Spooktacular Halloween Themes

It’s a given there will be a party or two to attend during the Halloween season.  If you are the host of that party, here are some great ideas for spooky, ghoulish themes that are both frightening and fun!

Get the party started with the right decorations and props to turn your space into a room to be remembered!  Why settle for a plain card table and a homemade paper chain when you can add oh-so-fantastic embellishments to your event that will make guests go “wow” when they walk in the door.

The easiest way to start off your party is to pick a theme.  This will help decide the best decorations, guest list, and ideas for your specific party.  A few great ideas are:

·     Bats - A Bat Halloween theme party is a great idea if you've got a mixed crowd -- guests of all ages, boys, girls, guys and gals, will love this batty party.

·     Pumpkins - Pumpkin-carving is enticingly messy and squishy, and it's a Halloween tradition that's been celebrated for centuries. Keep little ones celebrating this fall with a pumpkin-carving party.

·     Glam - Get the girls together for a night of Halloween fun. Easy and cute decorations as well as bite sized foods will make a party they'll love. Top the night off with an adorable purse favor filled with grown up Halloween goodies!

·     Monsters (zombies, vampires, and werewolves oh my!) – For these party guests, grisly and ghastly is the only way to go.  Let these tough types test the strength of their spine with a party that oozes with heart-stopping surprises, cringe-worthy costumes, and a menu into which only the boldest vampires would sink their fangs.

·     Budget – Scare your guests, not your wallet with easy DIY decorations and invitations.  There are many online resources you can print for free to give guests a great time and your wallet a rest.

·     Creepy Haunted House - The touch of a cold corpse, the sound of a howling wind, and the taste of your heart in your throat...the senses truly come alive as they enter your chilling retreat.

·     Adult - Halloween isn't just for kids anymore! Mix decorations and recipes for a perfect, upscale adult Halloween party. Choose a spooky costume; mix with a creepy cocktail for an unforgettable evening!

·     Party Scene Investigation – Send invitations early to get guests intrigued so they will want to investigate this criminally perfect party!  Have a mystery game ready so you can find out which of your guests is a super sleuth.

      Halloween is a fun holiday for all ages, so get creative and incorporate the best party ideas for your theme.  Create a party plan and remember to include invitations, decorations, games, activities, party food, gift bag favors, costumes, and gifts.
