    If you choose the costume party, send a dress code two weeks ahead and offer easy options such as cat ears or a cape.

Ways to use this wheel

  • Spooky or sweet: spin twice, one scary idea and one cozy one, so every guest has something they enjoy.
  • Pumpkin patch photo day: bring props and make a group photo the birthday keepsake.

The birthstones for October are opal and tourmaline, and the flowers are the marigold and the cosmos. Orange, black and deep purple are natural colors.
