Halloween parties : how to throw spook-tacular soirees & frighteningly festive e
Hellander, Lori.
Adult Nonfiction TX739.2.H34 H45 2004
From Publishers' Weekly:
Photo stylist Hellander?s book of Halloween-themed entertainment ideas shares recipes, decorating tips and invitation ideas for six different spooky parties. The Tricks & Treats party is pretty run of the mill, with its jack-o?-lantern goody bags, suggestions for pumpkin carving and recipes for Cupcakes with Candy Surprise Centers and Hot Red Wine with Cloves and Almonds. The rest of the parties?Witches? Brew; It?s a Mod, Mod World!; Hocus Pocus; Haunted House; and That Old Devil Moon?basically offer variations on the theme, with vaguely original ideas for party favors, place settings and snacks. Many of the suggestions seem flimsy (e.g., covering a room?s walls with wrapping paper to create a festive atmosphere) and don?t specifically apply to Halloween (e.g., party favors like styrofoam balls wrapped in crepe paper with tiny charms and fortunes stored inside; or recipes such as Breadsticks with Prosciutto and Robiola). But first-time hosts who haven?t a clue where to begin might glean something from this enthusiastic book. 96 photos. (Sept.) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
