It’s a very happy time to turn 50 years old, and so planning the perfect party is essential to celebrate! Here are some ideas to ensure you have a successul 50th birthday party with your loved ones.

A central theme can make party planning much easier, and one of the best themes is to relive your favorite decade. By throwing back to that persons youth, adolescence and young adulthood as well as focusing on some highlights from adulthood, you can ensure to leave the person feeling nostalgic about their life experiences, certainly a good feeling to have when you’re celebrating such an important event with your friends and family. Bring back the tie die of the 70’s, the neon lights and bar scene of the 80’s and the best of the 90’s – you’ll be sure to entertain everyone at the party with a great theme that can be taken in many directions depending on the person and the party guests! To make it easy for aging minds to remember those decades, go with popular icons, such as celebrities or products that were popular at that time.

Do you have any old photos of the person? It can be quite entertaining to remember what the person looked like from birth through the present.  Check with other people who know the birthday guy or girl to see if they have photos you could use for a collage or poster or memory board. You could also add some humor to the occasion with a few funny 50th birthday poems, too. Don’t forget to also supply food and drinks for everyone at the party. Be sure that you have plenty of your favorite party appetizers to serve everyone. Another alternative or additional theme to have in your party could possibly be a golden one, since gold is the color associated with 50th birthdays and anniversaries. You can incorporate this theme in with a number of different food dishes, serving utensils, and party games quite easily.

Most importantly, make sure that everyone is having a good time. Be sure to take into consideration your guest list when you plan your party so that everyone has something to do – be it cocktails for adults, games for the young ones or an ice-breaking game if not everyone is familiar with the other party guests.

Now that you have some great ideas, you’re ready to start planning the perfect party!

I’ve had so much fun the past two years working on my girls’ Homemade Halloween Costumes.  There are alternatives to those prepackaged, sometimes cheaply made and darn-near flammable costumes in the bag.  I like to start with something I already have or from a piece of inspiration I get from an online Halloween costume store…like a cowgirl hat or a witch’s hat. I pulled out the ole sewing machine and went to town on my daughter’s witch costume.  No pattern!  A little face paint, tights a hat and she looked awesome.

And my cowgirl…well, she used a recital costume.  I bought leggings, boots and a hot pink shirt…sewed fringe down the sleeves and bought a sequin-clad cowgirl hat from an online Halloween store like HalloweenMart.

I hope everyone has a safe, fun and creative Halloween!Homemade Halloween Costumes

Homemade Halloween Costumes

My parents were never very strong on Halloween, nor were their friends. Even though they would take us trick-or-treating, they would never dress up for the occasion.  When I was that age, I loved to dress up in spooky costumes. I would dress up as a villain from slasher film’s, such as Jason, Freddy Krueger, or Leatherface from the Texas chainsaw massacre.

The first time I put on a couple costumes was when I was 17. I was in my first relationship then, and I was hopelessly in love. I guess all teenagers fall in love when they have the first relationship. Anyway, my girlfriend was kind of a cheese ball. She adored anything cute and romantic. At Halloween, of course, she insisted on us getting couples costumes. My friends used to make fun of me, but I persevered anyway.  I knew that couple costumes were important to her, and I didn’t want to disappoint her. We went as Tweedledum and Tweedledee that year. Although a few of my friends just had to make fun of us, it was obvious that they thought the idea was pretty funny.

After that year, couple costumes were a hit in my crew. Every year, we would go in costumes that complemented each other. Sometimes, we would be in pairs, but more often we would go as whole groups. One of the best couple costume events was when everyone dressed up as their favorite hero or villain duo. We had Batman and Robin, Superman and Wonder Woman, and a foursome dressed as the Fantastic Four. We also had a very special appearance by Baron Greenback from Danger Mouse, surrounded by several of his most villainous henchman.

With all of the previous costumes I had worn, I had more than enough supplies to make a new, seemingly fresh costume from spare pieces of previous ones.

 

Tinkerbell fancy dress is a really popular choice of costume among little girls and grown women alike. Tinkerbell costumes let us enjoy our childhood fairy fantasies and thoughts of magic and wings.

Tinkerbell fancy dress is so popular due to the well-known J.M. Barrie novel Peter Pan and all the consequent movies and animated films that have been made, based on the story, including the 2003 Hollywood blockbuster Peter Pan movie.

Tinkerbell is a tiny, tinker fairy that mends and makes things, and leaves a trail of sparkling fairy dust behind her. She can be ill-tempered but at other times she is sweet and kind to Peter. These extremes in her character are explained in the original story by the fact that a fairy’s small size prevents her from being able to have more than one feeling at a time.

These characteristics make for some fabulous costume ideas, as you can either be a kind Tinkerbell or a mean Tinkerbell.

If you’d rather dress as the kind, helpful fairy Tinkerbell then your costume should inlcude a short, green fairy dress with matching wings and some fairy dust. Just get some glitter or silver sparkle decorations for this.

There are lots of Tinkerbell fancy dress costumes on the market to buy but if you want to create your own costume there are loads of different fairy wings available on their own as well, so you can just accessorise your home-made costume.

If you want to dress as the meany Tinkerbell or be an alternative Tinkerbell wear black or dark colours. This is a great costume idea for Halloween. To make your own wear a black or grey short fairy dress and get some dark wings.

The choices are wide but if you want the best Tinkerbell fancy dress costume at the party be sure to look around and spend as much money on a costume as your budget allows. Do lots of research by looking at images of Tinkerbell to properly look the part and get into the role.

Halloween is approaching very quickly. It’s time to figure out what you are going to wear. You know you want a erotic look , so what type of costume should you get?
