Who Says St. Patty's Isn't a Holiday?

       We might not be Irish, but that doesn't mean that here at Halloween Adventure, we can't enjoy St. Patrick's Day! In fact, we adore the holiday - you know us, we'll take any excuse to get dressed up! Even better, we'll take any excuse to deck the halls. In our case, that means purchasing a whole bunch of green decorations, like this St. Patrick's Day Bunting Garlandas well as a variety of other decorations for the specifically St. Patty's day themed section of our site.  
        Our favorite costume is an Adult Leprechaunoutfit with an oversized head. Don't worry, the headpiece has see-through mesh eyes, so you won't be stumbling around like a blind man. You will, however, be attracting the attention of all those around you in your fantastically realistic looking getup! Trust us, this is one HILARIOUS outfit you can't afford to miss! 

 
      Girls can take part in the fun as well with our fabulously greenLeprechaun Child Costume. This outfit isn't too over the top, so she could wear it to school or to a party at her friend's house and feel totally fabulous. It includes a green dress, black jacket, and leprechaun belt and matching hat. Voila, you've gone green! Boys will love our funny (and way more over the top) version! This yellow and green confection is PERFECT for the class clown- it even includes a hilarious beard! The hat and the outfit are all there. It's the best way to celebrate while still having a good time.  Even toddlers can get in on the fun withthis comfy adorable green outfit! It includes a little green velvet jacket, with matching hat and belted detail. Perfect for the tot who loves to play dress up!  Go off and hunt for the gold at the end of the rainbow! We'll see you there!

Time to Get Ready for St. Patty's Day!


Planning a Saint Patrick's Day Party!


Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Shamrock Decorations
  • Green Cookies And Candy
  • Green Shamrock Mylar Balloons
  • Irish Beers
  • Movies
  • Green String Lights
  • CDs Of Irish Pub Songs
  • Lime Jell-O®
  • Green Balloons
Step1
Think green and silly when it comes to decorations. Put up green cutouts of shamrocks and leprechauns on the walls and in the windows. Blow up a few dozen green balloons and pile them into corners.
Step2
Tie a few green mylar shamrock balloons to the front of the house or the front gate and screw a green "party" lightbulb into the outside light so that your guests will know where the party is.
Step3
String green Christmas tree lights (available year-round via the Internet) across the ceiling.
Step4
Place a big rock (or fake papier maché rock) right inside the entrance with a sign that says, "BLARNEY STONE - KISS FOR GOOD LUCK."
Step5
Pass out "Kiss me, I'm Irish" buttons to your guests as they arrive. Make everyone wear them.
Step6
Create a table of green munchies, including green cookies, green M&Ms and chips with guacamole (See "How to Make Food Green for St. Patrick's Day," Related eHows). Serve them out of green plastic leprechaun hats.
Step7
Set tables with green tablecloths, napkins and cups and sprinkle shamrock confetti on tables and other flat surfaces.
Step8
Serve both a traditional Irish beer (such as Guinness) and a cheaper light beer that you can dye green with food coloring; don't forget the green Jell-O shots!
Step9
Hold a limerick contest - after people have had a few drinks - and award a silly prize to the winner.
Step10
Buy a CD of classic Irish pub songs and have it playing in the background and/or rent the horror movie "Leprechaun" and have it playing (with the sound muted) on your TV.

Deck the Halls with Love!

Deck the halls with love and romance!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and we're thinking that if you're anything like us, you still haven't finalized which sexy costume you'll be wearing! Many people think costumes are just for Halloween, but we find costumes so fun that we can't resist wearing them on other holidays as well. Valentine's Day is one of these holidays - and we've found many sexy and sassy costumes on Halloween Adventure's website. Jam packed with all kinds of costumes and props, Halloween Adventure has everything a Valentine's Day lover could ask for. Skip the average chocolate and card routine and do something different. Spice it up!
In the past, we've sported the usual costumes, but this year, we're trying something new. We've been a love bug and a cupid, but this Valentine's Day, we're going to be a Hollywood starlet! This sexy and sultry red silk dress screams screen siren - and there's nothing better than that, especially when you want to give your man something to be thankful for! With a sequin garter and a faux fur stole, this is a costume that can't be beat in the sexy department.
That is, unless you're into uniforms. In that case, we'd recommend you take a look at the Ally Catraz Costume - jail never looked so good! A hot orange mini dress that zips and unzips to leave as little or as much to the imagination as you please; this costume is sure to get your gentlemen's engine revving. This naughty girl has been bad, and she needs to be tamed! Take her out of jail and into the bedroom and give your guy a Valentine's night he'll never forget!

Looking for other options? Check out even more sexy costumes here, and take home the gold medal for sassiest wife around on Valentine's Day.
