Halloween Party Planning
Are you trying to organize a grown-up Halloween Bash that will be talked about months after your special event? Then look no further than these tips and ideas we’ve compiled for you. From spooky décor and crafts to heavenly pumpkin pie recipes, you’re guests are guaranteed to have fun (sans the little ghouls).
1) Invitations: Halloween is one of the most popular holidays of the year. So make sure everyone will attend your party by sending out invites well in advance. Clearly state any instructions about themes or costumes.
1) Décor: First decide if you want to go cute or creepy and if you want to decorate both the inside and outside or just one or the other. Then check out this Halloween Party Decorating Guide from Country Living (http://bit.ly/c6Y6A7). We recommend the candy cone decorations, the pumpkin greeting, candy corn candles, and Halloween entrance.
2) Desserts: Be festive and serve your guests pumpkin pie! We love the Traditional Pumpkin Pie recipe from Martha Stewart (http://bit.ly/9z8Ysl). If you don’t think you’ll be able to pull off making a pumpkin pie recipe from scratch (and we don’t recommend trying out new recipes without a trial run) make some pumpkin spice cupcakes instead.
3) Party Favors: Don’t let your guests leave empty handed. Make some party favor bags filled with Halloween candy and treats!

The Difference a Card Makes…
Last month, a 90 year old man in Massachusetts posted a flyer on the wall of a Kwik-e-mart asking for people to attend his birthday party. A passerby decided to anonymously post the information online and hundreds of people sent cards to the man (and a few even attended his party!). Later, the birthday boy, William Lashua said “You are everything good in the world. This is even better than any other birthday than I’ve ever had. Thanks for the love.” Mr. Lashua had a birthday he will never forget thanks to a few strangers sending him greetings!

This story is proof that sending someone something like a small card can make a huge difference. Spread the love and send an old friend a hand-made greeting from Love & Luck today – you never know whose heart you will touch.

Adopt a Shelter Dog Month
Alana and I couldn’t imagine our lives without our extraordinary dog Brady. It might sound cliché, but Brady really is a “man’s best friend”. If you’re looking to get a friendly, loyal, and fantastic companion, look no further than a dog. I figured this month – Adopt a Shelter Dog Month – would be the best time to give you more information on getting a dog.
There are many different options to choose from when thinking of getting a pet and animal shelters are a great resource! So head on over to your local animal shelter and give a dog (or cat) a warm and loving home.
For more information on adopting an animal, take a look at this guide from The Humane Society: http://bit.ly/9S93Ii

Small Card, Big Thank You!
There’s nothing we love more at Love & Luck than bizarre and unique Holidays. We just found out today is “Do Something Nice Day” and of course we want to celebrate! Over at the Love & Luck shop, we plan on sending our loved ones greetings to show how much we care about them even if we forget to show it. Take your affection up a notch, and send a card with a handwritten note. Tell your friends and family why they are important to you with a little love, and with any luck they will return the favor someday!
