Ahoy, mateys! Have you seen the show One Piece? If so, great, because that's our theme this year! If not, don't worry about it, because it's basically just pirates!
Get ready for: Fun! Food! Friendship! Grog! Devil fruits! Hidden treasure! Jolly Rogers! Incredibly annoying pirate accents! And more!
P.S. Please no Johnny Depp costumes...
When: October 30th, 5:00 - 10:00ish
Where: The Millers place on Wisconsin State Rd. 78 (see parking info below)
Why: Scurvy fun!
Parking at our place is highly limited, but don't worry! As per usual, there will be transportation between the Park & Ride on Highway 12 and our house. The shuttle/party bus will run between 5:00 and 10:00 pm.
Please park at the Park & Ride; the parking in our driveway will be limited to accessible parking only. But feel free to drop off/pick up passengers at the house whenever!
The shuttle will be running between the party and the Park & Ride regularly throughout the night (it takes less than five minutes to get to our house, so your wait shouldn't be long!).
Yes! Please do. Our Halloween party began as a way to stay warm while trick-or-treating with our kids and our friends. Be aware, your child will DEFINITELY eat a bunch of candy while they're here. Also, real talk, make sure to supervise younger kids closely - our house is surrounded by hundreds of acres of woods, and there's also a (fairly) deep pond in our backyard. That said, this is a party for everyone. You do NOT have to have kids to come! Again, PLEASE DO NOT STEAL CHILDREN AND BRING THEM TO OUR PARTY.
I mean, you don't HAVE to do anything. We'll be happy to see you either way, but dressing up is definitely encouraged. Don't worry about being on theme; we love to see all kinds of awesome costumes! If you're on the fence, know that your costume is an automatic conversation starter with other guests. And if you haven't seen One Piece and want a quick costume idea, just dress like a pirate!
We provide everything you'll need to have a good time (snacks, desserts, pizza., etc.) We'll also have vegetarian options and do our best to put ingredients lists out for all food. If you have a question about what is in something, just ask us! On the alchohol side, you can expect: beer, pre-made cocktails, and spirits (spooky, right???). On the non-alchoholic side, you can expect fizzy water, juice boxes, soda, and flat water. There is no expectation that you bring anything, but if your Midwestern sensibilities compel you, we'll gladly accept and celebrate what you bring (even Malört). Likewise, if you want to eat or drink something specific, bring it! We won't be offended.
The show must go on! If it is nice out, we'll be indoor/outdoor. If it's miserable out, we'll be indoor/indoor. There'll be a temperamental propane heater on our porch; Ben will do his best to make sure it actually works this year! Either way, we'll have fun, I promise!
