My husband and I are having an halloween party...this year with a Wizard of Oz theme! We are SUPER excited, and I''m hoping to poll my wise PS friends for some (cheap!) suggestions...Yall always have such grand imaginations! I keep finding children''s birthday party ideas, but cutesy isn''t really what we''re going for...it''s an adult party! (Gosh, that sounds scandalous!)
So far, after thinking and polling some magazines and websites, and watching the new 70th edition that just came out (Yes, I''m starting to sound like a geek) some ideas that have come to mind are as follows... now, keep in mind that while all this sounds like I have a plan...it doesn''t seem to be materializing in my head, it''s just words on paper.
Music:
The Whiz
The Wizard of Oz
Wicked
The Dark Side of the Moon
Decorating:
Fashion Dorothy''s house from a large appliance box. Then, add witch''s legs with striped tights and place them under the house.
Poster board Munchkins, hidden around house
Lollipops
Cornstalks for scarecrow
Tornados
Coroner’s death certificate sign
Tree faces
Crystal ball
Wizard’s curtain
Balloon
Diploma
Medal
Heart
There’s no place like home sign
Gingham
Hourglass with red sand
Apples
Rainbows
Chalk yellow bricks on walkway up to the door
Door to emerald city: Front Door
Please knock sign: Front Door
Food/Drinks:
Munchkin Mix: Combine eight cups popcorn, three cups pretzel sticks, one cup M&Ms (for "Auntie M"), 1/2 cup animal cookies (especially lions, tigers, and bears — oh my!), and 1/4 cup green gumdrops (for emeralds). Serve in metal funnels (like the Tin Woodman''s hat). (Wish I could give credit to the website I found this on...but I forget).
Swirled rainbow lollipops
Monster of a Cake (pistachio chocolate)
Guacamole & dark chips
Caramel apples
Pumpernickel bread with cheese fondue
Black licorice straws
Crème de menthe brownies
Assorted Halloween Candy
Pumpkin seeds-spicy & sweet
Deviled eggs
Apple Cider
...Also...most importantly...what charachter should I be? I think Dorothy would be too cliche as the hostess, and my Mom is hopefully coming as the Wicked Witch (not because it fits her personality but because she does a spot-on impression)...and my husband who is 6'' and stocky is going to be a member of the lollipop guild (ahahahah).
