The last word I want to say to you guys is “Happy Halloween”! Wish you have a wonderful day!

Boo! I love you. Will you marry me?

Looking for a perfect time to surprise your loved one with an engagement ring? Why not try Halloween? It will probably be the one day least suspected by your significant other to hold such a romantic surprise. But, it can be a very fun way to present that diamond in a way that has your loved one seeing sparkles as well as spiders.

The Perfect Setting

A Halloween party is a great way to mask a proposal as there are plenty of witnesses and lots of scary jewelry and costumes. She will never be able to guess where you hid that diamond ring and there are plenty of ways to do it with some fun games that can involve a blindfold that gets removed at just the right time to reveal the engagement ring. You can even slip the ring on the stem of a ghoulish drink you hand her at just the right time.

Celebrating the Engagement

Halloween parties make great engagement parties too. If you both are in on the secret, you can dress up as a dead bride and groom and then announce the engagement to your guests. It will add a very special highlight to the Halloween party and make for a memorable occasion. You can even add some cute signs to your costumes saying: “Struck down by love” or “Shot by an arrow through my heart.” While humorous, they can give your guests a hint that this is not an ordinary Halloween party.

Pass Out Some Ghoulish Wedding Invitations

If you’ve planned this far ahead, you can even use the party to save some money on stamps. Just hand out the ghoulish wedding invitations and let them know when the special date will happen. Remember to keep one and take lots of pictures during the party. These types of mementos can be really great to look at years down the line. Imagine looking at these photos with your kid when you are a happily married old, gray, couple. It will be a delight and a treasure for the family for years to come.

Doing the Creepy On the Cheapy

Short on cash this Halloween? Well, you’re not the only one in bad economic times. But, it doesn’t mean you have to ban Halloween from the house and turn off the lights October 31st to save money. There are plenty of ways you can still do Halloween; it just takes a little more imagination and a little attention to your budget. Even if you don’t have everything you need right in your house, you can learn to get loans of Halloween goods from friends, buy only inexpensive items, and use old items that you have lying around the house to make some fantastic Halloween decorations.

Borrowing From Your Buddies

Don’t let this option escape you, especially with so many people who have tons of decorations and trash lying around in their garages. Why not host a “Halloween trade meet-up” with your friends and have some fun while going over some old decorations and fun new ideas? You might find your friends are equally as sick of having the same decorations shown on their lawn year after year and can’t wait to trade or loan theirs out in exchange for some of your old things.

Inexpensive Items

Buy some spider webbings, some black and orange spray paint, some plywood, and some old thrift store dolls. You can make some really ghoulish home-made lawn and home decorations and your kids will have a blast to boot! Just cut the plywood into grave markers, add some spider webs to trees, carve a pumpkin, add some stuff broken dolls, or use spray paint on items to make them more in line with your theme.

Old, Broken, Items

Anything that is broken, in disrepair, or just plain spooky looking can be used to make lawn and home Halloween decorations. You can take old sheets and make goblins, old clothing can become a scarecrow with just a bale of hay, and if you want them doing something, you can have them running the old broken down lawn mower, complete with webs and fake dead squirrels under the wheels.

Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nuts, mix gently to combine. Pour into an ungreased 9″ x 13″ pan, bake for 30-40 minutes, until the cake is golden brown. It should be pulling away from the sides of the pan a bit, and will spring back when lightly pressed. Remove from oven and let cool at least an hour before frosting.

To prepare frosting: Beat cream cheese and room temperature butter with powdered sugar and PURE VANILLA EXTRACT until well blended and fluffy. Add a bit more powdered sugar if a stiffer frosting is desired. Spoon the frosting onto the center of the cake and spread toward the edges until the cake is evenly frosted. If you want to be really decadent, the frosting recipe can be doubled for extra thick icing, a real kid pleaser.
