Our Bank has a contest every year between the branches for halloween. Each branch picks a theme and decorates and wears costumes. Any ideas for a theme? We were thinking a camping theme, but the costumes are a little boring.

I like the Disco theme. You could have a lot of fun with that one.

I think you should all dress up as BOL Watercooler users. I've got a leather jacket and a baseball glove if anyone wants to borrow them.

Where the wind comes sweeping ...
The breakfast club - everyone come in pjs, robes, fuzzy slippers, etc.

The zoo - get animal ears and noses or use face paints. Use black crepe paper to create cages.

Rhinestone cowboys - western, cowboys, bandanas, hay bales, cut western town storefronts out of cardboard.

Jungle - make palm trees out of green and brown posterboard, wear pith helmets and khaki clothes, could also do a survivor theme with tiki torches.

Brady Bunch or Gilligan's Island - have each person dress as one member of the group

Shipwreck - dress as pirates or shipwrecked people, put a book under one leg of each desk and table so that it looks like the room has been shipwrecked.

Out of this world - dress like aliens or the Jetsons and decorate with tinfoil and flashing xmas lights.

Broadway - Top hats and bow ties, use black butcher paper to make a NYC skyline.

What about the Wizard of Oz? Your employees could dress up as Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, etc. You could make a "yellow brick road" out of poster board or something and have a yellow brick road going into the bank and into the branch manager's office(?) and they could dress up as the Wizard.

haha, yeah, you can all wear those striped scarves! but then, are witches and wizards offensive to some customers? i want to say, without being sure, that certain asian cultures do not celebrate halloween. here in socal we have to be aware of things liek this-- we are so diverse in cultures and races! instead of halloween, my old bank (i was the official seasonal decorator) did autumn, instead of easter, we did spring, instead of xmas, we did winter fun and new years...you get the idea...
