There is nothing I like better than personalized holiday decorations!  I think they are simply adorable and add the perfect touch to any home.  Having your last name on a ghostly welcome mat at your front door is a great way to welcome all the little trick or treaters in your neighborhood.

HalloweenExpress.com now has personalized Halloween items on their website and to tell you the truth I just spent about an hour checking out everything from welcome mats and candy bowls to trick or treat bags and apparel.   I think I want one of everything!

One of my favorite items that the kids love as well are the personalized trick or treat bags.  It makes it so much easier with their names on them so that we don’t have any fighting over who took who’s bag by mistake.  When it comes to their Halloween candy it’s amazing how children know exactly what candy is in there!  Now if I would ask my son what he did in school today, he wouldn’t have a clue, but ask him what kind of candy he has left in his Halloween bag he can tell you piece by piece!  It’s amazing isn’t it?!

Children love personalized Halloween clothing as well.  Each year my kids have a Halloween party at school and they’re allowed to be out of uniform that day.  Instead of costumes they want the children to wear something that falls in line with the Halloween theme.  That’s where the personalized sweatshirts come in handy.  With “too cute to spook” or “pumpkin princess” written across the front they’re perfect for any child.

So this year don’t forget your personalized Halloween decorations!  It’s the perfect way to add that little extra something to your home and/or yard.

Make Your Party A Big Hit With Halloween Wine!

No adult Halloween party is complete without costumes, appetizers and plenty of adult beverages.  This year the trendy party drink is  Halloween Wine!  Everyone loves wine so why not include it in your holiday festivities?

Red wine couldn’t be any more appropriate for a Halloween party because of its color.  Seeing Dracula walking around with a goblet of blood (aka Cabernet Sauvignon) adds an aura of creepiness to the partys atmosphere. 

Halloween Wine with names like “Bone Dry Red” complete with a black and white skeleton on the label and ”Ghostly White” with a label of hands reaching up from the dead are the perfect beverages for your Halloween party!

So this year in keeping with the Halloween theme serve your guests Bone Dry Cabernet or Ghostly White Sweet or Chardonnay!  Believe me, your guests will be dying for it…

Amazing Yard Haunts!

October isn’t just a month for Halloween costumes, but Halloween decorations as well.  It used to be you would carve a pumpkin and put it out on your porch for Halloween night, but not anymore! 

Decorating your yard for Halloween has become hugely popular over the years.  Yard haunts, haunted driveways, creepy culdesacs – no matter what you call it decorating your yard for this holiday is the way to go! 

You can make your yard into a spooky graveyard or evil cemetary in a matter of hours and it’s so much fun to do.  We do it every year and the neighbors have now got into the Halloween spirit and have begun to spook their yards up as well. 

Two of the most important things you’ll need to put the finishing special effects on any yard haunt is a fog machine and good scary Halloween music.  Nothing says bloodcurdling, spine-chilling and frightening more than a haze of fog floating along the ground over your makeshift front yard cemetary all the while eerie music playing in the background. 

So this year, don’t just decorate the inside of your house for Halloween, decorate the outside as well!

Aloha Graduation Party!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and enjoyed the un-official start of summer!  My kids are finishing up their last week of school and then it’s summer break for them.  This week is pretty simple with just turning in books and helping to clean up their classroom and school.   I’m sure the older kids in high school aren’t enjoying this last week quite as much since they have to contend with end of the year exams. 

With June and July being big months for graduation parties, many parents are looking for ways to make their teenagers party memorable.  The best way to do that is by creating a “theme” for your party.  Here are some ideas:

  • Hawaiian Luau
  • Fiesta
  • Casino
  • Mardi Gras
  • Sports
  • College Bound

The most popular theme for a graduation party is the Hawaiian Luau theme.  There is a lot you can do with carrying this fun tropical theme thoughout your party.  Hawaiian costumes, flowered leis, tiki torches and it’s easy to decorate in a tropical theme with palm trees, coconuts and thatch umbrellas. 

HalloweenExpress.com has everything you’ll need to make a fun-filled grad party, Hawaiian style!

Even though summer doesn’t officially start until June 21st, to many college students it is now summer!  May is also a big month for many grade and high school students to be getting their summer breaks and parents are scrambling to find things for their children to do over the summer. 

I can’t believe Memorial Day is only two weeks away!  To me that is the “unofficial” start to summer.  With the parades and families getting together for grill-outs, it’s always a great time to start the summer.  Don’t forget your red, white and blue decorations, accessories AND costumes!  At HalloweenExpress.com you’ll find patriotic costumes for every age. 

Kids Costumes

A great way to keep your little ones occupied over the summer is with costumes.  Playing dress-up is a fun and creative way for your child to play.  With kids costumes you can let your child’s imagination run wild!  They will play for hours as cowboys and Indians, superheroes that save the world, princesses and knights in shining armor.  Girls and boys will both have fun picking out costumes for their summer fun!
