Thread: What will your 2012 party theme be?

Tweet

We are doing a 1980s prom, but a 1980s ZOMBIE Prom. I already have the invites.Yes I know I am crazy it is only January but my party was cancelled last year due to a family surgery. So now that things are getting better I am so excited I cant stand it! YAAAAAAAAA Hallloween

I told my theme plague to the quests already and they are
all very excited. So I am happy. Am already sketching the life
size plague doctor prop in my head. And my friends their costumes.

Thanks everyone for some ideas! We had a very good friend pass away this past October of ALS at 51. This year I would love to have my party also be a benefit in his memory....2 years ago he came to our party as Superman (in his wheelchair with his trach.)...I have a great picture of him, and I also bought a superman costume at the end of the year to try to use somewhere?? His name was "Marc" know as Mr. Re-Marc-able. Anyone have any ideas for an invite?

In honor of the end of the world, I'm thinking of a "Happy No Year" celebration at the "Disco Apocalypse". It's just an idea.

Zombies, monster and witches o my! I cant decide.

I know what you mean. My husband passed away 2 months before the 2011 party we had planned for. It was a zombie theme. The invitations had a photo of our family on the front with the heading: Have you seen these people? They may be zombies in disguise".

The invitations were sent out. My daughter and I tried to go on, but we did cancel our party. It is so heartwarming how many of our friends and family have kept those invitations as momentos and remembrances.

I'm already planning for this year's party. It will be poignant, but my husband loved our annual parties.

Enough of my tale of woe. Life goes on.

So sorry to hear of your loss ThAnswr. I hope this year's party will be a celebration of your husband and your passion for Halloween, rather than time of mourning...

The plan as of now is a SAW party... idea is for the party to take place in Jigsaw's "workshop" with all the torture traps on display, almost like art work throughout the party venue. I already have round cocktail tables and was thinking of dressing them with white tableclothes and painting the signature red spiral from the billy puppet on the top of the tables. Also wanting to do some type of blackout at a certain point in the party and have a Jigsaw tape play... might mention a few friend's names in the tape. But... I have no experience with video splicing or editing! Yikes!

Thank you. Some of the best photos of my husband were taken at our Halloween parties. We have one picture of him in his "Jason" hockey mask sitting at the kitchen table.

Life goes on and a "Happy No Year" party is starting to take root.

BAAAAW! THE GASHLYCRUMB TINIES!!! I'm so thrilled I'm not the only one who remembers this!!

I have so enjoyed this thread. Loving everyone's ideas. Makes me so want to have a party but I really don't know enough people here. I travel back home to go to my best friends' party every year. It's the highlight of my year!
