Dee I really like your golf idea!

All great ideas! The hubby and I had our first Halloween party last year and are planning one again this year. The only thing is, we both HATE party games. When I go to a party, I don't want to play party games...I want to socialize and eat and drink and just chill. Although I know that playing a game can count as socailization, it's not for me. It's funny and kind of interesting how different peoples ideas can be for what a good time at a party can be. We didn't do any party games last year and we had people stay pretty late. Although we do have a fire pit and had that going all night.

We have been doing Halloween parties now going on 11 years. We have two kegs, 500+ jell-o shots, food, alcohol, live music, costume contest and then we decorate our entire house inside and out. Each year we do a new theme and we build most of our props by hand. Our parties have been known to last from 8:00pm till 7:00am the next day. We take anywhere from 3-6 months building our sets and props. We keep our theme a secret with exception of the build crew and the band since they have to coordinate with space requirements and equipment setup.

Here is some pictures from the past parties and decorations.
