]]>Bag of Jellybeans: Such a Sweet Costume
Take a large clear garbage bag and cut arm and leg holes. Get a bag of multi-colored balloons and blow them up. Stand inside the bag, and fill the bag with the balloon "jellybeans." Just look out for those party goers who want to "pop" your jellybeans!
Person in an Old Black and White Photo
It's easy to dress up like a person in an old black and white photo; all you need to do is wear vintage black and white clothes, then paint your skin a cool shade of gray. If you want to take this costume to the next level, dress up like your favorite black and white movie star.
Person in a Hurricane
This is a good costume for someone who decides to celebrate Halloween at the last minute. Grab your umbrella, flip it inside out and then slick back your hair like you're caught in a wind storm. Tell everyone you're a person caught in a hurricane!
Starbucks Rainbow Drink Girls
Ladies who plan to attend a party with a few friends will enjoy this costume. Have your girlfriends all dress in a different colored dress. Use a headband and green card stock rolled into a cylinder to create a "straw" to wear on your head. Also, use the green card stock to print a large copy of the Starbucks logo to pin on the dress.
If you're planning on hosting the party, you'll want to make an impression on your guests by inviting them to the best apartments in Flagstaff, Arizona. At Highland, there are five different floor plans to choose from, with studio, one-, two-, three-, or even four-bedrooms. Contact us today to see which floor plans are available.

Erin go Bragh! St. Patrick’s Day is coming up fast, and we’re ready to get our green on! Unlike Kermit’s classic song, it IS easy being green when it comes to St. Patrick’s Day … from green clothes to green food and drink, we love this fun and festive holiday! Flagstaff loves it, too, and has a ton of great ways to celebrate when St. Patrick’s Day comes to town on March 17th!
Southside Tavern’s St. Patty’s Day Bash
Enjoy green drinks, corned beef and cabbage, and more when Southside Tavern’s doors open at 3:00 pm! There will be music, dancing, t-shirt giveaways, and more!
Collin’s Irish Pub
Well this is an obvious choice! Head on down to Collin’s for a real Irish celebration. Festivities will include Irish dishes, green drinks, and The Knockabouts, a Flagstaff-based Celtic band.
Uptown Pub
This St. Patrick’s Day celebration will feature Flagstaff’s newest Irish band, The Trouble With Whiskey. Uptown is promising fantastic specials and a ton of great entertainment!
Mia’s Lounge St. Patrick’s Day Celebration
Doors open at 9:00 pm for this jamboree! Enjoy live music from Andy See and His Swinging Jamboree. Hit the dance floor and enjoy a great time.
Of course, you don’t have to go out to enjoy a fun St. Patrick’s Day in Flagstaff. Invite friends over for a Green Jamboree of your own! Hang green décor, and don’t forget the shamrocks. Play Celtic music and have a dance contest! Serve green drinks (we love this Homemade Shamrock Shake recipe!), food (break out the corned beef and cabbage, or get cheesy with some green eggs and ham), and desserts (hello, pistachio pudding). Have a limerick off! Watch movies: The Departed, Gangs of New York, Leprechaun, and The Secret of Kells all top our list!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

]]>The post Go for the Gold: Throw an Awesome Grammy Party! appeared first on Highland Village Apartments Blog.
]]>
The Grammys are coming! The Grammys are coming! It’s the biggest night of the year for music, and you can be part of it from the comfort of your own home. Of all the annual award shows the Grammys are probably our favorite: it’s like an amazing concert from all the hottest artists in the industry! Not only that … the Grammys are also an excuse to throw an elaborate show. And we’re not just talking about on TV. What better reason to gather friends and family for awesome food and music than a Grammy party?
Here are some award-worthy tips for making your Grammy Award party “sing”:
Rock the Casbah
The Grammys are a big night for music … So how can you even imagine celebrating without a rockin’ playlist?! Power up your cellphone, laptop, or tablet and make a playlist of all the nominated tracks. Not sure who’s up for an award? You can find the full list of nominees here. Pick your favorite artists or categories and download the nominated tracks. (And we’re talking legally here, folks … remember, piracy is NOT cool, no matter what Jack Sparrow may say.) Pre-party with your favorite songs, and you’ll dance even harder when they take home the gold!
Dress to Impress
Come on, guys … This is the Grammys we’re talking about! Don’t leave the dressing up to the nominees. Break out your fancy dress and celebrate in style! Make your Grammy Awards party a dress-coded affair with everyone arriving in outfits worthy of the red carpet. Or, have your guests come in character. Invite your guests to dress as their favorite Grammy-nominated star. Bonus: Have special party favors for guests dressed like the actual winners! When their performer wins, have the guest dressed liked the winner give their own little award speech during the commercial break, and make sure everybody gives them a solid round of applause.
Deck the Halls
Turn your living room into the red carpet, or a pre-show dance club. It’s all about the glitz and glamor, so go all out. Head to the Dollar Store, Party City, or Michael’s for all the decorations you’ll need. Black and gold are the traditional colors of the Grammys, but don’t feel the need to limit yourself to those colors. Take cues from the nominees’ albums and music videos. Have goody bags for all your guests, and special snacks and appetizers fit for the occasion!
Pass the Mic
Encourage the celebration of music with plenty of song and dance. We’re talking about making sure there’s plenty of room to dance around … and a karaoke machine. Find the karaoke version of nominated songs on YouTube and share in a little friendly competition with your friends by performing your best live versions of the songs!
Fun and Games
No party is complete without plenty of fun and games. Beside karaoke, have print outs of the nominees and challenge your friends to pick the winners before the awards start. Have a prize for the winner. Remember the costumes you’re all wearing? Have a prize for best dressed, or the person who best emulates their musical icon. Create a custom party hashtag and have your friends share their photos from the party to Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter all night to share all the fun you’re having! (Hint: Follow and tag us on Instagram as you post! We’d love to see your photos, too!)
Follow these tips and you’ll be sure to have a blast before, during, and long after the awards! Tune in to the Grammy Awards on Monday, February 15th, at 8ET/5PT on CBS!
