Rob and I had so much fun hosting our friends for Halloween last year we decided to do so again. After the trick-or-treaters made their way around our neighborhood we opened our doors to a great group of friends for some Halloween fun.
The decor....spiderwebs, bones, cauldrons, and my favorite - floating ceiling candles that I made from toilet paper rolls and tea lights strung on fishing line.
The Treats...
The Costume Contest...Funniest (Hawaiian Punch), Most Creative (Rock, Paper, Scissors), and Dynamic Duo (Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote). These are so much fun to make and incredibly affordable. Just a few skeletons from the Dollar Store, a coat of gold spray paint, some hot glue to pose them, a few fun props and whala! - custom trophies!
The costumes...Rob and I decided to go with something "pop" culture this year and landed on the idea of Share A Coke cans. After a trip to the fabric store, hunting down a few hula hoops, and a little help from a local screen printer, we were pleased to bring our personalized cans to life!
Charlie Brown and Snoopy (with my future nephew in tow!)
Fall - very fitting for the Halloween season
Hawaiian Punch....so clever!
Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote....I mean, seriously?? This homemade costume deserves a round of applause!
Rock, Paper, Scissors - so perfect for a group of three!
Now if only we could all remember the clever ideas we come up with throughout the year but swear we will remember the next time October comes around. I'm going to have to write my ideas down throughout the year so I can compete with the incredibly creative ideas my friends come up with!
Happy Halloween!
