Hosting a Halloween party this weekend? Want to do something fun for your guests other than a traditional costume contest? How about Costume Voting, instead? You will need Instructions 1) Using any word processing program, make ballots out of a half sheet of paper. Make it theme appropriate with Halloween borders and a spooky font. Print on white cardstock or paper. 2) Create an "example" like the one shown at left. I found Pink Bunny Man on Flickr a while ago, but you can use any photo you'd like. The sillier, the better. Mount it on black cardstock so that it stands out. Attach to the wall with putty, and clip the pen to it, as shown in the top photo. 3) Make a banner, as in top photo. Again, you can use any word processing program...just make sure the font is nice and big! Print on white, and temporarily mount onto back cardstock. Cut a jagged border, then pull off the white layer, offset it from the black, and then permanently reattach to the black layer. This gives you a nice shadow effect. 4) As your guests arrive, take their photo and attach it to a card. Encourage them to create their own superlative awards for others. As the host, be sure you vote for everyone to get the ball rolling. At the end of the night, guests can take their card as a momento of the party!
