Throw a Halloween Party

Transform your home into a haunted house by covering furniture with white sheets to look like ghosts, hanging fake spiderwebs and bats from the ceiling, placing plastic skeletons around the room, carving jack-o-lanterns to use as creepy decor, and setting up a themed candy or treat buffet. Send out orange and black invitations and ask guests to dress up in costume. Play monster mash music and Halloween sound effects. Serve festive foods and drinks in cauldrons with creepy names. End with a costume contest awarding scary superlatives.

Halloween Meeting Invitations with Party Theme

Take your next business meeting invitation digital by creating graphics with stock images of Halloween motifs like bats, black cats, ghosts, gravestones and jack-o-lanterns. Write clever captions like “Don’t be tricked, attend this important meeting!” Include classic Halloween color schemes of black, orange and green. Send as online calendar invitations or print and hand deliver festively folded invitations sealed with Halloween stickers.

Halloween Spooktacular Gifts 

Hand out Halloween party favors in small coffin gift boxes. Fill with scary surprises like spider rings, temporary vampire teeth, mini pumpkins, candy corn packs, Halloween pencils, stickers, temporary tattoos, glow sticks, and scary bookmarks. Wrap boxes with black and orange ribbon. Make customized Halloween cards to identify each guest’s favor box for an extra special touch.

Adult Halloween Party Costumes

Create easy no-sew costumes by transforming common household items: turn a cardboard box into a makeshift robotic suit, use aluminum foil to fashion a homemade tin man costume, or opt for a classic ghost by layering white sheets over work clothes. Accessorize with face paint, wigs, theatrical makeup, creepy contact lenses, costume jewelry or whatever else embodies a selected costume theme. Host a costume contest, letting party guests vote on superlatives like “most creative” and “funniest.”

Halloween Party Games Ideas

Set up Halloween party game stations like pumpkin bowling played with mini pumpkins and ghostly bowling pins, a beanbag toss into a giant outdoor spiderweb board painted with a big black spider outline, or mummy wrapping races to see who can wrap a partner the fastest with toilet paper. Give prizes like Halloween candy, spider rings or pumpkin carving kits.

Pumpkin Carving Contest: Best Halloween Game

 Have guests bring their own pumpkins and carving tools. Provide additional pumpkins, tools, and decorating supplies like LED lights and embellishments. Encourage creativity by having contest categories like “scariest,” “funniest,” and “most creative.” Allow time for guests to sketch, carve, and decorate their pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns. Display finished pumpkins and have guests anonymously vote by ballot for winners in each contest category. Award festive ribbon prizes.

DIY candy corn garland: Halloween Party Theme Decoration Idea 

String together orange, yellow, and white candy corn kernels using a needle and thread. Space kernels closely or farther apart depending on preference. Make short strands to use as table centerpieces, longer strands to hang as wall decorations, and curled strings to fashion into wreaths. Display in glass vases, bowls, mugs or jars for variation.

Mummy Hot Dog Wraps: Halloween Party Food

Wrap individual hot dog sausages with strips of crescent roll dough to resemble “mummy bandages.” Brush wraps lightly with egg wash then sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds for eyes. Bake according to crescent roll package directions. Serve with condiments like ketchup or mustard “blood.” Offer a vegetarian option using carrot or zucchini “mummies” instead.

Decorate with Halloween Photo Booth

Set up a stationary or portable DIY photo booth using a digital camera or smartphone connected to a computer. Allow guests to pose with Halloween-themed props like masks, wigs, hats, signs and decorative scene setters. Print photo strips immediately or email digital files to share later. For added flair, provide costume pieces, face paint and makeup for transformations within the photo booth.

Spooky music playlist with Party Favor

Set the tone with ambient sounds like howling wolves and creaking doors before transitioning into iconic songs like “Monster Mash,” “Thriller,” and “The Time Warp.” Keep the energy high with Halloween hits like “Disturbia” by Rihanna or “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell, interspersed with retro classics and sound effects.

Scary Movie Marathon: Best Halloween Party Idea

Screen back-to-back Halloween movie classics like Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters and The Nightmare Before Christmas alongside newer horror entries like Get Out, A Quiet Place, and It for cohesive chills. Supply popcorn in Halloween-themed containers and other scary movie snacks to fuel the fright fest.

Spider Web Cupcakes with Party Theme Idea

Pipe white chocolate onto orange frosted cupcakes in circular webbed designs. Use black food coloring gel to draw spider outlines onto cupcake wrappers. Place plastic spider rings or candy arachnid embellishments onto cupcake tops as added flair. Display in cupcake tiers adorned with extra crisscrossing white chocolate drizzle webs for added drama.

Halloween welcome display: Unique Halloween Idea

Craft an easy outdoor Halloween decoration by grouping wooden stakes designed to look like crosses and gravestones lettered with phrases like “Turn Back” and “Beware.” Position in front of outdoor entry alongside a coffin prop surrounded by artificial fall leaves. Place a motion-activated animatronic prop or skeleton hand that reaches out as guests approach!

A costume parade is One of the Best Ways

Clear an area and lay an orange carpet runway flanked by spooky decor. Play upbeat music and have costumed guests proudly walk the runway to show off costumes individually. Clap and cheer for each individual parade display. Consider awarding prizes for categories like scariest, most creative, funniest, or best group costume afterward!

Halloween charades

Prepare charade ideas based on classic monster movies, characters, songs, and traditions to act out. Split guests into teams and have members take turns silently acting out scenarios drawn randomly for their team to guess correctly. Customize game complexity for kids and adults. Use orange and black notecards to keep score and share extra clues if needed.

Halloween Snacks Box

No Halloween party is complete without an array of ghoulish snacks! Spice up typical treats by shaping foods to look like monsters. Carve faces into fruits and veggies to make edible jack-o’-lanterns. Prepare eyeball deviled eggs, mummy hot dogs, or dirt and worms made with Oreo crumbles and gummy worms. Label spooky punch “witch’s brew” and add dry ice for a bubbling cauldron effect. Bake a cake shaped like a graveyard, decorate cookies like tombstones, or make Rice Krispie treats shaped like body parts. With a little creativity, you can turn ordinary snacks into frightening bite-sized pieces perfect for a Halloween celebration.

Halloween Bingo

Incorporate a round of Halloween bingo into your party plans! Make bingo cards featuring typical Halloween symbols and icons like black cats, bats, witches hats, zombies, jack-o-lanterns, and ghosts. Use candy corn to mark spaces. Guests can search their boards as the emcee calls out characters and images. Reward winners with small prizes like Halloween jewelry, stickers, temporary tattoos, mini toys, candy, and more. Halloween bingo encourages mingling, brings out guests’ competitive edges, and keeps the party lively and entertaining all night long.
