A voucher is basically a record that something has been paid, received, or, in effect, vouched for. It is usually a liability, which is something that has not been paid yet but needs to be paid. Vouchers can also be the proof of purchase, such as a receipt or document that shows what the item is and how much it costs.

In business, a voucher is the proof that somebody bought a good or service from the provider. The provider would hold the voucher and the buyer would need to know and see the voucher just in case an issue came up with ownership or purchase of that good or service.

Travel vouchers are another example of widely used vouchers. Travel vouchers tell someone who wants to know how much was spent on travel and how much money is yet to be paid. Once again, a voucher is a piece of proof that shows open liabilities that need to be paid.

Vouchers can also be used by hotels who are going to give away a free night to guests. In this case, the guests would hold the voucher as proof that the hotel owes them a night of stay. Vouchers are not very difficult to understand once you figure out just exactly what they are and how to use them.

Not everyone wants to flaunt their baby belly for Halloween, but if you are game, here are some ideas. A Gypsy costume can be purchased a little larger than you need and cut a hole for your belly. Take some white paint and paint your big belly as to resemble a crystal ball and you can have blue and silver swirls. Glitter will really set it off for that sparkle finish. Then finish with the gypsy makeup and hit the streets of go to the party and be ready to tell fortunes to all that ask.
Have fun with this, after all, next Halloween you won’t have the bump anymore. Another idea is to look like a gumball machine by painting your belly with many colored circles to resemble gumballs. Old dark sweat pants can be the base for your machine and if you are a sewer you can make a dark top for the top of the machine. Use your imagination and be sure to carry gumballs with you
to give out.
One more idea would be a belly dancer. This is a costume that shows up every year. It is very easy to adapt to and you can flaunt you belly if you have the humor to do it. A few finger cymbals and the coin waist belt and you are set.
