Top 5 Halloween Party Themes

If you are planning on throwing a Halloween party this year, you will want it to be a complete hit with all of your attendees. Further, you will want to pick a popular theme that people will enjoy getting creative with! Each year, there are some Halloween themes that shine above the rest, and make for seriously memorable events. Be sure your party is a bash to remember with one of these great ideas! Go all out and plan your invitations, menu, drinks, decorations, and activities all around your favorite theme.

1. Alice in Wonderland

Cardboard Halloween Decorations

With the craze of the recent Tim Burton movie, this already popular theme has skyrocketed even higher. Twisted colors and unusually shaped objects, black lights, and a mad hatter cake are a must for this party. Ask all of your guests to attend in classic Wonderland attire, and even go so far as to divvy up allegiance to the red and white queens. Decorate with painted roses, giant mushrooms and flowers, and be sure to have tasty treats that read "Eat Me!" and "Drink Me!" The possibilities with this theme are endless and the inspiration is abundant.

2. Nintendo

Kids love to be a part of this party theme! Don't let yourself get caught thinking it is too limited, as the variety of options is as wide as any party theme with over two decades worth of video games to draw from. If you love Mario and Luigi, give it a twist and dress up as Bee Mario or Fire Luigi. There are countless outfit changes our classic heroes have gone through over the various games that you could choose from-not to mention all the other characters! Decorate your home with cardboard pipes painted green, make mushroom cupcakes, and decorate your walls with blue skies, white puffy clouds, and question and punch blocks!

3. Twilight

Werewolves versus vampires! This theme is so popular that if you are a fan of the popular books and movies you have probably already attended or planned a Twilight themed party. Ask guests to show up as their favorite clan, serve red punch and bite-sized steaks. Offer a golden body shimmer to anyone who feels the need to spruce up their costume a bit, and most importantly keep the lighting dim!

4. Cartoon Characters

Another great theme for kid parties, ask your guests to come dressed as a character from their favorite cartoon series. While your kids will go wild over Spongebob, you can dress up as a classic cartoon from your childhood (like the Smurfs). Decorate your house with your family's theme or else bits and pieces from all different cartoons. You could even offer themed stations of activities, like going bobbing for barnacles with Spongebob, solving riddles with Scooby Doo, or painting rainbows with the Carebears. Serve a variety of colors of punch and fluffy marshmallow candies along with the rest of your treats.

5. Couples

A traditional Halloween theme is always a loved one as well. Decorating with skeletons, bats, spiders, and gravestones can never go wrong. To put an extra fun twist on your classic party theme, ask your guests to dress in theme with whoever they attend with. Couples can go crazy dressing up as Frankenstein and his Bride or Gomez and Morticia Addams. Their costumes don't have to be restricted to spooky characters, though! You will delight in seeing the variety of aliens, robots, historical figures, and funny creations that arrive at your door.

A South African Christmas

A South African Christmas is not your traditional white and snow-filled affair. Instead of snowmen, we're more accustomed to Summer rains along the East Coast and sweltering heat waves inland.

Cardboard Halloween Decorations

But, don't let that deter you from fostering a festive spirit. Quality time with friends and family, great feasts and decorations to make your eyes twinkle, Christmas is a precious time of the year.

Cardboard Halloween Decorations

Celebrating Christmas is a celebration of the joys of life. Just as Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus, it is also the start of the celebration of each new year.

Festive decor and Christmas crackers are just some of the ways to foster a festive spirit in your home and around the dinner table. With presents wrapped in shiny paper, a tree adorned with decorations and family and friends at play, indulge your desires for a beautiful dining experience, and enhance your feast with decorations.

Christmas crackers are a time-honoured decoration. They are made of a cardboard tube, wrapped in crinkly or sparkly paper. Within the tube, an anecdote or joke is printed on a small piece of paper, and a surprise treat or trinket. They often have silly Christmas hats within them too.

Traditionally, Christmas crackers are cracked just before the Christmas feast. With a loud pop, the cracker bursts to reveal its contents. Children love the little trinkets or gifts found inside, and almost everyone has fond memories of keeping the small gifts next to their plate during Christmas dinner.

Christmas in South Africa isn't the snowy and cold time that Northern Hemisphere experiences. It's bright, colourful and warm. So, take your lead from the summertime around you, and decorate your table with Christmas crackers in a fun way.

Five Cheap or Free Halloween Costumes You Can Make in Minutes

Dressing up for Halloween is something most children (and many adults) look forward to all year. If you head to the store to buy your costume, it can get expensive quickly. By applying a little imagination, it's possible to save piles of money putting together a great Halloween costume with things you may already have at home. In this article, I'm going to share five ideas for cheap or free costumes you can put together yourself in under an hour.

Cardboard Halloween Decorations

1. The Candy Bar - Halloween is all about candy, so why not dress as your favorite candy bar? All you have to do is grab the art supplies and draw or paint the wrapper design on two large piece of cardboard. Attach some arm straps and you're all set. Optionally, you can add some brown pants and a top to be extra chocolicious.

2. The Graduate - If you've still got your cap and gown gathering dust in the closet, break it out. Wrap a rolled up sheet of drawing paper in the cord from your curtains and you're good to go. If this is an idea you or your child like but you don't have a cap and gown, many thrift stores have them for a few bucks and they've only been worn once!

