Need help planning the details? Here’s your guide to hosting a spooktacular Halloween party!
Costume Contest
One of the best parts of Halloween is the costumes. Coming as your favorite character or showing off a creative costume makes a Halloween party more fun. Encourage guests to come in their best costumes and offer prizes for unique categories. Have guests vote for the most creative costume, best couples or group costume, best homemade costume, scariest costume, funniest costume, or come up with your own categories.
Tally up the votes and announce the winners in an award show format. Offer fun prizes like medals or trophies, small trinkets, toys, and stuffed animals. And don’t forget to get pictures of the winners!
Set the Scene
A Halloween party is nothing without the decorations. Be sure to set the scene with the right decor. First, you have to think of the theme of your party.
For spooky, creepy parties, place cobwebs and spiders in the corners. Get bubbling caldrons and fog machines to give off a haunted atmosphere. A darker color scheme will be the best for this type of party. The Halloween box from Yellow Bliss Co. would be perfect for the table setting and for eating all the creepy snacks and food.
Or go less spooky, more fun for kids’ party. Decorate with pumpkins and friendly ghosts. Opt for a lighter color scheme with more oranges, greens, and lighter colors. Yellow Bliss Co.’s Autumn box would be a great addition.
Creepy Games
The right games and activities will ensure all your guests will have a good time. For kids, try zombie eyeball toss, a skeleton bone dig, or a pumpkin putt-putt. Adults can enjoy Halloween-themed drinking games, a murder mystery, or a werewolf hunt. Both kids and adults will love a scavenger hunt, bean bag toss, and karaoke. Have a variety of games throughout the party that guests can take turns playing and space some of the larger group games throughout the night so everyone can take part.
