Hi everyone,
I was hoping I could turn to all of you and get ideals for decorating (on a budget) a Halloween/Fall Themed baby shower coming up Oct. 18th?
We are looking for a mixture of Fall and Halloween (cute and a little scary here and there) and Baby.
The place the baby shower will be held is a small 2 story house in a country setting (lots of land and privacy). The living room in this house has vaulted slanted ceilings (no flat ceiling like traditionally seen) with the high high walls and a partially open area to the upstairs. So, it would be hard to hang anything from the ceiling where it is so tall and slanted.
Here is what we have come up with so far: Garland on the stairway banisters (seen as you come in the front door) possibly with orange/purple or white lights, pumpkins, gourds, streamers, balloons (of course) and for a nice large centerpiece for the main food table; a lighted vase with dead Branch’s sticking out in all sizes (painted black with purple glitter)… Other than that we are stuck and don’t know what else to try to add a nice "mood" to everything.

We are, also, looking for recipes that one might use for such an occassion.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have a special needs daughter and we are planning a trip to Disney. I have not found any thread that talks about Disney vacation insurance. If there is, please let me know. She has many special needs and I am concerned that if something pops up medically(they usually do..)that we will be at a loss of money and a vacation. People tell me if you go through an agent they have this insurace for medical emergencies to safeguard you. We are working with a fixed budget so I am concerned what the cost may be. If anyone has any suggestions on how to help..I had thought my parents would keep the baby but it looks like she will be coming with us. I will take any advice you can throw my way. Thanks!!

I want to be a belly dancer/harem girl for Halloween. But I’m in college and on a budget so I only want to spend like total. Does anyone know where I can get either a full costume or components of a costume for that price??

I’m a 16 year old girl and a size 0, so can’t really get anything from a costume store or online. Plus I’m on a limited budget. Also, I’m going to a masquerade party, so I need a costume that lends itself to a pretty mask.

Ok so I’m having a Halloween Party this year and I need some ideas for goody bags. I’m on a budget so stuff inexpensive please.

Thanks so much for anyone who answers!
