With Halloween around the corner, it's time to get into the spirit of everything creepy and spooky! Halloween parties are the best way to celebrate this amazing holiday and month, whether you are a fan of the fall leaves, trick-or-treat, candies, costumes, or spooky decor. If you are planning on hosting an adult Halloween party, then first of all it is the best decision ever. Now all you need to do is start preparing for one. But don’t worry we have you covered over there… everything from invitations to games, we have the best tips to help you host the best Halloween party ever!!
Are you planning a cute costume party with some spooky drinks and snacks or a full-blown creepy adventure? Decide your theme and then you can plan your Halloween decorations accordingly.
Jack-o-lanterns, cobwebs, and cute ghost costumes are perfect for a lighthearted and cute Halloween party whereas if you want to go all out on the spookiness then go for zombies, witches, and skeletons to create the ultimate decor. You can choose to pick the best of both and create a mildly spooky decor for your party.
Set the mood for your party with the spookiest party invitations! Depending on the theme of your party, you can keep your party invitations either fun and a little scary with vibrant colors like orange or yellow, or go for black invitations that give the spookiest vibes. You would want to give details about the party and especially about the costumes so that your guests know what they are getting into!
Any house party needs party decor and you know how expensive they can get sometimes. Finding the right decor can really amp up your party and give your guests the complete Halloween experience. So, if you want the best and also the cheapest spooky decor, then you better hurry up. Go to your local thrift store and you will surely find some cheap but amazing Halloween decor. Try to find some cool things like a scary candle holder, mirror, cobwebs with spiders stuck on them, and other props to create the perfect Halloween atmosphere!
Yes, the party is happening inside but decorating your entryway with spooky decorations is a great way to announce to the world that you are all set for your Halloween party. Guests will be really excited to see that you went all out when they see a spooky entryway and plus they won’t have to guess if they are at the right house! You don’t have to take too much effort just go for something as simple as a few scarecrows or jack-o-lanterns or maybe even a fog machine if you really want to have the best Halloween party in town!
A party without any games? No one wants that, right?! You might want to come up with some fun, engaging, and scary games or activities to make your party the talk of the town. Like say, you can play “don’t say Halloween” with the guests. Just clip a pin or tag to each guest and tell them that they can’t use the word Halloween throughout the party. If someone says Halloween then the person who caught them gets the clip/tag. The person with the most number of pins at the end of the party wins!
You can even come up with trick-or-treat but with alcohol. Basically, you just make a tray of jello shots or any other drink but only some of them should have alcohol. Pass around the tray and see which guest is lucky enough to get the treat (alcohol)!
No party is complete without some delicious food. But for a Halloween party obviously, your food not only needs to be delicious but also look scary!
You can bring out all your creativity here or maybe even get some help from a caterer to come up with a menu. Some fun and easy ideas are ghost cupcakes (chocolate cupcakes with cream frosting on top that looks like a ghost), boozy Halloween punch, spaghetti and meatball brains, and cake filled with strawberry preserve that makes it look like it is bleeding. You can actually turn any meal into a Halloween-themed one by just getting a little creative with the ingredients.
What’s a Halloween party if you didn’t dance until dawn?! So, make sure you have your playlist ready well in advance to get your guests grooving to the spookiest and bloodiest tracks. There are some amazing Halloween-themed songs out there that are just perfect to create the most spooky vibe ever. If you do need some inspiration, then check out our Halloween playlist that has some of the best tracks.
Who does not like gifts, right? Your guests would love to leave with a bag of Halloween goodies that would remind them of your scariest party! Just grab a cute and scary bag and add a few candies and maybe a masquerade mask, vampire teeth, or maybe some fake blood pendants?! This is where you can get all your creativity out and live up to the Halloween spirit!
