Trick-or-treat!  A baby or infant may not understand what the phrase means, but he or she can still have fun participating in the Halloween festivities. Of course baby’s first holidays are really for the parents, since baby probably won’t remember any of them, so feel free to dress your little one as you wish- there will be a day when they won’t want you to dress them anymore!  Have fun with it and take lots of pictures. In the following paragraphs we will give you some baby costume ideas as well as safety tips and fun activity ideas for parents to do with their little ones at Halloween time.

How to choose a costume

Halloween is a time for young and old to be whatever they want to be for one day. A Star Wars character? No problem. Superman? Great. A princess? A witch? A ghost? The list goes on and on. In baby’s case, his or her costume is based on what parents want baby to be for the day. When brainstorming for your baby’s costume you will first want to decide which costume genre you want to pursue. Many times parents want baby’s costume to match the rest of the family’s so you might want to pick out the other family member’s costumes first and then look for a baby costume to match.

Make, Buy or Borrow?

After deciding on a costume idea you will next need to decide whether you want to make your baby’s costume yourself or purchase it. You can also look at the option of borrowing a costume from a relative or friend who’s baby has outgrown theirs (which is probably the most cost effective costume idea you will find).

As far as buying goes, most baby costumes range from $19.99 to $49.99. You can even find some on clearance for $14.99 at certain stores and on websites. There are also older child, teen and adult costumes so you might want to consider buying all of your family’s costumes at once place to take advantage of free shipping opportunities and coupons.

If you decide you want to make baby’s costume yourself, bravo! This gives you the chance to make a truly unique and custom fitted costume just for your little one. There are plenty of websites that offer baby costume patterns and you can also try looking at your local fabric store for patterns and Halloween fabric.

*Note- For newborns and very small babies a good option is themed pajamas. In pajamas baby will stay comfy and safe while masquarading as a little animal, skeleton, ghost, ghoul, goblin or other festive creature.

Costume Safety and Comfort

Whether you make, buy or borrow your baby’s costume the first and most important thing to consider is baby’s comfort and safety. Be aware that the costume should not be too tight or binding, especially around the neck. Baby will not have a good Halloween if his or her movements are restricted or if he or she is too hot. If you decide to use a costume with a headpiece ensure that it isn’t squeezing baby’s head. Many babies and infants do not like things on their heads so the headpiece might get pulled off during the festivities or even before. In addition, we recommend that you do not use a mask in your baby’s ensemble since this could be dangerous or at the minimum scare your baby. If you choose to put face paint on baby, use non-toxic paints to ensure that baby’s sensitive skin is protected as well as to prevent baby from ingesting anything toxic (since the paint could run if baby sweats, or baby might be able to lick it off around his or her mouth).

Other Important Things to Consider

The weather- is it usually getting cold or still a bit warm at Halloween time where you live?  If you have your heart set on a summery type costume for your baby and it will be cold where you live make sure to bring along a heavy coat and layer baby with items like legwarmers (which can be put on baby’s arms or legs for warmth), gloves, socks and shoes or boots. If baby will tolerate a hat then consider a matching winter type beanie, or another cap that covers baby’s head and ears.

The type of event you will be attending- If you will be going to a pumpkin patch or other outdoor event consider what the outside temperature will most likely be. However if you will be attending an indoor celebration and it’s cold outside be sure that you can take off any layers from baby’s costume when you get inside so that baby stays warm on the trip to and fro but is comfortable inside the event.

Other people’s costumes- As you probably know, babies and infants can get startled easily. If you are going to an event where adults and teens will be in costume, or if you plan to go trick-or-treating, it is important to realize that your baby could get scared. Some adults costumes can be very frightening, even for baby’s parents, so it’s important to keep in mind that you may have to change your plans if baby isn’t enjoying the festivities. Certain babies will not be able to handle a situation like this at all so try to gauge what kind of event you feel your baby is ready for and plan accordingly.

