So you wanna have a party to celebrate everything creepy and kookie and altogether ookie? Good call! Few holidays are more party perfect than Halloween! And here's a slew of tips for making your Halloween bash frighteningly cool!!!!

INVITATIONS:

• If you're hand delivering the invites, buy mini pumpkins (real ones are available at most supermarkets, and faux ones are available at any craft store) and write the party info write on the pumpkin with a black marker! Place it in a plain plastic baggie or little brown lunch bag and tie with an orange ribbon!

• Using cardstock, cut out large candy corn shapes (essentially a triangle with rounded corners), color with orange, yellow and white stripes, add some glitter if you're feeling super fancy, and write the party info on the back.

• Edible invites: Take a round lollipop (Tootsie Roll Pops or Blow Pops work best), cover it with a plain white Kleenex-type tissue and tie a piece of black or orange ribbon around the "neck" (where the lolli meets the stick), and draw "eyes" on the "head" with a black pen . . . you have a Ghost Pop! Pass them out to pals, along with info on your party. PS – Make extras; they're so cute, everyone will want one to save and one to munch on!

• Having a small gathering of friends for Fright Night fun? Raid a 99 cent store for small black cat stuffed animals. Write or, using your computer, print out small cards with all your party info. Attach the cards to the kitties with orange ribbon for a super cool, super cute, super collectible invite!
