(Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) October 17, 2008 --
Want to help your friends let off a little steam about this situation we’re
in and do it on the cheap? Party411™ has the
answer. “Everyone is creeped out
about what is going on with the economy including the Party Girl,”
said Sherri Foxman, CEO of Party411.com, “so
I couldn’t let Halloween go by without
celebrating the scariest thing to happen in decades.”
Here’s a step-by-step plan for a Halloween
party that is budget conscious and has its finger on the pulse of
America.
1. Suggested Invitation Ideas:
Use email. Or, oh gosh, the telephone! Or better yet, download the
Party411™ Stock Certificate or Foreclosure
Notice invitations at http://www.party411.com.
2. Suggested Party Location Ideas:
Use the hallowed halls of a closed bank or empty brokerage
firm office (e.g., Lehman Bros.) that has paid their utilities. Or buy a
house on Ebay for $2.50 and let the party double as a housewarming!
3. Suggested Food:
Government surplus cheese, Subprime Subs, day old bread from your local
bakery outlet and some pork, of course.
4. Suggested Drinks:
Stock your bar with the regulars but rename them just the same.

5. Suggested Décor:
Outside at your entrance create a cemetery with cardboard tombstones for
all of the lending institutions and investment firms that have gone
belly up.
Inside use sticky notes indicating where you would put different décor
items (e.g., jointed skeletons cauldorns, body parts and more) if you
had the money to pay for them.
6. Suggested Photo Opportunity:
Everyone wants a souvenir, so set up some black dowel rods to look like
prison bars and add a sign that says, “Debtor's
Prison.”
7. Suggested Dress:
What’s Halloween without costumes? Suggest
these to your guests.
