Óur party is on the 29th as well. I have started doing a little bit of decorating inside as we can't do the outside until the day of the party. Just little things so far like changing out our normal pictures for creepy ones, changing centrepieces and runners for halloween ones.
Most of my menu can only be made the earliest the day beforehand and some on the day, I'm going to try to have everything decorated prior to party day so I can hopefully get my costume on before the guests arrive this year for a first!

Seeing everyone on here talking about their parties that have happened is making me wish ours would hurry up but I know I;m nowhere near ready yet!

I can't decorate until the day of the party as we are having the party at my brothers house as we are living with my parents until we get the keys for our new house which we have just found out we will be getting the keys on the 29th!!! Going to have a very busy weekend. I would usually start a couple of days before but my brother is not keen and I honestly haven't got the time. So I will have a full graveyard plus crypt to build up and all the house to decorate plus the food to do on the 29th and can't start early as planned now as we've got to pick the new house keys up and do the demonstration with the builder at 10 which will take about an hour great!!!!!

ours is the 29th also! I have done some decorating, but I run a daycare here at my home and can't decorate as much as I'd like, for fear of the kiddos getting to the decor and breaking/ruining it! uggh. But we have our prizes together, all TYF fates printed out, cut and stuffed into the balloons (will blow up on the 29th), have the menu finalized and printed all menu cards. We both took the 28th off so we can cook, and finish decorating on that day and not have those worries on the 29th. We are expecting 20-24 people.
Soooo excited! Cant' WAIT.

Mine is the 29th as well. I have startet preparing decorations for my theme, but im not decorating yet, as it involves me taking away lots of my everyday stuff and thats just to long to have them all stacked up in one room. I think i will start a few days in advance,

Less than two weeks

I feel for you guys who can't do anything until the day. That's what I did last year, practically nothing until the day of the party, and then grossly underestimated how much time I'd need! Hence why I'm starting early now.

Mine and My Girlfriend's party is on the 29th! This is our first one together so we are really excited. I'm going into full decorating mode this week! We have 21 confirmed so far and are expecting about 30 or so! This is my second one in as many years after taking a 5 year hiatus. Before that I did them for 7 years straight....I'm looking forward to getting back into it!

Yeah for parties on the 29th! Luckily I've been able to put up the bulk of my indoor decorations, with the exception of my "Dia De Los Muertos" themed office (hubby politely asked me to wait longer than last year before hanging two dozen glow in the dark skulls and crosses from his ceiling). I have a crazy work schedule this week with several large orders, a craft show and a charity event, but next weekend I'm home free and can spend the entire week getting ready! We're expecting 40 people or so, this is our 3rd Annual "Halloween Scream"

Mine is the 29th too! We have been putting up decor for a few weeks now only on the inside of the house. This weekend we will plan on what is going where outside. I feel like I started a little early because I feel a little burnt out ugh... we didnt do crap over the weekend and I know we should have. But oh well we will get it all done this weekend. Happy Halloween everyone!

I'm in the 29th club too. Haven't done any decorating at all, still kinda in planning mode. I did however, finally get the last of our boxes unpacked and our kitchen completely cleaned and reorganized this weekend. We moved into this apt 6 months ago but I'm a bit of a procrastinator Got a few more things left to organize/clean and then I plan on pulling down all the decorations from the attic on Tuesday. I'm excited for tonight though, doing my first major shopping trip for the party!

29th here too. There's really not much I need to do right now except for buying more items at the market and getting the booze. My house is already decorated (since late August LOL) I just need to add a few things like creepy cloth for curtains, cobwebs, my pvc candles and creepy portraits. My prize baskets are already done, games are all set & menu planned. Next week will be a different story. That's when I'll do all the cleaning, add the decoration finishing touches and start the baking. So exciting This month is going by so fast though. Kinda makes me sad!
