Let the Ghoul Times Roll

Let the Ghoul Times Roll

Glow-in-the-dark halloween party? Yes! and these glowing halloween party ideas are all you need to throw the spookiest, most delightful party ever!

It’s a tricky balance you have to strike when throwing a halloween party with just the right amount of spook for the very young.  Black lights and glowing dishes (food too!) provide the level of scariness that can make a party fun, but not have your younger guests racing back to the minivans! This Mardi Gras inspired Halloween party styled by Nicole Willis at Tikkido.com brings on all the fun without the scare.

Now they glow!

Did you know that with a very easy trick even your food can glow? It’s as simple as a dissolved vitamin B tablet in your mix.  Full details and how-tos can be found at Festivities magazine.

Glow in the Dark Halloween Party Favors

Homemade play dough is so easy to make the kids could successfully help out. Helping, in any way they can, ramps up the anticipation of the party SO much for kids.  It makes it more meaningful and memorable to them as time passes as well. It takes some extra time and a few dropped bowls, but in the end it’s really worth it.  A detailed tutorial to making this glowing play dough can be found here at Festivities Magazine.

Happy Haunting!
