How to Throw the Best Halloween Party
Halloween can be a day of fun for both young and old. It is also one holiday that is designed for parties. Spooky themes, fun costumes, and plenty of treats make it a good time for all ages.
It has been said that in the past Halloween was reserved mainly for children. There would be costume parties at school, and then an evening of trick-or-treating and other fun. However, more and more adults are starting to take part in the spirit of the holiday as well. After all, who doesn’t enjoy getting dressed up in a fabulous costume and eating candy? Plus, this also makes Halloween a family holiday, since both parents and kids alike can dress up, decorate the house or yard, and participate in the holiday fun.
The history of Halloween parties
Halloween started out as a Celtic holiday known as “Samhain” which celebrated the end of summer. The Celts believed that on the night of Samhain, the souls of the dead would come back to visit the living. Along with them, dark spirits like goblins and witches would also come out. Fires would be lit to keep these dark spirits away, and the Celts would dress in masks and costumes as part of the festivities. Food and lanterns were often left out as gifts for the dead. Over time, these customs turned into the holiday festivities that we know today.
Kids parties
Themes for kids Halloween parties can generally be kept pretty simple. Most kids get excited over dressing up and eating sweets, and there is plenty of room for creativity. Consider having games like bobbing for apples, decorating treat bags, and costume contests for all of the little ones. Of course, food is usually a required part of the fun, and you can get very creative that way. Caramel apples and popcorn balls are fun fall treats, and you can often use a little imagination and food coloring to turn everyday treats into something festive.
Adult parties
While adult parties can still involve costumes and food, you may have to up the ante a little bit when it comes to expectations. Costume contests can still be a great way to encourage guests to get creative and come dressed up. For more mature themes, you can create a Day of the Dead celebration, and celebrate the holiday Mexican-style with authentic foods and treats. Or, you can do a costume ball and play music all night long and serve fine desserts.
Planning ahead
You do not want to leave your Halloween party plans for the month of October. If you start planning ahead of time, you can not only come up with a spectacular theme, but you can find everything you need. Watch for sales and stock up on party supplies like paper plates and cups. Look for fun new recipes to try so that you can wow your friends. And of course, don’t forget to look for a costume – by shopping early you will be able to find the best selection and the best prices.

How to plan a great Halloween party for kids ages 4 to 17.?
Hi. I’m planning a halloween party at my house. Mostly the party guest will be 8 and younger. The youngest should be 3 to 4. The oldest should be a few 16, 17, and maye 18 years old. Then a few 14 and 15 years old. Everyone will be wearing a custom. What some games and activity everyone can do. A good family type party.
Have a costume contest, and separate it into age groups- (3-6), (7-10), (11-14), (15-18), and (18 and up). Give everyone a prize (funniest, most creative, scariest). Take a picture of an adult family member, and play “Pin the Mustache on Uncle Hal”. Break a pinata filled with candy. There are lots of things you could do. Have fun.
P.S.- Don’t forget to teach everyone to do the “Time Warp”.
Halloween/ Housewarming party?
My fiance and I just bought our first house, we finally get the keys on octomer 13th, so I’m going to have a Halloween/ Housewarming party (that way I can pull of haunted house since it won’t be where I want it to by then lol) My question is what time should I invite people over at? because obviously it’s halloween and should be pretty late, but I know some people will want to take their kids trick or treating before, but it’s also a housewarming?? So what time should I say to start coming over at? and any additional advice would be greatly appreciated cuz I’ve never hosted any type of party and this is going to have a pretty big list of invites, some of my ideas I want to know what you think: get a keg? A jumper for the kids? BBQ outside? I live in New Mexico what will the weather be like and if you know what time it gets dark? Should I come up with games??
