Adult Costumes, Drinks and Entertainment - Three Ingredients to a Monster Mash Bash

A dash of a few fab adult costumes, a splash of cool refreshments and heaping helpings of good friends - With just these simple ingredients, you can throw an amazing Halloween bash in no time at all. Here are several spooktacular solutions for making your party the envy of the block . . .

1. Adult Costumes

The Classic Costume

A spooky ghoul or a timeless fairy, these classic adult costumes never go out of style. Classic costumes are perfect for office parties or when wearing something overtly revealing might be inappropriate. You do not have to be sexy to stand out. Use your imagination and put your own spin on your costume. For instance, add a crown to your bumblebee costume and you instantly have a “Queen Bee.”

The Sexy Costume

Some get-ups really put the “adult” in adult costume! Sexy witches, black cats, Playboy bunnies, naughty nurses . . . these are not your grandma’s costumes! Halloween is the one night per year that we grownups really let our hair down. So why not live that one night to the fullest! The most important rule about choosing the perfect adult costume? Wear what makes you comfortable. If you aren’t comfortable enough to wear a risqué outfit to the party - don’t . . . just save it until the company leaves!

2. Dreadfully Delightful Drinks

Monster Eye Martinis

A monster eye martini is nothing more than your average martini with olive. However, placing them beside a cauldron and tacking up a faux recipe makes them instantly magical. By staining a piece of paper with a teabag, you’ll get an “old document” effect. Let dry and then write out in fine tip marker:

Monster Eye Martinis

1-cup swamp water

Two teaspoons troll toenails

One dash of warty toad

One monster eyeball

Give Me a Hand Punch

Fill a few clean latex gloves with water and a few drops of your choice food coloring. You can also put a few large plastic spiders inside for extra flare. Tie the end off like a balloon and place inside the freezer. This will need to be done overnight, so make sure to allow ample time for freezing. When ready to use, cut the rubber glove away and drop into your punch bowl.

3. Entertainment

Transylvania Tunes

Music is a must. Halloween CDs can be picked up at any party store. Mix new hits with old favorites like “The Purple People Eater.” They are sure to keep your “undead” guests alive and ready to party all night long.

Monster Kissing Booth

A monster-kissing booth is a perfect festive addition to any party. Let guests take turns being the kisser and the kiss-e.

Now you have it all . . . Fab adult costumes, refreshments, music and good friends - oh, and one hauntingly perfect host. Mix well and your party is certain to be a “graveyard smash.”
