Halloween fortune-telling is another great party idea. We had a fortune teller at our 2005 Halloween party.
You don't always have to hire someone to make your party a success. You could get a friend to volunteer for the part of your Halloween fortune-telling.
Most of the people that I know that could play the part, these kids have already seen before so I found someone off of the internet.
What is the basic set up for a Halloween Fortune Telling Party?
The basic setup or main idea is to have an area with some privacy set aside for just the fortune teller and the one being "read".
Not much is needed. Just a table and a small light, a couple of chairs, your reader and, of course, the one being read.
How did we set up our Fortune Teller?
The living room had been decorated for Halloween. All the shelves had Halloween knick knack type items and cobwebs. My desk (which was a total mess - who has a clean desk?) was covered in black plastic and cobwebbed all over.
We put a small card table in the centre of the room along with our high back chair for the teller. The chair was also covered in black plastic (mostly because the flower pattern wasn't going to cut it as scary or solemn). There was another chair on the other side of the card table for the one being "read".
There was a small lamp at the fortune teller's table. We had all our Halloween candles and other weird Halloween lighted objects placed on top of the buffet counter.
The Costume
The costume idea that comes to my mind for a Halloween fortune-telling is an old looking girl with gipsy clothing. Hair grey and sort of fried looking, uncombed, scarf wrapped around the head with lots of scarves tied around the hips and shoulders. Full skirt with a full, loose-fitting blouse. Dangly bracelets around the wrists and big hoop earrings on the ears. Scarves with lots of fringes.
But not all Halloween fortune telling people to need to be old looking. A young gipsy would be good too with red, red lips and dark blue makeup on the eyes. Knee-high boots with a long full skirt. Peasant blouse pulled off the shoulders on the arms. Also dangly bracelets and big hoop earrings. Scarves with lots of fringes.
If your Halloween fortune-telling person is a guy, baggy pants and a swashbuckler type of shirt (loose-fitting), bandana tied on the head and pirate type earrings.
