18 kids?.... LOL....I have to make treat bags for 30+... LOL....

sorry...

I usually spent like 20-30 dlls in candy... then the bags I either make them from scratch or buy cellophane bags (very cheap by the 100 in candy stores) add china paper and use a sharpie to draw something on it... this year I drawed a spider and used red/blue china (spiderman theme)

I also made the cupcakes (cake)... used white cake mix and add vegatable paint to make it whatever color you want....

or you can get those treat bags they seel at party shops.... but donīt stuff them too much...parents (at least me) donīt let their children eat that much candy and some gets trown away...

what i do after a party is put all candy on the table.. choose which ones are for my kid, which for hubby and which for me... if there are still enough I give some to my parents.... so if you want to save a few buck donīt get too much candy, just enough for ONE kid... not his whole family... itīs a treat not a feast

I knoe this year is just around the corner... but if you need next year i can help you out make some
