UKCCA Halloween Party Project

UKCCA Halloween Party Project

Introduction

Halloween is one of the most interesting and attractive events for people all around the United Kingdom, and has become a big business (Boreland, 2013). Therefore, throwing a Halloween party is one the greatest ideas for event organizing businesses. This report provides an idea for an attractive Halloween party and presents the projections for costs, projected profit, and break-even for the event. Thus, this report presents the ideas and projections to the UK Centre for Carnival Arts for a profitable Halloween party.

Setting the Scene

The idea for Halloween party is to celebrate the spooky season with a dinner party featuring an autumnal table, grown-up treats, and just a few tricks. Setting a scene that represents a spooky Halloween theme is really critical yet essential. This will include creating a ghostly good time with few party scenes and themes, carving pumpkin, and laying the table with Halloween menu. Thus, we will create a spooky scene for our Halloween party, and creation of such scene will include various themes and settings.

The themes and settings that we will create for having a spooky night for our Halloween include giving an eerie glow to the room by using strobe effect DJ disco lights and smoke fog effect machines that will be find from most department stores. So, a room will be decorated with spooky material: Halloween fright tape, ceramic pumpkin candle holder with tea light, hanging skeleton, revenge of the mummy door gore, bloody curtains, ragged witch with sound and movement, and bone head talker with speech and lightning eyes. Furthermore, commercially available music CDs, particularly tapes of spooky sounds like sinister laughter, a door creaking, and a dog howling will be bought and used to have more spooky effect on our guests (Gray, 2004).

Some classic Halloween tricks can also be used in the party, such as putting some cold spaghetti in a bowl and pretending its blood and guts. In addition, placing a bunch of peeled grapes in jars for pretending them as a collection of eyeballs will also be effectual. Besides the room scene setting, it will be requested to guests to come up with a scary costume. Walking like zombies or acting like witch while having Halloween mask, dancing and singing witch hat, and flashing swords will be more enjoyable. Thus, these settings and arrangements must be followed to set a spooky Halloween night scene in UKCCA's party.

Cocktail Party Essentials & Fiendishly Good Menu

An awesome and unique Halloween party is impossible without a mouth-watering cocktails and food menu. Therefore, organizing a good cocktail party as well as delicious feast is really essential. I have decided to provide some light start-up to our guests before going for buffet. The start-up / refreshment will include teas & filter coffee, orange juice, mini cakes, fruit basket, and off-course mineral water that will be really needed after shouting due to scary settings and scenes. So, these items will serve as start-ups and cocktails party ...
