My Darlings,
There’s an outdated saying within the plus-size kitty modeling world: “Go huge or go house,” and I take that phrase to coronary heart in terms of internet hosting events.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 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 parts of a profitable feline Halloween celebration.
1. Invites
First issues first — the invites. Within the digital age, e-vites and group invitations through Fb are acceptable; nonetheless, I’m slightly quaint. I desire paper invites. Do what I do, and ask your assistant to design you a customized invite.
Don’t neglect to incorporate the entire pertinent particulars, like date and time, location, learn how to RSVP and, most significantly, the gown code.

As you possibly can inform by my husky girth, meals is EXTREMELY vital to me. Catering is at all times an choice, in fact, however if you’re 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.

Music is completely key to a profitable celebration, so take the time to construct playlist with upbeat songs to get ever furry feline tail twitching.
When you’ve received the temper music coated, you’ll want further leisure, and I’m an enormous fan of tabletop video games. Cat-Opoly is a basic that’s assured to get your celebration rolling.

Set the stage on your celebration with Halloween decorations. I like spooky silhouettes, and in case your assistant is helpful with a paring knife, have her carve a minimum of one acceptable jack-o-lantern. My assistant is at present working exhausting on ours as we converse!
Cats prefer to work together with their area, so it’s vital to take that into 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 a good way to reinforce a spooky temper, however don’t neglect to show down the lights.
