Halloween falls on a Saturday this year – so take advantage
and throw an epic party! Whether it’s a wicked gathering for
adults, or something slightly less spooky for the kids, get inspired and create
an unforgettable event. (BTW, zombies are absolutely EVERYWHERE this year!)
Use
a theme. Whether you’re having a traditional
pumpkin carving/painting party, or an elaborate fancy dress dinner, embrace a
theme for decorating, food and costumes. It gives your guests costume
guidelines and helps you plan the menu & décor. http://www.celebrations.com/c/halloween-party-ideas/all
Decorations
are key. One of the things everyone loves about
Halloween is the decorations. Classic jack-o-lanterns, spider webs and bats. Creepy,
spooky haunted houses. Spine-tingling ghosts and witches. Horrifyingly
realistic body parts. Suddenly ever-present zombies. Whatever you’re planning,
there are plenty of Halloween decorations to suit your taste. http://www.hgtv.com/design/packages/halloween-ideas
Creative
costuming. For people who love Halloween,
planning, making and debuting their costumes every year is better than
Christmas. Kids – and more than a few adults – love dressing up. And your
choices for costumes are endless – pop culture figures, throwbacks to
childhood, timeless witches and goblins, visual jokes & puns. Pick
something you really like and go for it! http://www.punchbowl.com/p/five-themes-for-halloween-costume-parties
A
menu that’s a horror! (Or not.) Are you throwing a
kids’ party? In addition to cupcakes
with orange icing, try quesadillas “carved” like jack-o-lanterns or “bug”
salad! http://www.myrecipes.com/menu/kids-halloween-dinner-menu
For an adult party, try “Frankenstein”
punch, spider web soup or mummified pigs in blankets. http://www.rachaelraymag.com/recipes/special-recipe-collections/halloween/fast-halloween-ideas/
Whether
your Halloween affair is spectral or sparkly, have fun and enjoy yourself!
