How to Host a Halloween Party… for Dogs

Dogs love fall just as much as we do: brisk walks, hours of snuggles and plenty of leaf piles to jump in. As humans, our favorite part has to be seeing that furry friend all dressed up for Halloween. Since there are already tons of festive costume ideas out there for your pups (see here and here), why not throw a Halloween party for your furry BFF and all their closest canine friends? Call up the gang, bust out the treats and use these tips to host the cutest Halloween party ever.

1. Send Your Invitations: Set the tone with creative, adorable and silly invitations for your human and dog guests. You can create your own festive invitations on zazzle (we love this one from evite too), or you can stick with tried-and-true paper invitations. You don’t need to spend a lot on invitations — the concept of a dog Halloween party sells itself.

2. Pick the Perfect Costume: One of the advantages of having a dog is they’re usually pretty cool with wearing a hot dog costume. If you’re going for a low-cost, low-maintenance look, have some fun with it. Our favorite ideas include attaching a heart-shaped “ty” tag to your dog’s collar or picking up a child’s costume from a thrift store and cutting holes where necessary.

3. Get Crafty with Decorations: Create the perfect ambiance with DIY decorations and dim lighting. If you plan on having balloons and streamers, just make sure they’re taped to a place where a dog can’t mistake them for a snack or toy.

4. Plan Your Activities: Whether it’s a costume contest or a create-your-own agility course, all dog-filled activities will be fun for them and super instagram-worthy. Give treats as prizes and make sure to have plenty of spots where they can hydrate between activities. If kids are coming to your party, you can even do dog-themed games for kids.

5. Prepare Pumpkin Dog Treats: High in fiber and full of antioxidants, pumpkin is great for dogs. They may not be able to enjoy pumpkin spice lattes, but they won’t be missing out on their chance to be #basic with some yummy homemade treats. You can even taste test a few with your own dog the day before (try these asiago and apple ones for a variety of snacks).

6. Put Together Party Favors: Send everyone home with a doggy bag of treats, like a small toy, dog treat recipes or even a gift card to a local pet store. We also recommend taking pics of each dog with their parent and emailing them later with a short thank-you note from you and your dog.

7. Get Someone on Camera: Don’t let FOMO prevail in the photo department. Hire a neighbor to take smartphone videos, or coordinate who’s documenting what with other pet parents in attendance. Either way, there’s no way you’re hosting a gathering of dogs in costume without photo or video evidence. Because, cuteness.

Oscar-winner, Michelle Yeoh just opened up to BBC Radio about her struggles with infertility amid her decades-long career. Fertility and motherhood are obviously complex, emotional topics — we've seen plenty of discourse play out in this space the last few months alone — so when Michelle described her inability to conceive as "a failure," our collective hearts broke for her.

Here's what the Wicked star had to say about why she felt like "a failure" — and the unexpected relationship that "blessed" her.

cdn.ex.co

On BBC Radio's Woman's Hourpodcast, Michelle shared her story of infertility — both how it hurt her, but also how she was able to come to terms with it over time. In discussing what she calls a "shattered mirror moment," Michelle explained that her lack of children wasn't for "lack of trying." She said that she loves children, babies, and even has six godchildren, but she simply wasn't able to bear a biological child.

"I believe that it's a woman's choice — it's your choice whether you want to have children, and shouldn't be imposed on you. Just because you're a woman, you should have a child — that should not be the case," she said. "But as a very personal thing, I wanted — I always wanted to have children."

She elaborated that in her first marriage with Sir Dickson Poon, it was a "very clear path about having children." When she couldn't conceive, she went to get fertility treatment "to aid in the process" — and she made it clear that the process was a very painful one for her. When describing her attempts at conception, she said, "And I think the worst moment to go through is every month you feel like such a failure."

"And then you go, why? And I think at some point you stop blaming yourself. I go, there are certain things in your body that doesn't function in a certain way. That's how it is," she continued. "You just have to let go and move on. And I think you come to a point where you have to stop blaming you."

While she may have practically moved on from her dream of carrying biological children — of that, she said, "I'm 62. Of course I'm not going to have a baby right now," — Michelle can't seem to help thinking of it still. She said, "Sometimes, honestly, I still think about it."

Getting to this place of peace and understanding for her fertility scenario came with a series of heartbreaks, though, as Michelle explained this likely ended her first marriage. Although she believed they loved each other, she knew in the next decade of the relationship, she ultimately couldn't give her ex-husband the family that he wanted. Now, she feels like it was "very brave" for the former couple "to admit" that they shouldn't "drag this out."

Thankfully, the end of her marriage didn't mar the love shared there — Michelle said she's actually godmother to Sir Dickson Poon's eldest child. And she even got remarried! Though her new husband, Jean Todt, proposed the very first month they were together, Michelle waited to marry until about 20 years later.

As mentioned before, Michelle is surrounded by plenty of beautiful children in her life — one of which is her granddaughter via her stepson, Nicholas Todt. In regards to that, Michelle noted, "Then you feel you're still very, very blessed because you do have a baby in your life.”

And as for having a little one in her life outside of children? Let's just say she has a golden boy of her own — and yes, I'm referring to the Oscar she won in 2023 for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Needless to say, Michelle is definitely not a failure. 🙌

If you follow along on B+C, you’ve seen and admired our canine model, Turkey Temple (one of my favorite pet names, TBH). He is definitely a turkey by trade but clearly not by species. It seems like an obvious choice, but this was Turkey’s first time dressing up as a turkey for Halloween. Spooky season might be over, but it's *always* a good idea to dress your dog up for Thanksgiving if they don't mind!!

I’ve been making a lot of pet costumes this year, but this one has been high on my list for a long time. With some felt and One-Wrap Velcro, we created this pet costume in no time at all. Does your pet have a goofy name? Try dressing them up as their name, and make sure you snap photos and share them with us on Instagram!

How To Make A Dog Turkey Costume

Tools And Materials:

  • red, orange, yellow and white felt
  • cardboard
  • One-Wrap Velcro
  • pen
  • fabric scissors
  • hot glue gun

Instructions:

1. Draw large, long oval feathers on your yellow felt. Stack the yellow felt on top of the orange felt and cut them both out. Next, draw a curved rectangular shape on the white felt and cut it out.

2. Hot glue the white rectangular shapes to the feathers, then glue the feathers to one another to create a fan shape.

3. Glue a horizontal strip of cardboard to the back of the feathers to help them stand upright.

4. Hot glue a piece of felt to each edge of the feathers and attach a strip of One-Wrap Velcro that is long enough to wrap around your dog’s belly.

5. Cut out a gobble from red felt and attach some One-Wrap Velcro.

Draw 12 long feathers on your yellow felt. Stack the yellow felt on top of the orange felt and cut out your feathers. Cut 12 white curved rectangular pieces to accent the feathers.

Glue the white pieces to the feathers and then glue the feathers to one another into a fan shape.

Attach a long strip of cardboard to the back of the feathers to help them stand up straight once the dog turkey costume is assembled.

Hot glue a piece of felt to each edge of the feathers and attach a strip of One-Wrap Velcro that is long enough to wrap around your dog’s belly.

Draw a gobble onto a piece of red felt, cut it out and glue it to a small piece of One-Wrap Velcro.

Hey Turkey — here’s your turkey costume!

Attach the gobble to your dog by wrapping the One-Wrap Velcro around the collar.

Cutest turkey I ever did see!
