lmao That's hysterical!! Too funny. Last year that bathroom was the spider's den. This year, all I was planning to do in the tub was to put this big hairy spider, with light up red eyes in there. I like the pet idea; I think I'll call him Fluffy. I could put a collar on him and a name tag shaped in a cauldron or witch's hat. But what should the plague say? Maybe Fluffy should be a she and I could add some spider sacs. She's huge, she'll take up half the tub. I don't want to add a spider victim, well maybe just a bloody hand or foot for food but how should I stage it so she's a pet? The overtone I'm using in this bath isn't exactly scary or gory but more whimsical.

Hahaha those nickers make me laugh! If you put a collar and leash on the spider, I think everyone will get the idea that it's a pet. Maybe have a water bowl / food dish nearby (put the hand or foot in it) and paint 'Fluffy' on the bowl lol.

I think I found my punch recipe, (you didn't really think we were drinking tea, did ya):

equal parts vanilla vodka and sour apple schnapps
4 parts lemon lime soda
garnish with apple slices; punch a hole in the apple and insert a gummy worm.

How easy is that?! I'll serve it in a cauldron (I really wish Pottery Barn was still selling their cauldron punch bowl), and place it on my antique dresser/sideboard. Then add a tarnished copper bucket with Rikki's poisoned apples, (only I think I'll use green apples):

put this in a black frame, maybe glue some creepy vines on it

I'm not going to mess around with dry ice for only 10 people but I have a skull fogger I could place there too.

Tannasgach, this made me laugh out loud!!!

All your ideas look and sound fabulous, your guests will have a wonderful time. It really is fun to have a gathering of just females. We always have great fun at the Witches Wingding.

I love those apples! I was graced with one through Pay it Forward thanks to Atelier*Motives. They're so awesome!

 

[MissMandy]

The poison apple idea is great!

 

[Tannasgach]

The poison apple idea is great!

That's Rikki's idea; she had a witch's party last year and came up with many wonderful ideas:

Rikki, if you see this post, did you use acrylic gloss to paint the apples?

 

[Tannasgach]

Thank you MHooch! You, Rikki, and Pandora are my inspiration for wanting to have a witches party. It just looks like so much darn fun!

 

[Si-cotik]

I wish I had friends....this sounds like so much fun!!!

(well of course you guys are my friends but none of you live near me )

 

[Tannasgach]

Awww, Si-cotik, I'll be your friend.

Or did you mean friends who like Halloween? My friends all get that glazed over look in their eyes when I start talking about Halloween. They're willing to come to a party, but trying to get them to dress up... good lawd, you should hear the complaints!! I tell them, "No costume; you can't come to my party." or "If you show up without a costume, I will dress you." So they begrudgingly do it but jeez, you have to force people to have fun. They're those nasty people who stay home on Halloween night with their lights out.

That's why the witches party is perfect, "wear something black, buy a witch hat and you're in!"

 

[Si-cotik]

thanks tanna....I really meant that lived near me....but im always so very happy to get friend requests!!! thank you so much!!

 

[kittyvibe]

I wish I had enough friends to do something like this. Im pretty much a loner here in FL. Most of my friends are dudes anyway, lol.

I have not been here in months. Life has just been in the way. Today, I stopped in a local thrift store and they had a small rack of Halloween costumes and I giggled all the way through the store! Then I came here and found this post!

I had my first Be WITCHY party last year and it was a blast. We had planned to have our annual Boo Bash also, but we all got sick and I cancelled it.

I think that I just might use the tea party idea this year for the Be WITCHY party. I love tea parties and tea pots and I have a fantastic little witches teapot that Spookilicious sent me in a Pay it Forward thing back in the winter. It will be the focal piece!!!!!!

I bought some cheap witches boots or shoes felt goodie bags last year from Terry's Village that I used for treat bags they were pretty cool.

This year I will be also having a few select teens attend. I am raising my 13 year old and she wants to have a few of her friends attend. I wanted them to have their own party, but she is not sure if they would come. So we are expanding to include them. We had several younger witches come with their grandmom and step-mom next year and it was cute. So, we will just spread out. I might set up a tea room separate for them.

I love this idea. And the dollar tree nail items sound great. I am headed there tomorrow. Whoot! Whoot!

I was also in Goodwill today and laughed at all the black bras and the long bustieeers (sp?) with the fancy black lace. i think I will go back and pick up a couple for the witches laundry!

Love, love, love you ladies...er witches.

 

[printersdevil]

Oh yeah, I makes this thing called Texas Caviar that is made with black-eyed peas as the base that would also be good with the pita chips and look great. (or my hominy salad that I often let erupt out of the mouth of a JOL.

Tell 'em to come dressed in drag . . . .

 

[Tannasgach]

Now that would be funny! A bunch of guys dressed in drag as witches!

That's a really nice idea to include your daughter and her friends. I also encourage my teen to invite her friends to any large party we're having. They always seem to group together and then find their own space away from the adults, so a separate table or room for them would be perfect. Perhaps you could give the girls a craft project to do.
