I found fake mistletoe in the silk flower section at my local craft store, and I borrowed a half-done scarf from a knitter friend, and stuck the needles through the ball of yarn. This was an easy one! I sliced a loaf of bread and put it upside down on the table, then draped it with a string of blue beads. I found a child-size umbrella that was small enough to fit on the table while open, and filled it with four-leaf clovers that I cut out of green cardstock. I picked up some inexpensive salt shakers at the dollar store, filled them with salt, and tipped them over.
A roll of brand new pennies from the bank — all heads up — and a canister of salt finished it off. Living in Kentucky made it easy for me to find two horseshoes, and I mounted them one face up, one face down to pieces of wood with balls of clay. Then I found a tiny bird and frog in the floral section, and placed them inside.
I painted a toy ship black and added a miniature cat on deck. Behind it, I placed a large black cat that I found in the Halloween section at the store.
If it's not Halloween season, try searching the toy section for a stuffed animal instead. I frosted a piece of Styrofoam with royal icing to make a durable fake cake, and put several blown-out candles on it.
I put candles in a candelabra and for a party-safe version of "all lit except one", I made paper flames and taped them to the wicks of all but one candle. I put a pair of brand new shoes so that the table remained clean upside down, and added three silk butterflies I found in the floral department at the craft store.
I have to admit that this one freaked me out a little! I got a small, framed so that the pieces would stay together mirror, then I went against everything I've been taught since childhood and broke it on purpose, by gently hit it in the middle with a hammer. I got some small wooden acorn shapes from the craft store, since it wasn't the right season to find them on a tree. So many fun centerpieces! Since some of them were a little obscure, I created little "good luck" and "bad luck" cards describing each one, and placed them on the tables, displayed in a menu card holder.
I've got these cards all ready to go in a handy printable for you, too. Just download and print our Superstition Party Centerpiece Cards onto white cardstock, cut out, and display. These centerpieces were not only fun to create and shop for, but they ended up being a great way to get guests to mingle.
Everyone at the party traveled around the rooms throughout the night, wanting to see what was on all the tables. It really kept the crowd moving around and everyone got to see everyone else.
The food served at your party should fit the superstition theme as well, and anybody who has ever eaten black eyed peas on New Year's knows that some foods are definitely considered lucky.
For Michelle's party, we gave both lists to the caterers and asked them to come up with dishes that were inspired by the lucky foods, with as few unlucky ingredients as possible. They came up with a wonderful menu that included:. And of course we labeled all the food with signs so that people would know how lucky their meal was! We also concocted a special drink that we dubbed "Lucky 40 Punch" that was a mixture of white grape juice and pomegranate juice, garnished with orange slices.
Besides being full of lucky fruit, it was also very tasty! For the birthday cake, we opted to play up the idea that round cakes are especially lucky, so I created an arrangement of cupcakes that spelled out "40" in several colors of icing. We put them on a round table which made a really great presentation. Tiny chocolate letters spelling out "Happy Birthday" adorned the cupcakes on the edges.
I made them by piping melted chocolate onto wax paper, then sticking them upright in the icing after they hardened. I probably missed some more! And yes, the party was a blast! I was just wondering about the venue. I was married in Briarcliff, Ny at Mansion Hill. Is that it? Corry, sorry, not the same place. But since it looks so similar, your wedding must have been gorgeous!
This reminded me of another party - a luncheon fashion show - that I attended a few years ago and would like to host but I need to find the details, if any are out there. One wore bell bottom jeans with bells sewn on. That's all I can remember right now. They were all creative and funny. If you could point me in the right direction, to the right people, or find where I could find the information, I would be greatly appreciative.
If you haven't heard of this before, maybe with your collective creative minds, you can come up with a kooky fashion show party theme. Thanks, Arnalee Miller. What a fun idea, Arnalee. We'll keep an eye out and if we see or think of any ideas, we'll let you know! Thanks for the great ideas. We are giving my granddaughter who will be 13 on Friday the 13th a superstition party and you had some good information that will be helpful.
Wow, she's turning 13 on the 13th! Have a great party, Marti, and we hope you'll come back and share some ideas and details with us.

You don't have to look far to find horror games — especially considering how many superb titles in the genre have been released this year — but there are certainly some games that are just scary good compared to others. It'd be a shame to lose out on the occasion because you spent time on the wrong game during one of the most superstitious and ominous days of the year, so we've pulled together some of the best games to keep you occupied and terrified on Friday the 13th.
The list certainly wouldn't be complete without Friday the 13th: The Game , and it honestly feels inappropriate to start it with anything other than the multiplayer game that was released earlier in the year. As any horror fan would have noticed by now, the asymmetrical game is based off of the acclaimed Friday the 13th series and pits several Counselors against Jason Voorhees.
Several variations of Jason can be played that take their appearance and relevant traits straight from the movies, and while the Counselors aren't always the exact characters from the franchise, they're pretty much carbon copies of their stereotypes. Friday the 13th: The Game has faced its fair share of issues after launch with the game coming from a small team of developers, but it's got plenty of content on the way with plans to build up the community , and with a physical launch of the game happening on Friday the 13th , now's the perfect time to return to Camp Crystal Lake.
Often compared to Friday the 13th: The Game due to their similar asymmetrical structure and playable horror icons, Dead by Daylight offers more of a fast-paced experience if that's what you're looking for. The game revolves around four Survivors doing their best to avoid one Killer, all of them trapped in a sadistic alternate world by a force known as the Entity.
