I mentioned this additional party a few days ago. I am really getting excited about the idea of this. I got the idea from a group at the Halloween Forum where mhootch hosts a Witch Wing-ding yearly and pandora hosts a Be-witched Bash. Their photos are fantastic and both events are for women only. I can't believe the variety of costumes on all the witches and they vary each year. SOme are bought costumes, many are things they put together, but all are wonderful.
I attended a Women's Empowerment Fitness Retreat in the spring and realized that there are few things that we do just for ourselves and with women only. So, I decided to host my own version of the Witch's Wing-ding. I want to invite some friends who are not into Halloween and would probably not attend due to the negative view of witches and the dark side. However, I love Halloween and separate this into just FUN and definitely am not into anything dark or evil. I don't even like horror shows!
I surprised people last year by having a small cemetery with headstones and bones and ghouls at the Boo Bash. However, to me this is not something dark, only silly props and fun. We even had a Butcher's Shoppe in my master bathroom.
I know that I am at odds with my church and the views of many. We have a trunk or treat there for the kids and it is a lot of fun. Costumes are encouraged, but no scary ones.
That being said, I plan to invite some of my women friends from church. I will have the house and yard already decorated for the Boo Bash, but I will let them know. Costumes will be required of all witches in attendance, but I have come up with something that I hope will encourage them to attend. Let me know what you think.
I am calling this party a Witchy Wing-ding. I am working on an invitation, but plant to illustrated that Witchy is an ancronym for:
Wonderful
Intelligent
Talented
Charming
Helpful
You
It is meant to be a time of women empowerment and honor us for what we do all year. Witch attire is required and we will celebrate the differences in us all.
Here is the rough draft of the little poem for the invitation:
Wonderful Intelligent Talented Charming Helpful You
Wing-ding
Once a year for Halloween
Women gather at a be-witching scene
To celebrate at a Witchy Wing-ding
For young, mature, single or those with a ring.
Guests are varied, but no men for the night.
Plan to attend and let your inner witch take flight!
Bring a gift ($10 or under) for a black cat auction all wrapped in a black trash bag style
So witches can haggle and cackle and not guess the contents for awhile.
Witch attire is required for all---pull out that pointy hat, and little black dress,
Or be daring and break witchy tradition, you’ll be sure to impress.
Be it glamorous, glitzy, croney, traditional, sexy, or something new
It is an evening to enjoy and celebrate the true witch in you.
We have one thing in common, we are all WITCHY, but, there is no evil at all---
Only women who are expected to perform magic and always be on call.
So hop on your broom and fly to my Haven for a well-earned night
It is sure to be an amazing sight!
Ideas? Suggestions?
We will have prizes for costumes, games, food and beverages.
