Throwing a Halloween Party is a sure fire way to get both adults and kids excited about Halloween.

Halloween Party Invitations



Halloween party invitations are very important. They are the best way to get your guests excited about the party.

Send out some great hand made Halloween party invitations, it will get the kids involved, and you can be sure your party will stick in people’s minds.

Two weeks in advance is the best time to send them. Let them know there will be prizes for the best teen Halloween costumes or scariest pumpkin (more about this later *)

  • Create a cute ghost card using your kid’s footprint. Use some black construction paper and fold it in half. Have your teenager dip his/her foot into white paint and stamp the card with the footprint. Let your cards dry. With a black marker a face to your ghost. Write a message with a gold pen inside your card.

  • Use some of our printable Halloween invitations and write your message with a shaky hand, then wrap it in a little cob webbing and enclose little black plastic spiders for extra creepiness.



    Create a Spooky Ambiance



    Create the spooky ambiance Halloween is famous for. Hairy spiders in webs in ceilings and corners is the classic but here are some other decorating tips:

    Halloween Hanging Swirl Decorations (30 pack)

  • Hang Halloween Swirl Decorations from the ceiling.

  • Cover tables with black table cloths and decorate with pumpkin cutouts and pumpkin garlands (you can get a pattern to make it yourself) Cover sofas and chairs with white sheets.

  • Light essential passageways to the toilets or the bar with inexpensive rope lights but try to keep general lighting to a minimum, substituting black or red light bulbs.

  • Have a pumpkin contest (announcing it in your invitation). * Ask your guests to bring their carved pumpkins to the party and you will have some of the best decorations delivered to your door. Make a pumpkin patch. Put some boxes on a table to get different heights for display, draping dark fabric over them. Add some real vines of leaves or green ribbons for contrast and of course use tea lights to illuminate. This could also be a good place for your snacks.

  • Roll up orange napkins with black cutlery inside placing it inside a bat napkin holder.

  • Place rows of tombstones with the names of your guests leading up to your door. Use decorated cardboard or cereal boxes.

  • You can also hang Halloween lights around your front door and use a fog machine to welcome your guests (available at party rental stores)
