I would say that silver is unlikely to clash with any Halloween colors, in fact it is close enough in color to fog, smoke, tomb stones etc. that you can incorporate it subtly in those places. If the birthday cake is white, use black light to make it more "in theme" and funky. If there are ...

Sounds like fun, how about organizing one of these on the west coast?
