Nobody threw a Halloween shindig like Tabs — fancy cat costumes, spooky snacks, particular appearances from top-tier expertise, together with Tabs. Actually, Heidi Klum stole the concept for her spooky soirees from him. Right here’s a glance again at a typical Halloween 🎃 and all of the prep Tabs often did.
My Darlings,
There’s an previous saying within the plus-size kitty modeling world: “Go massive or go dwelling,” and I take that phrase to coronary heart in terms of internet hosting events. I would like my company to be speaking about them for years to come back.
Being a well-known feline supermodel, I’ve hosted many Halloween shindigs in my time, and I’ve virtually a decade of party-planning expertise. In that vein, listed below are the 4 important elements of a profitable feline Halloween celebration.
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 overlook to incorporate the entire pertinent particulars, like date and time, location, methods to RSVP and, most significantly, the costume code.
2. Meals
As you’ll be able to inform by my husky girth, meals is EXTREMELY essential to me. Catering is at all times an choice, after all, 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 yr. Be happy to riff on any of those concepts.
3. Leisure
“All people have enjoyable tonight. All people Wang Chung tonight.” Why, sure, I did simply quote considered one of my favourite celebration songs. It’s on the Halloween combine I plan to play this yr, together with a number of cat-themed songs, after all.
Music is completely key to a profitable celebration, so take the time to construct a superb playlist with upbeat songs to get ever furry feline tail twitching.
When you’ve received the temper music lined, you’ll want extra leisure, and I’m an enormous fan of tabletop video games. Cat-Opoly is a basic that’s assured to get your celebration rolling.
Additionally, if in case you have room in your price range, rent a reside dangerous. This yr Maroon 5 will probably be entertaining my company as a result of Adam Levine owes me a favor.
4. Decorations
Set the stage to your celebration 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 acceptable jack-o-lantern. My assistant is at present working onerous on ours as we communicate!
Cats prefer to work together with their house, so it’s essential to take that into consideration. Make your decorations accessible, and cling 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 reinforce a spooky temper, however don’t overlook to show down the lights.
No matter you do, have enjoyable. Don’t let your duties as a bunch forestall you from interacting together with your company. Combine, mingle, rub a cheek or two, and make it an evening to recollect.
Have a frightfully fabulous Halloween!
