Halloween party decorating ideas
Here is some Halloween party decorating ideas:1.Ghosts,inside with kleenex ,cotton ball, thread, marker,put cotton ball in center-wrap thread for a "neck",marker for eyes and mouth ,hang from the ceiling with thread.
2.Outside,white trash bags,crush newspapers (or anything) into a ball,do the same but use string,I whacked the bottoms off to look ragged,and hung them on the tree on small end branches,they were really cute dancing in the wind- the leaves fell and there they were- when the wind blew hard they streamed and looked like they were really flying%u2026
3.Use black licorice strings and form bat wings with a marshmallow body , paint with food coloring.same with big spiders%u2026.
4.Noticed Ace Hardware had small hay bales,you might check the paper for real bales.Pumpkin carving contest,use wierd tools or regular ones,everyone votes for winner%u2026 bobbing for apples is still fun!
5.Pick up some black lights - they will give an eerie effect. Make deviled eggs but do not slice them withwise but rather in the middle.

Invitations Tips
Make invitations ahead of time.
Halloween Party Invitations Tips:Write your party details on the back of a small pumpkin and draw a funny or scary face on the front. Drop them off at each guest's door, ring the bell (or knock), and run!
Buy (or make) the plain masks that only cover the eyes and nose. Attach them to a orange/black card with your party details. Ask your guests to decorate them and wear them to your party.
Design a newspaper ad or poster, with your party details on it. You can find numerous reviews and posters to draw inspiration from.
You definitely want your guests to come in costume. You can have a free for all or use on of these ideas:
Dress in styles specific to a certain ere-'40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, etc.
Come as your favorite monster.
Dress in pairs so each couple can match each other some way. This is great if you have an even number of guests. It is a great way to encourage mingling by mixing up and assigning random guests a part of a couple. For example: Spoon and Fork, Sonny and Cher, Milk and Cookies, Sun and Moon, Day and Night, Cat and Dog, etc.
Good Halloween Party Food Recipes

-EERIE EYEBALLS-Yields approximately 9 dozen bite-sized eyeballs
3 oz lemon gelatin (can be sugar-free)
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup pineapple juice
8 oz cream cheese (can be lowfat/Neufchatel)
1 cup mayonnaise (can be fat-free)
Dissolve lemon gelatin in 1 cup water in double boiler, add marshmallows and stir to melt. Remove from heat. Add pineapple juice and cream cheese. Beat until well blended. Cool slightly. Fold in mayo. If you have a truffle candy mold or round ice cube trays, pour the mixture in the molds and leave to set in the fridge. Otherwise pour into a deep ceramic dish and chill until thickened or firm enough for scooping into eyeballs. Using a melonballer, scoop full balls of the mixture and set aside for decoration. To decorate, use liquid food coloring and an old detail paintbrush and get creative. You will need black food coloring for the pupils. Also, if you are in a hurry, instead of painting the colored irises, you can carefully dip the ball in a small pool of food coloring to approximate the iris, but still paint on the pupils.
For 1999, I found rubber ice cube trays that worked beautifully with much less waste than the melonballer technique. I sprayed the rubber trays with non-stick cooking spray beforehand like you would any gelatin mold, let the gelatin mixture sit in the refrigerator to set, then I was able to carefully pop the eyeballs out to paint them. Some of the eyeballs did break, and they do have one flat side, but that actually works, since then they don't roll around while you are trying to paint them. Since 2001 I have found that Wilton truffle candy molds are even better, since the swirl design on the top is the right size for the cornea shape on the eyeball. When using the truffle molds, one recipe makes about 9 dozen eyeballs - plenty for a party crowd!
