This Holidays

We all remember how much fun Halloween used to be when we were all little kids. Staying up late, the endless candy and the awesome costumes. But recently I've discovered that Halloween is just as much fun for us adults when we get our friends together and throw a killer party. Here are some tips on how to make your next party horrifically memorable:

One- Costumes for all guests.

Make sure all your guests where a costume. When sending out invitations make sure you let them know that this is a costume party and costumes are required to enter. You might want to call some of your more conservative friends and personally persuade them to wear a cool costume. Despite your preemptive strike sometimes people have forgotten how to have fun. So make sure you have a couple extra Halloween props around so that you can lend them to your unimaginative friends. Once they see everybody else in costume they will not want to stick out. Some crazy hats, wigs and/or masks will ensure that everyone is playing their role.

Two- Be the host with the most.

As the host you want to set an example and have people talking about your outrageous costume. But this is important, make sure your outfit does not cover up your face (so no masks) since playing host means interacting with all your guests. Be creative, flamboyant and remember its much more fun when you are a bit risque. For killer costume ideas visit my blog.

Three- Fright house.

Setting the ambience is very important. Mood lighting is key. You want to have many small colored lamps. Try to create dim shadows all over when possible. Some good old Jack-O-Lanterns could make for great ambience. Just be careful how you illuminate them. A good fog machine can create an amazing effect for any room. And you can even rent these just for your party.

Have some creative cocktails to go along with your Halloween theme. And of course decorate your house accordingly. Spider webs and skeletons can go a long way. You can find some Halloween cocktail recipes at my blog. But most importantly remember to have fun. Halloween gives us adults a chance to role-play and lose ourselves in another character just like when we were kids.