Fun Halloween Activity Ideas

Throw a Halloween Party

Have your own Halloween party and invite your friends, family and their children.  When you host your own party, baby can enjoy Halloween festivities right in his or her own home with people he or she is already familiar with. At your own house you will have more control over what baby is exposed to, such as certain costumes (you could ask guests to remove scary masks, etc. when around baby- most guests probably won’t mind, as their intention is most likely not to scare small babies!) You could have a small gathering or go all out and do cute invitations, decorations, food, drinks, games and favors.  Just make sure that any decorations and games do not have small pieces that your baby could get ahold of.  There are plenty of websites that offer excellent Halloween party ideas so have fun with it and start planning!

Community Organized Events

Sometimes there are planned Halloween events at local churches, schools, malls, museums, fire houses, zoos and YMCAs. In some cities there are even Halloween parades and carnivals. It’s important to do some research about each event first to see if it’s going to be something that you think your baby or infant would be able to handle and hopefully enjoy. Many of these events will have plenty of other children attending so your baby can be entertained watching the children play games and do activities (and it’s even better if you have an older child because they can participate while baby looks on). You can usually find a good list of events in your local newpaper or online by searching “Halloween Events for Kids in ______” and adding your city in the blank.

Pumpkin Patches

Pumpkin patches are a great place to take a baby or infant for Halloween! Babies will love looking at all of the pumpkins and watching the older kids do the hayride, corn maze, face painting, mini train, pony rides or other activities offered.  Many pumpkin patches also have farm animals around which babies tend to enjoy looking at and in some cases petting. As with other activities don’t forget to bring a jacket and extra clothes for baby if it’s a cold October.

Trick-or-Treat (If You Dare!)

Many parents who have older children decide to bring baby along for the ride, and others choose to take baby trick-or-treating to show off his or her cute costume and be social.  Either way it is essential to remember that your baby can’t handle what older kids can and so his or her limit will probably come a lot sooner than the other children, especially if he or she gets spooked. If you are going as a family be sure to have a “back-up plan” in case baby gets tired or scared, such as one parent taking baby home and the other staying with the other children who want to continue trick-or-treating. It is also highly suggested to take baby only to houses of friends or family to avoid any potential scares. Some people enjoy making their home and costume as scary as possible for trick or treaters and while an older child might think this is “cool” a baby or infant will most likely not!

This Halloween our daughter will be 11 months old and we are beyond excited about picking out just the right costume and event for her. Whatever you decide to do with your baby don’t forget to bring your camera and your childlike wonder. We wish you a very happy and safe Halloween!

Tinkerbell Costumes – Sexy And Captivating Getups For Women

Since 1954, the Walt Disney version of Tinkerbell has been the hostess of the majority of the corporation’s live-action programming, cementing her place as a pop culture icon. In turn, the fairy’s now-classic outfit of green dress and fairy wings has become a staple of all sorts of fancy dress events, popular with both young girls living out their dreams of being fairies and older women wanting to look both demure and sexy.

So why does dressing up in what is widely thought of as a children’s fancy dress outfit make women feel so sexy? Well, it is important to remember that Walt Disney was roundly condemned when his 1953 cartoon of Peter Pan was released for the sexualised version of Tinkerbell that was displayed on screen. A rumour even circulated that the fairy’s body was based on that of Marilyn Monroe – a rumour later scotched by animator Marc Davis admitting that Tink was based on actress Margaret Kerry. So while young girls may revere Tinkerbell for the fairy’s carefree and mischievous attitude, adults can admire her sexy nature, and the fact that the fairy fancy dress costume could be the ideal outfit to fit in with the increasing popularity of fancy dress parties.

So why are grown-up women dressing up as Tinkerbell to have fun? Well, there is a surprising resurgence in fancy dress parties. Hen parties are renowned for its members dressing up, but other events such as fancy dress club nights and even Blitz parties are becoming increasingly popular. People can relive a bit of their childhood while indulging in more adult pursuits like having a few drinks, so it’s no surprise that people want to dress up in a fairy costume when they have fun.

The Tinkerbell fancy dress costume can appeal to women looking for an outfit that is both sexy and still a little demure. It is not as ‘trash
1000
y’ as skimpy Playboy outfits, so while it is short enough to look attractive, it gives more of a sense of fun rather than just exuding raw sex appeal. More and more women are looking to be both sexy while avoiding being too trampy.

Even celebrities are getting in on the fancy dress act. While they may not be wearing Tinkerbell costumes, they are still dressing up for their parties. Of course, the likes of Katie Price are very keen to dress up in fairy costumes for events such as hen nights, but even Seal and Heidi Klum had a white trash-themed ceremony to renew their wedding vows.

So from her origins as the Walt Disney character, Tinkerbell became a sexualised image early on. While there is still an innocence that makes her appealing to young children, there is also an inherent naughtiness that makes dressing up in fairy costumes appealing for adults looking to have a good time. Both less trashy than many other feminine fancy dress styles, and almost classic thanks to the iconic status of Tinkerbell in popular culture, fairy costumes have sprinkled their magic over the public once again.

1. Always welcome the guests in your speech if it is your own birthday.

2. Say how happy you are to be there, if you are a guest at the birthday party. If you are a family member say how great it is to see everyone gathered together for such a special occasion..

3. Thank whoever is responsible for organising the birthday party saying how much you are enjoying the lovely food and the marvellous atmosphere.

4. Talk about what a birthday means. Depending on which one it is, you could find a poem or a quotation that sums up how you feel. If it is a special one such as a 21st there is even more reason to celebrate so start searching for that appropriate phrase that will stand out in the birthday speech.

5. Speak of the celebrant’s attributes. Say he/she has always been a great friend, a marvellous listener or the soul of hospitality. Say what he or she means to you as a family member, friend or neighbour.

6. Add a bit of humor to the birthday speech. E.G. If everyone knows the birthday boy or girl cannot sing in tune announce that as a special treat you have organised a recording session for him/her.

7. Speak about his/her foibles like needing Times Square to park the car or his/her inability to get anywhere on time.

8. Be diplomatic in what you say. There are things people won’t want mentioned in a birthday speech. Mention of alcohol or drug habits are not a good idea. It is probably safer too to avoid mention of politics, as there will undoubtedly be different loyalties amongst the guests.

9. Talk of his/her skills or talents. It’s nice to praise the celebrant for what he/she does with those talents. So if you love dancing with him/her say so. If you enjoy playing golf because he or she is so entertaining say that too. If he/she does wonderful work for the underprivileged it’s good to say nice things.

10. Mention what the birthday boy or girl means in your life. If he is a husband or she is a friend say how they have enriched your life in so many different ways. Then add how much the guests think of him/her.

11. Your birthday speech should always end on a positive note. Be positive in your speech. Talk about the future and all the good things you wish for the celebrant in the days ahead. Above all your birthday speech should leave him/her with happy memories.

Halloween Opens Creativity
 by: Ray La Foy

Halloween is a time for both adults and kids alike to delve into their creative sides and dream up inventive Halloween costumes. It is also a time when people want to be something that they cannot be in their everyday lives. Some people choose to use their minds and try something clever, while others stick to the traditional choices of ghost or witch. They also want their costumes to be unique and very different from everyone else’s that they may see on that particular day

Some people are talented enough to create their own Halloween costumes while others stick to store-bought. Have fun with your costume this year and go over the top! Make your costume the best at the party!

If you’re dressing up for a Halloween party, you’re naturally going to want to look at some sexy Halloween costumes before choosing the right costume for you. That’s kind of the whole point of dressing up for Halloween. You have the perfect excuse to go over the top and surprise everyone with your sexy alter ego.

You will easily find sexy versions of traditional Halloween costumes. If you’re thinking of being a witch or a devil, you can easily make them sexy Halloween costumes. Some of these costumes feature very short tops or bustiers and mini skirts combined with more traditional costume elements. They also often feature sexy materials like vinyl and lace. Add heels or, even better, patent leather or vinyl tall boots with high heels, and you’ve made the costume.

Don’t forget to add fishnets, which come in white, black, and red. Just know that white are a little harder to see. Consider wearing regular nylons underneath the fishnets for more contrast and to give your legs a more toned look. Black fishnets work with basically everything. They’re like the nude of fishnets. Otherwise, another kind of stockings is necessary. Thigh highs are a lot of fun, and extremely sexy.

Accessories and props will make sexy Halloween costumes. If you’re a devil, make sure you have horns. If you’re a cat, mouse, or bunny, get your ears and tail. The ears actually make a great headband and they also are great for hiding a wig line. Halloween is a fun time to try long wigs (or short if you have long hair).

Using Halloween decorations such as candles, jack o lanters, table cloth and settings, Halloween props and Dracula teeth along with a costume makes it possible to tell a whole story. What character is truly complete without his or her props? No matter who or what your costume is seeking to portray, there is most likely a way to play the part more fully with the help of Halloween decorations.

One way to come up with a prop idea is to establish a character and think of something that he or she might want with him or her more often than not. Think of a cowboy. He may want a gun, a campfire nearby or a horse (this last prop might have to actually be played by a friend). An angel could do well to carry a harp in her hands, or a fairy would likely need a wand.

On a more creative note, a way to make a costume that seems serious more amusing is by incorporating the right Halloween props. This will be easier for some people than others, for there are just those who tend to get really inspired about some small detail and it takes them far.

Perhaps, in the case of using props to hint at something, act as an insight or to make a sarcastic statement, decide to dress as a friend, a celebrity or a politician. This person might be well known for an association with something in particular. Carrying around an item that suggests that well-known personality trait (an alarm clock for the guy who is never on time, a mirror for someone vain, etc.) can end up being a big hit as you hear people exclaiming, “Oh, I get it,” followed by laughter.

Halloween began thousands of years ago Celtic people inhabiting the area that is now England, Ireland and Scotland celebrated their new year on November 1st. The Celtic religious order known as the Druids held a great festival each year on the evening before the their new year. This festival was celebrated in honor of the god, Samhain, the Druid god of death and was known as All Hallowtide. The Druids believed in the supernatural and tried to placate the Lord of Death with offerings. This is the action that “Trick-or-Treat” emulates today. The community also sacrificed animals and offered fruits and vegetables so the spirits would keep their distance. The cold and darkness of winter and the presence of spirits are reasons why Halloween is connected with images of death and evil.

Halloween is spooky, but taking Halloween pictures shouldn’t be. From a jack-o’-lantern’s scary stare to frighteningly fun costumes, this holiday offers unique picture-taking opportunities. The tips below will ease your mind about the unusual challenges that Halloween presents for a photographer. And we’ll also show you a few tricks to capture bewitching jack-o’-lantern pictures.

Halloween is a time for both adults and kids alike to delve into their creative sides and dream up inventive Halloween costumes. It is also a time when people want to be something that they cannot be in their everyday lives.

Whether you would buy a ready made angel costume or perhaps you might want to have a tailor sew this for you always check the material. Feel it and perhaps try the costume first and check if you are comfortable with the textile. There are some instances that the cloth might itch after a few minutes especially at the end areas of the skirt or the sleeves. Double checking is thus essential. Make sure every fabric is tried out onto your hand and rate if it feels comfortable or not.

The second thing to consider is the fit. Ladies I know are very particular on this especially if they have the right body contours. Don’t make it too fitting especially if there would be a tendency for you to gain weight over the months or so. In addition, don’t make the costume suffocate your body too much or you might end up ruining it especially if you might move too much in the party. Make sure joint areas like under the armpits and waist parts are loose enough for you to dance and move around without tearing the costume apart.

In addition, the design would also be a proper consideration especially if you are very particular with it. A typical silky angel costume is not that trendy nowadays. Consider intricate details on the costume like beads and cute designs. Cloth folds are also very current now and would add more volume to the totality of the outfit. Much more, the usual white outfit can be coupled with different colors like black for that dark angel look and other shades like light pink, silver or gold.

There are many things a consumer might want to check on before purchasing a particular angel Halloween costume. These are some suggestions that can make or break your outfit. Always remember how comfortable you might feel and how glamorous you might look after wearing it. So head on now to your favourite retail stores or trusted online sites and start checking before stocks might run out.

Women would naturally prefer to dress up like angels because of the message it brings. For one, it relays purity and innocence. Men on the other hand want the said costume as well portraying like strong and tough archangels. Infants and toddlers definitely look good with such attire and they are perfect replicas of what angels must and should be. Accessorizing your angel Halloween costume is a must. We all know the basics but what else can we probably add?

The very important accessory that every aspiring angel must have is wings. The color of the wings would be dependent on what kind of angel you would like to emulate. If you are planning to be a typical angel then the usual white wings would do. If you have plans to be a dark angel instead black broad wings is appropriate. The wings must conform to the body size of the user and must as well be made of durable materials so as not to flap after long time usage. For the trendy ones, perhaps a pair of wings with different colors would look fabulous. You can even add glitters if you want as well.Another important accessory that must not be left out is a halo. The halo’s colors would be dependent as well to your wings color. If you don’t have a halo, a tiara would do well and can suffice the whole ensemble. Another wonderful accessory that you can add would be a good looking pair of shoes or boots. The sleeker it is the sexier it can be. The boots also does wonders especially for ladies because it definitely looks sexy. If you have plans to wear a voluptuous angel Halloween costume then stockings are suggested accessories with pretty ribbons on the side.

For the ladies, make ups are a must for that prettier face. Red or nude lipsticks are on the top list since these are some sought after sexy lip colors. Flash those smoky eyes coupled with eye shadows and eye liner. There are also brands where you can add glitters making your eyes sexier. A good pair of blush-on is also recommended for that rosy after effect. Just don’t tend to overdo your make up. Always go for that natural look unless you would want to add that sexy image alongside with that angelic look.

These are only ample accessories that you must add to your angel Halloween costume. However, you can still add some if you have any ideas like elbow length silky gloves, hats for halo substitutes and jewelries. Just be creative and imaginative to achieve that unique angel costume. Set yourself apart from the rest and make yourself stand out. Have fun and be the pretty party angel this Halloween.

The first thing and perhaps the most important factor is the costume’s comfort. You must make sure that the textile or fabric is soft enough so as not to hurt the delicate skin of your babies. If possible, you can opt to have it a try on your baby and see how the babies react on the texture of the costume. Of course you would not want your baby to cry during the parties because of it.

The second thing to remember aside from the comfort is its safety. In every angel costume, you may have accessories like wings and halo that might consist of plastics. Toddlers are known for a fact to taste every object they might have in their hands. You must make sure that these are safe for them and might not probably hurt them in a way. With that said check for the materials that were being used for the costume if they are proven harmless to your baby.

The third factor is to check the design of the angel Halloween costume. Your baby must definitely look cute especially in this once a year event. Don’t try to overload fashion to your baby because it might ruin his or her adorable moment. As much as possible try to keep the costume simple but would definitely look good on your infant. You can even consider a jumpsuit angel style so that it can be easily taken off whenever you need to run for diaper changes or a wide balloon skirt for the girls.

Thus this November, don’t just clamour for outfits and pick on what would be a trendy infant angel Halloween costume. Instead, think over the material and check how your baby would feel when having these on. After all, the essence of Halloween is not only making a whole lot of fun but also a safe and sound occasion for everyone.
