Organizing a Halloween party involves spooky decorations like fake cobwebs, pumpkins, and cardboard tombstones. Guests should come in costumes with prizes for the best ones. Food and drinks can include pumpkin treats and creative ice cubes. Visit the library or internet for more ideas.
Throwing a Halloween party is an old tradition. It doesn’t matter if you are an adult or a child; everyone likes to dress up in costume to celebrate this spooky holiday. Almost as much fun is decorating the house to make it look “haunted.” The following are some ideas for organizing a Halloween party.
Make the house spooky inside and out. Hang fake cobwebs from trees and porches, along with a few plastic spiders, mice, and bats. Make or purchase a fake coffin and place it on the lawn with the lid open and a fake corpse inside. Some families even choose to have a live person pretend to be a corpse to scare away the trick-or-treaters!
Every Halloween party needs pumpkins, right? Carve some jack o’ lanterns and place some lighted candles inside – keep them away from cobwebs and other items that light up easily! String orange and black twinkling mini lights all around to add to the effect, and don’t forget the smoke machine! Cardboard tombstones will complete the look.
Keep the interior dark, but light the way with candles, purple and red bulbs, and orange fairy lights. Cover the furniture with white sheets to make it look like a deserted house. Hang cobwebs with spiders on the corners and stuff a pair of jeans and a T-shirt to make them look like a corpse. The black, orange and purple helium balloons can be hung from the ceiling to make the Halloween party atmosphere festive. Don’t forget the spooky music!
The best part about hosting a Halloween party is having guests arrive in costumes. To make sure your guests come out in their own costumes for the Halloween party, arrange for prizes to be handed out to the best waiters. Maybe you can have categories like ‘scariost costume’ or ‘most glamorous costume’, with a big prize for the overall winner. All your guests can vote for their favourites.
You will also need to provide food and drinks for your Halloween party. Some ideas include:
Pumpkin cookies, tarts and bread
Spinach dip inside a squash shell or hollow squash
Chocolate cake in the shape of a witch hat or black cat
Drinks served with ice cubes with plastic bugs or fake body parts frozen inside
For some great ideas for Halloween party fun and games, visit your local library. Books abound with decorating tips, recipes, and things to do. The internet is also a great place to find ideas, many of them inexpensive. Soon you won’t be able to decide what’s more fun, planning a Halloween party or attending one!
