Have Fun on Halloween by Throwing a Great Party
Planning any party is tough but pulling off a party with a theme is often extra difficult. This makes having Halloween fun at a party that you're hosting extra hard. The key here is when you want to have Halloween fun, think about your friends and what they love best.
If you are the type of person that likes having dinner parties, then have a relaxed buffet with themed food and decorations. If you like dancing and plenty of food, booze and music then plan accordingly. Remember if you do not to take it too seriously; you won't have to worry about having fun.
Planning
Planning your Halloween fun is the first step to making sure that everything goes well. You don't have to have detailed checklists - just a rough plan that you can refer to. The most important list is your guest list. Come up with numbers and then start sending out invitations as early as possible.
Numbers are important so that you don't end up with too much or too little food. Think of what you want to serve, whether you just want to have simple finger food or something more substantial. If you want to have a potluck then make sure everyone is bringing something and that no one has any allergies that you need to inform the others about.
An Angle
Halloween fun can be unusual or it can be ordinary. As long as you're with your friends then you'll have fun. Have a screening of your favorite horror films on Halloween. Have everyone come in pajamas. Provide lots of snacks and maybe a bottle of wine or two.
Have a pumpkin themed party. Part of the Halloween fun can include different things made with pumpkin and pumpkin carving. This is great for family gatherings where you can have teams to come up with the best pumpkin carving. Children can have separate games to keep them amused.
You can even take your Halloween fun to the streets. Have an old-fashioned block party. Make sure to get a permit to close off the street. If you live in a close knit community this can be a great fun filled activity for everyone. Contests for best costume are a must in this case. Have games and good music and you'll find that everyone will get into the spirit of things pretty quickly.
