How to Host a Halloween Vampire Gathering

Video Transcript

"How to host a vampire gathering. Well, I think you first need to decide what kind of vampire you are, or what kind of vampires you're inviting. Let's say if you invite vampires that are very sensitive to lots of things, then of course you'll not want those items around like garlic, or any of the other things like light, details of that nature. So you have to decide what kind of vampires you are so that you can follow that theme with your decorations as well. And you'll also want to think about your invitations. Typically gathering of vampires are held at old mansions or castles or something to that effect. So make sure when you're writing your invitations make sure that you know you give yourself a very fun grand place for your location. Even if it's not a mansion or a castle, let's say it is right? So, after we've got our lovely invitations out and your vampires are on their way, you're going to have to think about how you are going to decorate. So know that you know what vampires are attending. I think for the typical vampire you'll want to make sure that you have lots of candles and candelabras all around the house. Very dim lighting in general I think will give your whole gathering a wonderful vampire ambiance. You'll also want to perhaps go and take all the mirrors with some kind of fabric. You don't necessarily need to take them off the wall, but typically vampires don't show their reflections, so I think it would good to perhaps go around and put fabric maybe of velvet or satin, something of that nature over them as great decorations. Of course anything else as far as you know skull-like you know vampire scary stuff or perhaps you could take it to a more grand you know ball-esque like thing. You know, bring out the good silver and whatnot and have something of that nature going on for your decorations. So once you've got that all setup you'll want to decide what you're doing for entertainment and for your food and drinks. Now, this is where you really want to get creative. There's lots of lovely recipes and whatnots out there for Halloween, vampire, blood-looking punch like, recipe things. So, you'll want to perhaps look up something like that for your punch bowl and do some kind of wonderful blood-like looking punch. Or perhaps some kind of fun you know blood-looking like martinis, would be great for your vampires. Or of course you could just go ahead and do the simple bottle of red wine for everyone. You can find wonderful vampire bottles already decorated with labels. You could perhaps make up your own label. You could even do that with beer, and do something like from True Blood where they have a-positive and o-negative or whatnots types of beers that you can order and some simple food coloring just like we see at Saint Patrick's day with the green beer. You can very easily make all your beer red and have them fun-labeled and be serving specialty vampire drinks. And what better to have serving than a lovely vampire freshly version bit hostess vampire waitress whatnot yes. You yourself could take that look or perhaps invite some of your friends over and they can help you with the serving and whatnot of your pary, of your gathering. And of course virgins are very easy to do. They're always wearing white, so anything white is easy to find out of the closet. And some simple baby powder around the face and of course don't forget the lovely bite. Have them come over and serving the drinks, perhaps the punch some of the food. That would add an excellent vampire atmosphere to your gathering. And of course think about some wonderful favors to give out to your vampires as they leave. What's not good but vampire sun-block in a little container. That's always good as a good favor. Or perhaps a little vampire medallion gift favor whatnot you want to send them off with something fun like that. And then I think you'll have a wonderful vampire gathering."
