Bringing The Decorations To Life
All day today I have been working on the
layout for the decorations for The Mad Tea Party. Threw around
some new ideas and really liked them. I am sticking to my
original idea about lots and lots of Black streamers, they are cheap,
and you can do a lot with them. Also I felt today I really needed
to give the party a more "Spooky" and "Party" atmosphere other than
just lighting candles and leaving the lights on. After all it is
a Halloween party right?
I figured it would be a great idea to string the streamers
everywhere and make it look very ominous, even streaming them on the
tables and bookcases. Of course during all this time my poor
puppies will have to be put up, because I am afraid of thier appetites
for paper. Also decided to go "Lights out" in the living room and
dining room, which are connected. Also our foryer is basically
its own little room, and I am seriously thinking about hanging
streamers down like a curtain to the guests will feel like they are in
a fun house-type deal. The guests will then walk through the
black streamer curtain and into the living room where most of the party
will take place. The lights will be out, and I have decided to
use my old strobe light set on very very low so it doesn't annoy anyone
but still creates a party atmosphere. Also to cut down on the
annoyance of the strobe light I will have my regular decorations indoor
lights on and lots of candles lit for the mood.
As for music, I have just decided to can the idea of using DirecTV's
Sounds of the Seasons channel because apparently its two weeks before
Halloween and they do not have any Halloween music on there
STILL. So I have totally given up on that. I do however
have a natural love for Rob Zombie, and I do happen to own a DVD of his
most popular music videos. So I thought it would be a cool idea
for music to have it playing on our big screen TV for music and
something fun and spooky to look at.
Also the kitchen is in a totally different room in the house so I
figured I can partition that off with another streamer curtain, and
leave the lights on in there for people to get food and drink and sit
down and what-not.
It is very hard for me to explain the layout though without everyone
knowing what my house looks like. Hopefull though I will get to
take some pics right after I decorate and will be able to post
them. I would love feedback on this layout too so if anyone else
has any cool and cheap ideas please let me know!