3. FBI Agent - All this takes is combining dark clothing with sunglasses and a wallet where you can stash a homemade FBI ID to flash whenever possible. Hair should be slicked or tied back to be extra intimidating. Bonus points if you can add a blazer and tie.

4. Cowboy/Cowgirl - Have a cowboy hat laying around the house? Grab that and add a flannel shirt and some jeans and you're done. Cowboy boots add some extra kick, but if you don't have them or don't have time to run to the thrift store for a pair, just tell people you're an urban cowboy. For a variant on this, stick a star on your chest (cut one out of paper) and make yourself sheriff.

5. Chalk Body Outline - Dress head-to-toe in black (include gloves and a black stocking cap if you want to be completely authentic). Outline your entire body with masking tape. If someone asks you what you are, lie down and show them. This costume can be extra-funny if you go out on Halloween with someone dressed as an FBI agent.

Most people have things in their home that, with a little imagination, can make Halloween a lot easier on the pocketbook. These are five ideas to illustrate that you don't have to pull out your wallet to have fun on Halloween. Sometimes saving money is just a matter of looking at what you already have and thinking of new ways to use it.

Tips for Planning an "Egg-stra" Special Easter Party

Bunnies & chicks, colourful eggs, and the hunt for hidden chocolate. It's no wonder kids await the arrival of Easter with such eager anticipation. While many families have their own private rituals to celebrate this springtime holiday, this year consider throwing an Easter party for friends and family. Wondering how? Just follow these tips for foolproof egg hunts, crafts and races to entertain your guests, and tasty treats to entice your tireless hunters to the table. This party plan is sure to please.

Cardboard Halloween Decorations

The Hunt

Cardboard Halloween Decorations

The egg hunt is the highlight of most Easter parties. However, how do you ensure even the smallest hunters get their fair share of the eggs? Here are some time-tested tips:

o Put the participants' names on the eggs in advance, and/or assign a colour to each child, if using plastic eggs.

o Assign different search areas based on age. Smaller children's eggs might be in plain view, while others are harder to find.

Looking to add a twist? Here are some variations on the traditional hunt:

o Instead of chocolate eggs, use jellybeans to add difficulty.

o Use hollow plastic eggs, each with a small treat such as a candy, temporary tattoo, a few coins, or even a clue to a larger prize.

o Working alone or in teams, each solves clues leading to other clues, and eventually to the Easter treats. Have different clue trails for each child or team.

o Have the kids hide the eggs and make the parents look for them

Activities

Keep the excitement going after the hunt by trying out some of these games:

o Egg Bowling. Using colored hard-boiled eggs and one white, roll the white one onto the lawn or rug, and see who can roll their coloured egg the closest.

o An "Egg-citing" Obstacle Course. A variation of the egg & spoon race, teams navigate their way around and through various obstacles without dropping their eggs. If an egg drops off your spoon, you can start again, or do an agreed upon penalty, such as five jumping jacks or singing a silly song.

o Egg Roll. Using only their noses, people must roll an egg across the finish line, five to ten feet away. This also makes a good relay.

Food

By now, your little guests will no doubt be ready for a snack. In addition to any other delicious treats you plan, let them decorate an Easter Basket Cupcake. Here's how:

You'll need:

o cupcakes (one per person, but a few extra are a good idea)

o your favourite homemade or prepared frosting

o shredded coconut (preferably green or yellow)

o colourful jellybeans

o pipe cleaners (one per cupcake)

o plastic knives

Using a plastic knife, have the kids frost the top of their cupcakes. Next sprinkle coconut around the outside edges of the cupcake, leaving the middle clear. Then, place several jellybeans in the middle. Finally, bend pipe cleaners into U-shapes, and poke the ends into the cupcakes to form basket's handles. Enjoy!

Easter Egg Art

Then, with only a few inexpensive craft supplies from the store or around your house, give a twist on the traditional colouring of eggs with these ideas:

o Marbleized Eggs. Add 1-tablespoon of vegetable oil to your egg dye. Lightly stir and immediately dip your egg into the liquid and remove. Let dry and repeat the process with another colour for interesting effects.

o Egg Animals. Go beyond dipping and dyeing by creating colourful critters out of your eggs. Use craft supplies to create pipe cleaners legs and horns, pom-pom noses, paper ears, googlie-eyes, feathers and more. Markers also work well. White glue or a low-temperature glue gun works well with some supervision. Themes might include barnyard animals, creatures from outer space, or even family members. Have a contest and take lots of pictures.

o Eggshell Mosaics. Need a use for those cracked or broken coloured eggs from your relays? Break up the eggshells into pieces that are small enough to lie flat, but not so small they are hard to handle. Sort into piles by colour. On a thin piece of cardboard, draw a simple design with a dark pen or marker. Spread a thin coat of white glue onto part of the design, and fill it in with eggshell pieces. Continue until the design is complete. Try not to cover up your outline. Let it dry overnight and enjoy.

Whether you decide to entertain just your family, your friends, or invite the entire neighbourhood, everyone is sure to enjoy themselves at your "egg-stra" special Easter party.
