my girlfriend and i do a halloween party as our one "big deal" hosting event of the year, and this will be our fourth year doing it.
first year was kinda a dud because we didn't plan far enough in advance, but the last couple of years have been pretty solid--somewhere around 20-30 people, which is about all we can really accommodate in her house. everybody who comes seems to really enjoy it and we get comments on it for awhile after.
we invest a lot of time in planning, but compared to a lot of people here, i'd say we're casual hosts. as i said, we top out around 25 guests, our decorations are well done but i suppose somewhat minimal, and we don't spend a ton on the party--probably spend more on food than any other aspect.
with that said...
i'm interested in doing some sort of theme this year if anyone has any good suggestions for a "soft" theme--that is, we can focus our decorations and food in a certain direction, but we won't require much (if anything) of our guests other than showing up and hopefully dressing up, like always.
anybody got any good ideas?
