Did the roaring 20’s invent the Halloween party as we know it?
The first mass producers of paper holiday decor Dennison Manufacturing shifted society to associate decorations with theatrics & fun that inspired people to host PARTIES!
They published the Bogie Book: a mail-order catalog and inspiration guide for party planners.
These curated guides on decor, hosting and costumes propelled halloween to major social event by the 1920’s. Fast forward 100+ years later, and Halloween is still one of the biggest nights of the entire year.
And this year? Halloween lands on a Friday. If you’re not doing something with this, we need to talk.
