Princess Halloween Party Prep

Preparation comes first: carving pumpkins, hanging decorations and setting out treats, each a short task with its own tools. The costume stage follows, with themed gowns, capes, masks, wings and face paint.

Doing the preparation before the costume gives the evening a shape and means the outfit lands at the end rather than the start. The decorations also set a palette the costume can pick up. Seasonal, cheerful and a good longer session for younger players.
