Good afternoon bloggers !

As you all know, my party already passed. I blog a bit earlier than normal, because of the start of the autumn holidays.

Unfortunately, this is my last post about the Halloween-party. Reading this blog will give you all an idea what to expect when a party is done.

The party was a big success. It ended at 5.30 am. Everybody was dancing on a certain moment, so I guess, they all had a great time.

The day after is a big understatement. A lot of things had to be done, so I decided to wake up early. My boyfriend, parents and I started to clean the greenhouse and collect all the decoration. Bringing glasses to the kitchen, cleaning tables, collect beer bottles, ex. This were just a few things that had to be done. Fortunate we are all good workers, so the deal was done in a moment.

After the cleaning at home, we went to the recycling centre.  Returning the fridge, tables and decoration was the following thing we did.  And last but not least we returned the remains of the drinks, divided the rest of the snacks and opened our presents.

I look back to a wonderful party and I thank all the people who helped to realize this party.

Luckily, it won’t last that long until another party will be organised because I’m becoming 21 next year!

Thanks for reading and see you all next year!

Hello everyone,

as you all know the party is in two days so the past week was very hectic.

The day after my blog of past week I found a dj-boot ! All this time, it was right under my nose. An invited friend is so gentle to borrow me his dj-boot. This comes like a godsend because hiring a dj-boot like this is very expensive. Another positive thing is the fact that the person who borrowed me his dj-boot, will also play some music on my party.

He was very happy and relieved that he could help us and he was very pleased that he was responsible for the music. “Bad music, no party!” he told me. So I’am very excited and curious how my party shall look like.

The past week we cleaned also the whole greenhouse were the party will be. I guess that was the hardest job because it was a real mess ! But after two days of hard work the place was all cleaned up.

Than we could start with decorate the place with the Halloween- decoration.  After one hour, the whole place was ready for a halloweenparty!

Just before I was writing this blog, the dj-boot arrived and the dj is now installing the whole thing.

So now I will go to the supermarket and buy the drinks, snacks, … That will be the fun part I guess :p

After today, the party can begin ! We just need to pick up the tables and the fridge this Saturday and everything will be ready.

Hello everyone, me again ! The organisation of the party is progressing, although last week was very heavy.

We visited a few rental companies for some fridges and tables. A lot of the stores were overpriced or hadn’t the sise of table we need. Eventually, we found what we were looking for in the last visited shop.  I knew in advance that this shop would had what we needed. So the reservation was a quick done deal.

After that we went to a few shops for the decoration materials for the tables and the party-place.

That wasn’t an easy job because decoration material is very expensive !  But a colleague of mine on my vacation work heard about the party and mentioned that I could use some decoration she had at her home. So, another point we can line through on our checklist.

Now we have the decoration material, the fridge and the party-tables!

The next step was looking for a dj and a dj-boot. But that will be a task for next week J

I hope that I can tell you next week again some good news. The party is in nine days, so we need to hurry up!

Today it’s my birthday! I am past my teenager period, which means I am an adult now? Never mind, twenty feels good!

Despite the rainy weather I’m very cheerful. The fact that the most important people in my life are here is enough to make my day complete.

Last night I went celebrating my birthday with some friends and my boyfriend at a lovely restaurant. It was very cosy and the food was very tasty.

Ow yes I need to tell you also about the preparation of the party :D

We have our costumes! Normally it should remain a secret but I’ll tell you what our costumes will look alike …
We’ve chosen for the costume of a bloody nurse J It is a beautiful costume with a lot of funny accessories like stockings, a mouth mask and a hair cover. The costume fits perfect and the price of the costume was also within the budget.

Already 32 people have putted them on present on our facebookpage. Now that we have an idea about how many attendees there will be, we can make a shopping list and estimate how many beer, champagne , water, coke, snacks, … we will need.

After this week I think we can start with the real work like cleaning, decorating etc.

On the next post you will get to see how much we have purchased for the party. I hold my breath ;)

I just looked on our private facebook-page and there will be already 25 people present on our party, Woeehoeeew !

Everybody is very excited and they look forward to our party ! There is still no one who ‘ll not be present.

We also send everybody a message that they need to confirm their present before the 20^th of October. 

However, the preparations are not going so well :s

We had a lot of work for school the past week so we haven’t been able to prepare a lot,  but school work is still a priority.

We have searched for some recipes of Halloween snacks and drinks. That was sometimes very funny because they were a lot of weird ideas. For example a Halloween finger made of a sausage, ketchup and almond slices.

We searched online to find our costume. We found a lot of great websites with some insane costumes and accessories. Unfortunately, the best costumes were overprized ( > 50 euros).
So we’ve decided to visit a shop in Ghent (Belgium) next week, who is specialized in theme-clothes. Hopefully, we will find some nice and scary costumes!

Don’t be scared, we will post a picture of our costume ! ;)

Hello everyone, I’m Fien Block. I ‘ll tell you in this blog how you can organise a Halloween Party.

Because I and a friend of mine, celebrate our anniversary in the same month, we have decided to give a party together.

Today we’ve send everybody a message with all the details and the date for our Halloweenparty.

We have chosen for a party with a theme: Halloween !

We’ve invited approximately 55 people and we hope that all of them will show up the 26th of October.

To motivate the invites to choose a scary costume, we’ve set up two principles:  “No costume no entrance” and “Think scary, be creative, impress us !”.

A third motivation we mentioned was that the two best disguised will get a price at the end of the party.

My dad is a florist so the party will take place in one of the greenhouses. The greenhouse we will use is at the moment a mess, so we will have a lot of work to clean it up and decorate it into a scary environment.

Even it looks at the moment a little bit impractical, we will get it finished on time with some good enthusiasm and music in the background.

Next to preparing our location, there are a lot of other things that need to be handled! Looking for the drinks, snacks, our costumes, decoration and hiring some important equipment like a fridge, dj-booth, glasses, .. are also something that will take a lot of time.

Hopefully everything will get ready in time because there is still a bunch of work to do.

Fingers crossed and you will hear about the progress next week.
