The Halloween season is nearly here, and it's time to start planning your Halloween party. Looking for some inspiration? If you are looking for ways to host a grown up party, we've got ideas ranging from casual to formal. Parties don't have to be huge costume parties, there are lots of ways to celebrate the holiday in a low key way with a small group of friends. Let your personal style be your guide. Whether your Halloween celebration will be spent mixing up groovy cocktails for friends or doing fun arts and crafts projects with the family, we have some fun filled ideas to get your party started.
Halloween Dinner Party - Invite a small group of friends over for a grown up dinner party. Select a theme such as Gothic vampires, zombies etc and use that idea as inspiration for your invitation, decor, menu and activities. Make your own invitations, inviting guests to come to your shindig in costumes related to the theme. This is fun for a small group of adults on Halloween, as a way to celebrate the holiday in grown up style. Choosing a theme for your celebration such as the Wizard of Oz and inviting guests to come as their favorite character adds lot of fun and anticipation for your guests. The Wizard of Oz just released a brand new line of costumes this year, including a very scary looking Flying Monkey Costume.
Seance - This is great for an older teen sleepover or an adult dinner party. Decorate with lots of candles and set up a spooky graveyard scene with Styrofoam tombstones. Have a Ouija board ready to call forth the dearly departed. Keep the party focused on fun by calling only on famous long dead historical figures like James Dean, Elvis, Marie Antoinette, etc. This type of party can get really spooky or totally hilarious, depending on your group and how much wine has been enjoyed.
Halloween Cocktail Party - If you don't want to do a formal dinner or a big blow out costume party, why not have a cocktail party? Halloween drinks and yummy treats for adults are a nice way to celebrate without all the fuss of getting dressed up and going out to a big bash. Or for guests that do, schedule your party to be the first stop of the night. Create a signature spooky drink that you can make in advance of the party. Don't forget to try it out before serving to your guests!
Halloween Tea - Hosting a Halloween themed afternoon tea is a great way to have a formal afternoon party for adults. Use black tablecloths, candelabras with black or orange candles, spider webs and dead flowers as the centerpiece. Serve up bite sized Halloween treats such as san-witches, pumpkin scones and spooky cupcakes. Salad or appetizer plates work well, and you can actually order all black party ware to create the proper impact.
Halloween Scrap Booking Party - Gather together scrap booking paper and supplies with a Halloween focus, and get your scrap booking friends together. A great way to accomplish a personal project while having a fun social activity. This party is great for both experienced scrap bookers as well as friends who are new to the idea. You can provide the Halloween related supplies and ask guests to bring their own tools and other supplies. Make sure to have some tasty treat and beverages on hand, and you've got all the makings for a fun cropping party!
Whatever you decide, your party will definitely benefit from some advance planning. Consider the type of friends you want to invite, and how that group will respond to the idea and timing. For a more formal celebration, a Halloween themed afternoon tea is perfect for moms and daughters. Dinner parties are perfect for a smaller group of friends, and you can focus on pampering them with amazing handmade invitations and menu creations. Cocktail parties are ideal in big cities where your guests may have several social events to attend. Choose what's best suited to your family. Most importantly, determine your costume and order it right now online. Happy Haunting!
