Tara, Shelby, and me
My sister Tara and her husband Pete were an amazing help to me. Tara helped me buy some of the decorations, create and name the potions, troubleshoot many things, and decorate for the party. My bro-in-law Pete helped to design the whole outside entrance and decorated it all. They were such huge helps! I didn't get a picture with my parents but they let me borrow a couple storage bins of Halloween decorations of theirs, bought me some decorations, brainstorm ideas, and came an hour early to help set-up. They are wonderful! This party wouldn't have been possible without all their help! Truman was also Mr. Awesome and did all the audio visual, helped me download the music, set up the laptop and projector, and downloaded our Halloween music videos. During the party we showed the 13 minute Michael Jackson's Thriller as well as The Backstreet Boy's haunted mansion music video Everybody. So fun to see this time of year!

My amazing helping friend Cheyenne! She helped me make all the trophies, she painted the BUSTED AT sign, helped me paint the photo backdrop, helped me make the cauldron, and also made awesome wax drippings down the sides of my glassware. She and her hubby Nate were also part of my clean up crew, thank you!
My helper Lauralee and me! She took all the photo backdrop pics, made and refilled punches, refilled water, and helped setup and clean up! What a lifesaver! (She was dressed as Batgirl)
DECORATIONS:
We had the black and white 1931 Dracula projected up on the screen on the stage
I spy Truman and me...
There were a lot more decoration set up at the party that I didn't get a picture of, sadness! There seemed to be a million last minute details and then it started and I was busy hosting. There were also tons of awesome outside decorations which I didn't get pictures of :(, but I guess that means I'll just have to do it all again next year! Lesson learned!
One of the decorations I am most proud of that I made:
Witch's cauldron and coals
