Organising a costume party can be quite stressful if you don’t know where you start. Write down a list of things you will need to start organising because even if you’re planning a smaller house party you will need to be prepared.
Pullout Invitation
Before even deciding on what decorations to have or what costume to wear, you need to check how many guests are coming and start creating and breath-taking invitation.
You will need:
Purple paper (2×9”)
Hole Punch
Glue
White card (5×4”)
Pretty ribbon (1/8”)
Black, blue and green felt tip pen
Scissors
Instructions:
- Fold the purple paper at 4” and ½”.
- Glue the ½” piece to the inside bottom edge to stop the inside card from falling out.
- Cut a semi circle at the top of the purple paper.
- Slip the white card into the pocket and draw the semi circle with green felt tip (Look at the image for help)
- Hole punch the centre of the green semi circle and knot a piece of ribbon through it.
- Use black felt tip pen to draw on the bats, blue for the dotty background and design your own pattern on the front using what ever you like! (We have used tissue paper, stick, black paper, white craft pen, white and orange paper)
What to write?
Make sure you keep your invite short and simple, making sure you include the appropriate information!

TIP: You will also need to check if anyone has any allergies or are vegetarian so you know what party nibbles to have.
