New Delhi: Amputated limbs and living corpses are acceptable at adult Halloween parties. However, small children (and their parents) usually prefer age-appropriate entertainment to nights of dreadful horror. As an alternative to trick-or-treating, or before the kids go door-to-door, there are a few ways to make your Halloween party a fun time.
garden decoration
To give visitors a sense of what to expect before entering, start with the front yard. When entertaining children, it’s important to keep the home looking warm and inviting while adding just the right amount of suspense to keep them from getting nervous.
classic decor
When planning a traditional Halloween party, it’s common to think of black spiders, orange pumpkins, and green-faced witches. You can use this classic Halloween imagery and these traditional Halloween decoration colors to create a spooky and fun Halloween atmosphere for your event.
haunted house decoration
Hang movable skeletons that snuggle up to chairs, sofas, and ceiling-mounted ghost decorations. Younger children can add some humor by dressing the skeletons in silly Halloween costumes and doing silly poses.
monster mash
It’s all about monsters for a Monster Mash themed Halloween party. Purchase cutouts of your favorite monsters such as Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula, mummies, werewolves and more to hang in your room. You can even add a few friendly spider balloons to encourage kids to dance. The party feels energetic.
mad scientist
Set up beakers and test tubes filled with neon green slime or liquid colored with food coloring for a mad scientist themed party. It can also be used to create spooky (and yummy) decorations that can be made. To emphasize this idea, consider dressing up as a mad scientist with a lab coat, glasses, and outrageous hairstyle. Please do not
