My Darlings,
There’s an outdated saying within the plus-size kitty modeling world: “Go massive or go house,” and I take that phrase to coronary heart in terms of internet hosting events. I would like my friends to be speaking about them for years to return.
Being a well-known feline supermodel, I’ve hosted many Halloween shindigs in my time, and I’ve nearly a decade of party-planning expertise. In that vein, listed here are the 4 important parts of a profitable feline Halloween social gathering.
1. Invites
First issues first — the invites. Within the digital age, e-vites and group invitations by way of Fb are acceptable; nevertheless, I’m a little bit quaint. I desire paper invites. Do what I do, and ask your assistant to design you a customized invite.
Don’t neglect to incorporate all the pertinent particulars, like date and time, location, the right way to RSVP and, most significantly, the gown code.
2. Meals

As you possibly can inform by my husky girth, meals is EXTREMELY necessary to me. Catering is all the time an choice, in fact, however in case you are fortunate sufficient to have an in-house chef/gravy preparer (I do), spend a while with them brainstorming enjoyable Halloween-themed drinks, hors d’oeuvres and desserts.
I begin scouring connoisseur cat culinary magazines months beforehand, and that is what I’ll be serving this 12 months. Be happy to riff on any of those concepts.

“All people have enjoyable tonight. All people Wang Chung tonight.” Why, sure, I did simply quote considered one of my favourite social gathering songs. It’s on the Halloween combine I plan to play this 12 months, together with a number of cat-themed songs, in fact.
Music is completely key to a profitable social gathering, so take the time to construct a superb playlist with upbeat songs to get ever furry feline tail twitching.

Set the stage in your social gathering with Halloween decorations. I like spooky silhouettes, and in case your assistant is useful with a paring knife, have her carve at the least one applicable jack-o-lantern. My assistant is at the moment working onerous on ours as we communicate!
Cats prefer to work together with their house, so it’s necessary to take that under consideration. Make your decorations accessible, and dangle streamers from the ceiling to encourage swatting and play. Additionally, arrange your DIY silhouettes in order that cats who love shadows can watch them for hours.
Lanterns are additionally an effective way to boost a spooky temper, however don’t neglect to show down the lights.
