It'll be here before you know it!! I am going to spend that day planning my Boo!Bash!2 for the Saturday before Halloween. The first Boo!Bash went so well, and I know it's because I started planning it so early. I was able to announce it to the family at the July 4th celebration, with a date and starting time!! They were impressed!! I have to admit, it does seem a little obsessive to start in January planning a Halloween party, but it sure makes it a lot easier in October! Even the last minute stuff is easy when the other things are done. So, here's my GPD#1 of '08 plans:
1. Make menu and grocery list, broken down into non-perishables and last minute items. Set a date for starting to pick up non-perishables and write it in my planner. Decide if it's going to be potluck or not. (It most likely will).
2. Decide on decorations and overall theme. I'm toying with a "White Pumpkin " theme...there's a fabulous book that I need to pick up at Wal-Mart called "For the Love of Pumpkins", which shows a wonderful white pumpkin party (well, ok, it's a wedding, but I can make it work!!) Details on this later...
3. Make out guest list (mostly the same as last year, with a few additions)
That should be enough for this month.
What spooky things are up with you? :hat:
