Zombies are all the rage this Halloween so creep into Halloween with a Zombie Party for your friends and family. I love zombie parties for the simple fact that I don’t even need to worry about having a spotless house before the party! Of course you can always add extra ambience with these ideas.
The invite:
Send Toe Tag invitations to all your guests a few weeks in advance outlining your gruesome night ahead.
The costume:
A zombie party is the one social occasion where the idea is to turn up looking your worst! In fact it’s advised that you throw your zombie party while having gone several days without washing or brushing your hair with wrinkled or torn clothes.
The Ambience:
Scare your guests before they have even entered your house. Use these decorations to turn your yard into a graveyard and rope off your yard with party tape and signs that say “Beware of Zombies”.
Inside the house, more important than decoration is the scene setting. Dim the lights, use candle lights wherever possible and low voltage or colored lights for the rest of the house. Use a fog machine by the front door so guests feel they are entering the undead zone.
It is also a good idea to stick faces or words on your mirrors in small rooms such as the bathroom or coatroom so they see a gruesome sight as soon as they walk in. This bloody “beware” mirror cling is a great choice.
Leave your TV on all night it on silent playing zombie films. Keep the haunting noises going with a scary soundtrack. Add bloody gauze as a table cover. Serve food and drinks on it.
The drinks:
There is no better cocktail for a zombie themed party than the brain hemorrhage. This is a great visual drink that your fellow zombies will love!
1 oz. Peach Schnapps
1 tsp. Bailey's Irish Cream®
1/2 tsp. Grenadine
1 tsp. Bailey's Irish Cream®
1/2 tsp. Grenadine
First, pour in the peach schnapps, and then slowly pour in the Irish Cream. Do not mix! The cream will clump together and settle at the bottom of the schnapps. Pour the grenadine over the cream for a completely disgusting look, yet completely tasty drink.
Another option is adding fake eyeballs to your ice cube trays so each guest has a frozen surprise staring back at them as they drink. Or you can add two olives to a pick and put in your martini glass so the olives look like eyes.
The food:
Zombie food is one of the easiest ones to get. Just call for take-out and eat the delivery boy!!!
If the delivery boy doesn’t appeal to you, you can always offer a buffet of cold meats to your guests. Add “fresh flesh” signs by the buffet table. Some meats that you can use for fresh flesh are cuts of ham, smoked fish, turkey or roast beef. For the sweet tooth, you can have trays of jello brains or ice-cream with candy worms sticking out.
