Have you thought of making costume contact lenses part of your Halloween costume this year? Theatrical costume designers have called on the use of contact lenses to transform the appearance of actors on stage and in movies for many years. The eyes are where most of us look first when we meet someone, and simply changing the appearance of the eyes can make an actor seem more handsome, beautiful, dangerous, magical, inhuman, or whatever the designer wishes.

For years, actors have been able to radically change their appearance with contact lenses. Now you can too, and you can have a lot of fun with the idea. If you have your own crazy ideas and are prepared to pay the extra cost, it is even possible to have a custom design made for your contact lens. Just make sure you allow enough time to get the work done for you before your Halloween party.

How would you like to look at your Halloween party this year? You could become almost anyone or anything you want by just inserting tiny and perfectly safe contact lenses in your eyes.

There are two main types of designer contact lenses. The lowest cost, most common and easiest to use are small round discs that sit over the center of your eyes. You can still see through a clear center in almost all cases – one exception is an opaque lens you could wear over one eye to look blind in that eye. All the area around that clear center is available to designers to create all manner of colors and effects.

The second main type of contact lens is the sclero lens, that fits over the whole eye. With these lenses you can change the color and appearance of even the whites of your eyes. Eyes that are red or green all over, for example, can be a very scary and unnatural look, and perhaps exactly what you need for your Halloween party look this year.

HalloweenBoo.comreports that you can look like an animal, for example. A cat, wolf or a reptile look in your contact lens are three very popular Halloween choices, with variations available for you to choose in the colors and shapes of the pupil that people will see. Cat eyes in green, yellow, or even red, are among the most in demand.

You can select alien looks, including contact lenses with movie character themes such as Dune and Vader, or become an out-of-this-world banshee, predator or slither. Unexpected or unnatural color choices are favorites. For Halloween a red eye fits the theme closely. Plain opaque black or icy white eyes can send a chill down the spine of those you meet. There is a vast range of fun colors available now to give you a unique and distinctive appearance.

Contact lenses also come in size variations. The most common are round and fit over the middle of your eye. If you are prepared to pay more and take more time over fitting the lenses, you can choose sclero contact lenses that cover most of your eye. Imagine what you would look like with all of your eye glowing red or green at your Halloween party?

It is more important than ever to watch every dime. This can make it extremely difficult when you enjoy entertaining, but it doesnt mean that you have to stop having people over. It just means that you have to become more creative and find good inexpensive ways to entertain for less.

If you’re trying to save on costs, try creating and printing your own invitations. You can be as creative and wild as you want to be with them, because only your friends will see them. Kinko’s will print them cheaply for you if your printer isn’t up to par. No matter how you proceed with your homemade invitations, your guests are sure to appreciate the personal touch.

Decorations can be an expensive venture, but be creative. There are lots of household items that you can use to decorate. For instance, even just a colored light bulb can quickly change the look of a room. If you really need decorations then bargain shop and get things that you can use again later. Another great idea, you could throw a murder mystery or 70s party, where everyone would come in costume this will help limit how much decorating you will need to do to create the feeling of the theme.

Of course the food is one of the most expensive costs incurred in throwing a party. You must have some food, but there are ways to reduce the cost. If you host your party later in the evening, then guests will have almost certainly already had dinner. That will allow you to only offer desserts or small snacks. Dinner parties can be presented as events where everyone participates and brings a dish. An additional upside of this scenario is that all of the dirty dishes get to go home and you don’t have to wash them.

Just because the economy is struggling doesnt mean that you have to give up on the idea of having a party. Plan it well, keep it simple, and check out all the great information available on the web. You can not only plan a great party, but you can plan it for less $$$ than ever before. Give it a try, you will be glad you did.
