Best Tips For Halloween Parties On A Budget

Posted by Lisa in Free Halloween Ecards, Halloween Party Ideas

Alright, so Halloween is on its way (Friday, October 31, 2008 to be exact), you want to have the best Halloween party imaginable, and you’re broke as heck. It happens. Not all of us can afford those fancy Halloween robotic zombies, actors resembling horror film characters, trap doors, mazes, and crazy special effects.

But it’s ok! There is plenty you can do to throw a Halloween party on a budget if you put your mind to it!  We will provide you with the best tips for throwing Hallowing Parties on a budget.

Adult Halloween Parties

1. Alcohol. No party is completely without plenty and plenty of alcohol. Check those little coupon advertisements the grocery stores send out. They usually have a sale on Halloween booze, especially as we get closer to the big goolish holiday.
2. Halloween decorations and Trinckets.  A great place to find good deals is wholesale places, such as Costco and Sam’s Club. Now, these places require a membership to shop, but ask your friends and family, as someone is bound to be a member. These are great places for buying in bulk (which you need to do if you want to have a real party!).
3. Halloween Music.  Because it’s Halloween, a lot of people find it necessary to play one of those “Halloween Sounds” CD’s… mmmmmm, not sure if that’s the best idea.  First of all, no one can dance to scary sounds. It just makes the entire party situation bland and uncomfortable.  So pull out some Michael Jackson and dance the night away with Thriller!  What ever you decide to go with make sure you play it loud!
4. Themes. Try to keep it simple but effective. A crazy haunted house theme would be a little too much for a party. People will be dancing, falling over, and throwing up on your fake monsters. No one wants to deal with that, and on top of everything else, it’s EXPENSIVE!
5. Setting. A few black lights scattered around the area people will be in, mixed with a strobe light or two, should about do it. Keep everyone in costume, including yourself, kill all the normal boring bright lights, crank the music up, and let the alcohol flow. This will make the party memorable and fun, and you will still be able to keep some cash in your pocket.
6. People.  Last but not least, you need people. I mean, how do you expect to throw a huge Halloween party without people? So, start of by simply telling everyone about it. Tell friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, the cute cashier at the grocery store, and the homeless guy down the street. Tell everyone!  You can send Halloween Invites by sending them free Halloween Ecards.  Email these Ecards to everyone in your address book, and even post bulletins on Myspace! God knows I’ve done it a million times.  You can even do Naughty Halloween Ecards too!  It won’t cost you a dime.

Of course, when everyone shows up, don’t forget to charge $5-$10 at the door. This will make you back everything you’ve spent (if not more), allow you to have an great Halloween party, and help pay for some aspirin when you wake up in the morning.

3 Things You Must Do For Halloween

Posted by Lisa in halloween costume ideas, Halloween Party Ideas, Things To Do On Halloween

So Halloween is upon us, and you have absolutely no idea how to celebrate it, short of walking around in a mask and grabbing free goodies from strangers.

That’s alright, not everyone is perfect.

First thing first, you need a Halloween costume. Everyone likes a good costume, so don’t skimp on this. You don’t skimp on beer for St. Patty’s day, don’t skimp on costumes for Halloween!

There are the classics, like Frankenstein, Werewolves, Freddy or Jason, zombies, aliens, nurses/doctors, school boys/girls, maids, etc.  But, it never hurts to go to the creative side and be a little extreme. The whole point of Halloween costumes is to make a statement, see who can stand out more, see who can go all out with a unique idea.

A few things that haven’t been over-played that push the envelope of “acceptable” would be costumes in the form of human anatomy or sex toys; infamous “bad” historical figures (Hitler? Saddam? Bin Laden?), or even a priest and a child (“priest” can be replaced with Michael Jackson).

Point is, you need a Halloween costume and we’re giving you Halloween costume ideas!

After you get yourself a costume, you need Halloween decorations. Decorate your house to look as creepy as possible. Most people go with the regular jack-o-lanterns, some fake cobwebs, maybe a zombie figure or head here and there. (Note: I like to paint my jack-o-lanterns black with some spray paint after they’ve been carved.)  You should do better. Dress a friend up as a zombie, and don’t be shy with the makeup! Do something unique, like make a fake stomach underneath a big shirt and make the stomach look like a gaping morbid wound, and then fill it with candy.

Go all out, and be sure to scare everyone!

Then, last but not least, you need a Halloween party! Once the night dies down, and the children head back home, be sure to have all your friends over for a goolish Halloween party! Keep the costumes, dye all of the mixed drinks blood red, and enjoy Halloween!

Top 10 Halloween Costumes From your Closet

Posted by Lisa in halloween costumes

Halloween is coming up and we are in an economic crisis! Your friends are throwing a Halloween party and you will need a Halloween costume. Being pinched for money doesn’t have to mean you have to have a poor Halloween costume. It’s time to get creative and dive into your closet.

Your closet is one of the best places to get a custom, hit Halloween costume. Here is a top 10 list of the best costumes you can put together by simply walking over to your closet and putting things together.

1. The Old Ghost Costume: Grab an old white sheet, cut out some eyes and throw it over yourself. Make sure it’s short enough so that you don’t. If you want to get fancy, make a slit for the mouth J
2. Clown: Here you want to find some clothes that are too large. Decorate by using either fabric paint, or markers. For those who dare try tie-die, Halloween is the best time to use it. Tack on a cheap wig, hat, and make-up. You may also stuff the extra space in clothing with tissue. However this could be messy!
3. Scarecrow: Over sized flannel shirt, faded blue jeans with patches, rope for belt and to tie at the cuffs of his jeans and sleeves, stuff the shirt and jeans with plastic grocery, or paper, a little bit of straw to hang out of jeans and shirt. Add a little bit of make-up.
4. The American tourist: For the guys out there: Start with a loud Hawaii shirt, shorts, and a large straw hat. For the girls: bright loud dress, flats, big sun hat, straw bag. Don’t forget to have a camera, and maps hanging out, of every pocket and purse. Look of being lost can add to the effect. Guys can use a tourist bag.
5. 1960s Hippy: This one is hard, after all its all back in style! What is real, and what is costume? Tie die clothing, long wig (in the old days we called a “fall”, sandals, headband, anything with fringe on it (vests, purse, etc.) light colored sun glasses.
6. Old man: Dark paints (cuffed), and jacket, most any dress shirt, men’s flannel hat, walking cane. Gray the hair, with any of the commercial temporary colors, or dust with a little flour.
7. Old woman: Old style dress, just below knee, knee-hi stockings rolled down a little, oxfords, large black purse.
8. A real nerd. Slick back the hair, grab some paints that are too short, white shirt, white socks, penny loafers, or lace up oxfords, pocket protector, with lots of pens, dark rim glasses (don’t forget to tape the corner, or at least paper clip it) briefcase, or backpack for treat bag.
9. Japanese Doll: My daughter won with this costume! Her face was painted white, she had red rosy cheeeks all shaped in a circle, Hair in buns, thoung slippers, and a kimono(chinese dress)
10. Miss. America: Use an old bridesmaid dress or an old formal dance dress, add a pair of gloves, a tiara, some oversized jewelry, and heals. For the banner, a piece of wide ribbon, and write “Miss. America” in glitter.

These are just some of the cheapest, yet creative ways to start planning your halloween costume this Friday, October, 31, 2008. Also, for great Halloween ecards to send to all your friends absolutely FREE, visit our Free Halloween Ecards website.
