Nobody threw a Halloween shindig like Tabs — fancy cat costumes, spooky snacks, particular appearances from top-tier expertise, together with Tabs. In actual fact, 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 normally did.
My Darlings,
There’s an outdated saying within the plus-size kitty modeling world: “Go large or go residence,” and I take that phrase to coronary heart in terms of internet hosting events. I need 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 elements of a profitable feline Halloween occasion.
1. Invites
First issues first — the invites. Within the digital age, e-vites and group invitations by way of Fb are acceptable; nonetheless, I’m just a little quaint. I favor 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, easy methods to RSVP and, most significantly, the costume code.
2. Meals
As you possibly can inform by my husky girth, meals is EXTREMELY essential to me. Catering is all the time 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 gourmand cat culinary magazines months beforehand, and that is what I’ll be serving this 12 months. Be at liberty to riff on any of those concepts.
3. Leisure
“Everyone have enjoyable tonight. Everyone Wang Chung tonight.” Why, sure, I did simply quote one among my favourite occasion songs. It’s on the Halloween combine I plan to play this 12 months, together with a number of cat-themed songs, after all.
Music is totally key to a profitable occasion, so take the time to construct a superb playlist with upbeat songs to get ever furry feline tail twitching.
When you’ve bought the temper music coated, you’ll want further leisure, and I’m a giant fan of tabletop video games. Cat-Opoly is a basic that’s assured to get your occasion rolling.
Additionally, when you have room in your funds, rent a reside dangerous. This 12 months Maroon 5 will likely be entertaining my friends as a result of Adam Levine owes me a favor.
4. Decorations
Set the stage in your occasion 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 the moment working arduous on ours as we converse!
Cats prefer to work together with their house, so it’s essential to take that into consideration. Make your decorations accessible, and hold 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.
No matter you do, have enjoyable. Don’t let your duties as a number stop you from interacting together with your friends. Combine, mingle, rub a cheek or two, and make it an evening to recollect.
Have a frightfully fabulous Halloween!
