Planning a Halloween Party
In two days it will be October and time to begin thinking about Halloween parties, despite the current 90 degree days. Halloween has become as big a party time for adults as for children, so let the fun begin. Having a party may be a safer alternative for children than going door to door to trick or treat in the cold and dark.
Costumes are a must, whether you are five or sixty-five. You might have a theme party and ask guests to dress appropriately, perhaps as their favorite fictional, movie or historical character. Your decor and food should also reflect the theme. Halloween also provides an opportunity to decorate with pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, corn stalks and other fall favorites.
Plan activities to fit the ages of your guests. Many children today have never bobbed for apples, either in a tub of water or with the apples hanging from a string. You might create your own haunted house. It is easy to do in a dark place by creating a winding trail complete with "body parts" along the way. Peeled grapes can serve as eye balls; cold spaghetti as brains. Check your nearest party store for other ideas. Just don't plan anything that will scare little ones. Some scary things are a part of Halloween, but you don't want tears throughout the party.
Send your guests home with their own trick or treat bags filled with a variety of treats, both decadent and useful. Everyone will enjoy the opportunity to celebrate with their friends and to set their inner child free for a few hours.
