Thread: Anyone else having their party THIS WEEKEND (10/8)?!

Tweet

My party is this Saturday night (10/8)! Ahhhhhh! The butterflies have officially begun to flutter in the pit of my stomach. Anyone else out there crazy enough to do their party this early in October? If so, are you ready?

YES! I am one of the crazies to have her party this weekend (the 8th). We're almost ready, just one big prop we've been working on a little at a time over the last 2 months that needs to be finished. The only reason we decided to make our party this early in the month is because this year, 3 out of the 4 people in my family are in a wedding out of state on the 23rd (of course we're making it a long family vacation too.) This would bring us back into NY the Friday before Halloween. Well, that's just not enough time to get a party set up! Next year though, it's the end of the month for the party like we always do! At least the leaves will be changed in time for the party next year!

Yeah, it still feels like summer here in Colorado - not very "halloweenie" but oh well, what can you do?

I keep telling myself to calm down, I have pretty much everything ready. Just have to clean the house and prepare the food and drinks. Decorating, games, costume...everything is ready! Take a deep breath and party on! Good luck with your party! I'm sure it will be a hit.

Sometimes I think it's nice to do a party earlier in the month. Gets everyone really in the Halloween mood and kind of starts the season for some people (that aren't as into it as we are )

Relax everything will be fine! The one thing I learned that if you forgot something no one will know except you! Have a great time and I am so missing not having a party this year.

We also engage in the early October party madness! We used to do the party the Saturday before Halloween, but there were often scheduling confilcts, especially with people that have kids. We now do our party on the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend. Our 14th Annual Boo Bash will be a Haunted Luau and Beach Party this year.

I am getting the usual concerns that I won't be ready, but somehow it all comes together.

I agree! I really enjoy doing the party in the begining of the month. More people are available to attend, and it frees up the rest of the month for us to enjoy all the spooky activities usually offered during the month of October. This year I signed up for a total of five ghost hunts at local haunted spots in our area! All of them take place at the end of the month, long after I throw what will hopefully be our most successful halloween party to date! Thanks for the encouraging words!

Good luck with all of your parties this weekend! I'm sure they're going to be great Don't forget to take lots of pix!

So excited for you guys!!! WE know your parties will be fun!!! yes post pics!

Thanks Miss Mandy and BewitchingHalloween! The excitement is definitely building. Just spoke to one of my guests who is frantically searching town for a "plastic butt" for her costume - funny how the hilarity of this has got me even more excited for the party now!
