your dreams. Here are a few ideas from our... fabulous wedding planners:

Green Guru – Find a wedding planner that shares your love of the environment and knows how to throw an Earth-friendly fete!


Location, Location – Choose an outdoor location with natural beauty or let your planner help find you a “green” hotel or resort


Blue Skies – Hold a daytime event, which reduces the need for extra lighting and uses less electricity


Au Natural – Get creative with décor that encompasses natural fibers, locally-grown flowers, and rented reusable centerpiece containers. You can even donate perishable décor to a local charity or elderly care center. For our Central and South Florida brides, check out http://www.thespeciale.com. Special E is special indeed…this “green” business rescues leftovers from events to recycle or reuse them in ways that help the planet and people in need.


Nifty Gifty – Give your guests favors like tree saplings or donations in their name to an eco-friendly charity


Come One, Come All – Use 100% recycled paper invitations and be sure to send all other info such as Save the Dates and pertinent wedding information electronically

With all of this in mind, you are sure to have a glorious green wedding!
