This month's issue of party possibilities celebrates Halloween by featuring an "Experimenting with Fun" children's party, which can easily be modified for grown-up guests.  To enhance your holiday celebration, I've added links to many seasonal recipes and decorations.  Enjoy and have a happy Halloween!

 

As always, thank you for reading my newsletter, sharing comments with me and forwarding it to your friends. I sincerely appreciate it and look forward to planning your next special event soon!

'Experimenting with Fun' Boo Bash
 
 Still contemplating Halloween party ideas?  Then consider this Boo Bash theme!  The guests enjoyed 'experimenting with fun' and I bet that yours will, too!

 The highlight of this annual Halloween party was Mad Science entertainment, a 35-minute show featuring bubbly potions, cool special effects and make-your-own glow-in-the-dark slime ... a big hit with all of the kids!

 

Other elements of this spooktacular party included an inflatable Haunted House and of course, refreshments:

  • Test tube specimens (filled with jelly beans)
  • Cupcake Surp-eyes
  • Petri Dishes with Green Jello and Gummy Worms
  • Radioactive Pretzel Rods
  • Pop Rocks
  • Beakers of Water, Juice and Soda
  • Fizzy Kool-Aids

 More inspirational details, including lots of photos, are available on my posh in a pinch blog.

Hosting an adult Halloween party?  Grown-ups will enjoy the Mad Science theme, too - with a few modifications:

  • Mail a Laboratory Specimen invitation.
  • Create ambiance with dark lighting and bubbling cauldrons (just add dry ice).
  • Greet guests wearing a white lab coat and Dr. E. Vil Genius Ph. D, M.A.D. name badge.
  • Serve snacks in test tubes, flasks and beakers.
  • Turn your bar into a lab, allowing guests to experiment and create their own poison!
