Halloween Party Ideas

Well it is time to start planning those Halloween Parties!

Every year we invite all of our friends over and have a fun adult dress up party! We all start the party 
at our house and then go around to local bars for their parties & contests!

I love Halloween. It is my favorite time of year! All the decorating, face painting, scary creatures, 
sugar skulls and fun witches! Our house is decorated inside and out starting October 1st!
You can read more about my decorations HERE!  

THEME:

Every party has to have a theme! Here are some fun ideas for your next Halloween Party!!

• Zombie Party
• Haunted house
• Witches & Warlocks
• Gothic Halloween
• New Orleans Halloween (Sugar Skull)
• Freak Show

Not every Halloween party has to be scary. You can have fun themed parties also like:

• Clue (Who did it) party
• Hocus Pocus
• Beetlejuice
• Casper’s Dinner Party

FOOD & DRINKS:

Let's get started with food options! You can make things really creepy or you can just go traditional
 w/ spooky background! One year I made the creepy gross looking food and to be honest it looked
 really cool but the problem was no one wanted to eat it because it looked weird!

 The kids on the other hand thought it was the coolest thing ever! Here are some creepy food ideas!

• Red velvet cinnamon rolls made into a pan of guts
• Red chocolate fondue or you can use the same fondue set for a red “blood” punch
• Add dry ice to your punch bowls to make them look creepy
• You can make any punch bowl fun by also adding glow sticks
• Skull bowls are always fun to have salsa in if you add some meat it will look like bloody brains!

After putting all the work into making that Halloween themed food and no one eating it
 I decided to make traditional finger food and just decorate around it.... make everything around it 
spooky and fun! This was a lot better outcome! Here are some fun ideas for snack food!

• Chips and dip - If you want to get creative with this you can get multi colored chips and then
   for the dip you can make 3 different kinds of cheese dip in these awesome slow cooker buffet!
   Add some fun decor around the crockpot and chip bowl and you are all set!
• Save your wine bottles throughout the year and you can purchase fun Halloween stickers go
   labels! Then add your own mix in them for your guests!
• Meatballs/Little smokies! These are always a hit at any party. The best barbecue sauce that
   I have found is Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce and when you mix a little grape jelly in it then you 
  will have an amazing flavor everyone will love!
• You can also find a lot of fun ideas on my Pinterest board! 
  
  

Here are some treat ideas for the younger kids or if you were signed up to do one of those
 fun Halloween parties for school!

DECORATIONS:

Now for decorations. I am just going to briefly touch on decorations because most of them you can 
find in my Halloween decor blog! There you will find allot more detail on how I decorate for Halloween.

Now allot of people just decorate for their party. Our house on the other hand starts October 1st and
doesn't end until November 1st! Here are some extra props that we do add for the party!

• Mad scientist drink lab
• Use your Amazon Alexa, or Google home devices to play haunted house sounds all around your 
  house
• Lighting is a must! Switch out those white bulbs for some fun black lights!
• Don’t forget to decorate your bathroom, blood on the mirror, Michael Myers in the bathtub things
   like that!
• Kitchen is the best place to have falling spiders and props that will pop out or make noise
   when people come in!

COSTUMES:

I am not sure if my favorite thing is to decorate the house….or costume design! So as the hostess/host 
you will want to dress for your theme. Make sure that you put your theme on the invitations and if you are
going to have a costume competition make sure you let your guests know!
