The theme was "mad science" so the table had beakers with dry ice putting off foggy mist, test tubes strewn about and wine bottles with POISON labels.
Aaron and I even dressed the part. These were our badges. I got the laboratory invitations, test tube party favors and POISON wine bottle labels from Martha Stewart's line of crafts at Michaels. Here is a shot of the jelly bean filled test tubes with our guests names on them.
Aaron made the cornmeal encrusted goat cheese with warm tomato salsa appetizer. He later served up little petri dishes with green jello in them for an aperitif.
It was a great evening. More pictures of the Halloween dinner party are on My Gallery. Matt took some great pictures too.
Great pictures Jenny! I made sure to get mine up fast too. The slide show is over on my site or just head straight to Flickr (I'll get you a cd of the other 100 or so).

Oh my God, those badges are SO funny! I agree with Spring - I wish you were my neighbor!
ReplyDeleteWonderful execution! The whole look is equally creepy and fun, just the way Halloween should be (methinks). Thanks for posting your photos, they were really inspiring. So much so that I had to blog about them :)
