Have you started thinking about Halloween yet? We’re in the midst of planning a big Halloween bash for our grandchildren. Halloween parties are a bit of a tradition for us.
We celebrated Halloween with a party just about every year when our kids were growing up. At this 1983 party we played games like this one in the barnyard. The kids would dig through a bale of straw hunting for nickels, dimes, quarters and an occasional silver dollar. We always had a pinata with loads of candy and toys.
Now years later our grandchildren are hosting Halloween parties. We no longer have the barnyard where they can hunt for surprises, but this donut eating race was a lot of fun. That’s our eldest grandson dressed as Batman!
At this 2007 Halloween party we had an apple bobbing contest. Boys against the girls. Guess which team won this go round! I honestly think the kids are bobbing for the apples in the same bucket that the previous generation bobbed in!
Today we spent time with our grandkids planning this year’s upcoming party. We decided on costumes, discussed the food, games and most importantly we chose the invitations. First impressions are essential. It’s exciting to ‘Wow!’ people with awesome invitations. We think we’ve done just that with this invitation from Pear Tree Greetings. Their selection of Halloween Party Invitations is awesome!
The Bat Eyes Beware – Scary Halloween Party Invitation is perfect for our party. It sets the mood for a wicked good party yet isn’t too scary. There’s plenty of room to include all the pertinent information (sample above). It’s clear that the event is a Halloween Party – the day, date and time, address (even directions can be included), the party host – the RSVP date – and we included two RSVP phone numbers on ours.
Pear Tree Halloween Invitations are personalized to your very own specifications. The website is user friendly and the invitation YOU design is large and easy to see while your working on it. There are a variety of styles including tombstones, coffins, witches, ghost, candy corn and even an eyeball!! There are also plenty of choices that would suit an adult party as well. The Spooky Woods, Chandelier Web (my favorite) or Halloween Night Scene invitations are making me want to add a party on the calendar for us adult spooks! Check out the Halloween Party Invitations at Pear Tree Greetings.
