Make Time To Brush Off That Nice Old Minnie Mouse Costume And Get Your Inner Martha Into Party Planning Mode!

Halloween is in the air! Watch some scary movies for inspiration. Here are several unique Halloween decorating ideas that are inexpensive and easy to do. Sprinkle Halloween touches throughout your home, or choose a specific theme to decorate around, such as Gothic, zombie party, monster mash or Nightmare Before Christmas. A few pumpkins on the porch and some spiderwebs in the living room are an easy, cost effective way to set the right mood

Gothic Style - Go for a Gothic look by using lots of black tablecloths, dead flowers, candelabras with black candles with lots of wax drippings, and some black birds perched on frames and light fixtures. Martha Stewart magazines or the website is a great resource for lots of Gothic decorating ideas. You can pick up lots of items at a thrift store that will enhance your theme. Be on the lookout for things like black sheets and tablecloths, vases, candelabras and even Halloween decorations.

Scary Graveyard - For a great entrance, create a spooky graveyard scene to greet your guests as they arrive. Make Styrofoam headstones, a cardboard coffin and a fog machine if you can get your hands on one. Headstones can be made with some Styrofoam available at craft stores, and grey spray paint for the headstone, black paint for the lettering. You could also hang a stuffed body from a tree to add to the spooky effect.

Thrift Store Treasures - Your local thrift store is a great place for finding Halloween bargins. Spray paint candelabras for a spooky look, and black sheets are great to drape over furniture. Many thrift stores have a wide range of Halloween props and decorations for your home. If you are short on storage space, just donate everything back to the thrift store after Halloween!

Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas - The Nightmare Before Christmas is a fun theme for a Halloween party, especially for Tim Burton and Disney fans. If you feel the characters are too limited, you could expand the concept and encourage your guests to come as their favorite Disney character. This concept is perfect for couples as there are many famous Disney couples to portray. Minnie Mouse Costume paired with Mickey, Jack Skellington and Sally, Cinderella and the Prince.

Use these ideas to spark your own imagination. Most important of all, get your costume in time for your party. You can order a Mouse Costume, Minnie Mouse Costume or choose from thousands of other costumes and party supplies online, but do it soon. Halloween's right around the corner!
