Here we go again with the double entendres. Are we talking about Apple as a company, as in technological devices; or are we referring to the good old fashioned piece of fruit that, supposedly, keeps the doctor away when consumed once a day?
Apple—The Company
Having a party that could be labeled ‘All Things Apple’ could be started with Halloween invites in the shape of a laptop (with the obligatory apple on the front) that, when opened, resembles an open laptop with the party information printed on the ‘screen’ and a ‘keyboard’ fashioned on the bottom page. Costumes and decorations could represent all things computer or social technology related: i.e. laptops, iPads, iPhones, Facebook, apps, etc. Now when you start talking about apps, you open up a whole new area of concepts. Games! Angry Birds and other such games have taken the world by storm. Need an idea? Google the Apple App Store and just look around.
The Apple of My Eye
Used to be that no Halloween party was complete without a good old fashioned game of ‘Bobbing for Apples’. Personally, I find it repulsively unhygienic…but so much fun that I can’t resist a shot at it! A Halloween apple pie can be created by throwing a bit of orange food coloring on the topping crust and lightly using some black or bright yellow frosting to fashion the face of a jack-o-lantern. Your invites could even resemble a big apple with the face of a jack-o-lantern ‘carved’ into it, rather than a pumpkin. Of course you’ll need to decorate with as many variations of apples as the mind can ever conceive of and someone is going to be required to dress like an apple. (If it’s not a kids party Ada and Eve could be worked in at some point.)
Lastly we have…The Big Apple. All things New York. Now that’s easier than anything. Just make sure not everybody comes as the Statue of Liberty!
