Famous Couples Costume Party: Corporate Halloween Party
Halloween is as much fun for adults as it is for kids! A Halloween party for grown ups has all the elements of a Kids’ Halloween Party but with a slight difference, the party theme should cater to the whims and quirks, as well as food tastes, of grown ups.
Much like the 80’s party theme, dancing and finger foods are components of a Famous Couples Costume Party. The main difference is that in the latter, couples come in dressed in celebrity costumes. Do you know any famous couples? How about Brangelina or the first couple of the USA? Or Barbie and Ken?
This theme is Ideal for a Corporate Halloween Party because the employees can bring their spouses or partners and play dress up with their colleagues. A company party may ideally be held during Christmas season because it’s also the time for giving the bonus pay, but the “costume” theme makes this party ideal for Halloween.
One way of creating a costume for this party is to first figure out what the celebrity you are coming as is known for. In the Brangelina example, Angelina Jolie is best known for Tombraider and so the woman can come in wearing something that resembles her get up in the movie. Brad Pitt, on the other hand, is best known for his Jesse James movie and so the man could come in dressed to the nines with a Jesse James’ outfit.
A nametag could be distributed and people can write down their movie character impersonations for better reception, but really, the best part about this particular costume party is the conversation that will ensue with everyone discussing who he pattern his costume from. Food can be served buffet style and some prizes may be given out to couples with the best costumes. For giveaways,I recommend promotional pens with the company logo.
Some employees need not feel alienated with the ‘couples’ theme. They may still wear costumes to the party and come in groups or alone. The only thing to consider is the ‘famous’ clause, i.e. the costume must be depicting a famous personality.

Halloween for Adults: The 80s Costume Party
We all remember the fun and carefree 80’s. This was the era when all the trends revolved around Michael Jackson, Madonna, Flash Dance, Miami Vice and Punk Rock. For an 80’s-inspired costume party, couples may be instructed to dress in the style that made the 80’s popular, namely: bright-colored tights; padded blouses and vests; acid wash denim, hairspray-laden punk hairstyles; funky hats and big sunglasses.
Invitations may be given out a few weeks to a month before the party, to give families time to prepare their costumes. A disco dance floor may be prepared, complete with spotlights for that “Flash Dance” feel of your 80’s party.
Food and drinks will be served prom-style, in a long buffet table adorned with centerpieces that represent the 80’s, such as multicolored Rubix cubes or a lady’s bust draped with punk implements (scarves, beach glasses, geometrical earrings). Finger foods are a must! The usual fried chicken and pasta should be available in easy-to-hold plastic plates because people will be dancing to 80’s music.
Couples who bring kids may let the children stay inside a playpen with a designated adult watcher while they spin the night away on the dance floor. Here, the kids can get in the groove of the 80’s party by creating paper crafts like paper sunglasses and personalized funky hats for their parents.
This is the time to prepare for an 80s inspired costume party for adults to attend during Halloween. If the preparations get to you and no funds are avaliable at the moment for you to spend on decorations and preparations, there is always a first cash advance option that you can avail off to fund your party needs. Apply for a small business loan early to have a really fabulous Halloween.
Reno Honeymoon: Pampering for Couples
If you are planning a Reno vacation for a honeymooning couple, here’s an agenda fit for royalty. Among the reno hotels, the Atlantis resort spa caught my eye because their spa features and facilities are just what lover birds need to relax and bask in each other’s company.
The main things to consider are the activities that the couple will enjoy together such as salon services, a romantic sauna visit, romance in the whirlpool, private lover’s conversation in the steam rooms, beating the weight together on cardio equipments, and the after-romance cold plunge pool swim. During winter, you can plan for a Reno vacation that involves skiing at Alpine Meadows, Diamond Peak and Squaw Valley. During summer, it’s hitting the green in the golf clubs.
Provisions for Pets.
This hotel offers pet friendly Motorlodge rooms, where 2 pets (under 40 lbs) can stay with the couple for a non-refundable fee of $25 USD. These rooms are cheaper than those in the main hotel, and are located in a building adjacent to the main hotel. Guests can have full access to the indoor and outdoor pools, and outdoor spa facilities.
Tower Rooms and Entretainment
How would you like to stay in a 450 square ft room with floor to ceiling windows, allowing a magnificent view of the mountains and the skyline? VIP suite choices include one King-sized bed or two queen-sized beds. There are in-room coffee makers for honeymooners who don’t want to leave bed or each other to grab a cup. Some other room features include dual line phones, matching terry bathrobes and bathroom products. They offer non-smoking poker rooms for those who want to play in a healthier atmosphere.
A Serious Note: Partying That Means Trouble
We have all seen the gory details of Lohan parties that don’t go well, or Britney outbursts that get feasted on by the media and talked about over coffee all over the planet. The most heartbreaking about these stories is that we have seen these women grow up on screen. They are the little girly girls who get famous overnight and become the ladies who are in raving media nightmares today.
And people blame it on the parties.
It’s easy to lose one’s self in a party. Somehow, the lights and the “anything goes” atmosphere create the delusion that it could go on forever. Some celebrities who have the cash to splurge just to be in the right party places can’t be stopped from thinking that normal partying is for the regular people, and their brand of partying should be filled with a more brilliant kaleidoscope of colors. And so, they go for harder drinks and the so-called ‘party meds’.
Unlike the rest of us who need to becareful what we drink and consume to avoid mishaps, these celebrities are mistakenly comforted with the fact that they can afford even the most expensive drug rehab programs.
Under these programs, the party people who get hooked on these party meds will be treated in private, so that no one will be able to see their pain. Some of these rehab centers have facilities that cater specifically to these celebrities. The problem is, even with these drug treatment options at their disposal, they continue with their junkie lifestyles and couldn’t care less what others think.
There are parties that inspire fun and excitement, but it is still up to the party goer if she decides to go overboard with the fun. These people are not addicted to parties, they get addicted to their delusions of meds-induced fun.
My Party Agenda dot com’s reminder to would-be holiday party goers:
Party hard, but party safely.
