Halloween is a celebration that is here to stay, there is no doubt about that. This typical festival from the United States has made it increasingly common in Spain, Europe, and the rest of America for children of all ages to be unable to resist the excitement that the night of terror brings. We will try to give you some ideas so that you can organize a Halloween party with a lot of style.

The costume, the most important thing! The costume is essential at a Halloween party. To make your party more fun, ask your guests to come in costume. It's best to specify that they should wear homemade costumes; they don’t have to be scary or very elaborate, the fun part is that they are original. If not all your guests want to dress up, ask them to come dressed up from the shoulders up with some kind of hat or accessory. When they arrive at the party, you can offer to paint their faces with colored makeup sticks. It’s very easy and the result is fun. If you want a fun keepsake from your party, set up a Photobooth and take a photo of each guest as they arrive, in front of a backdrop created for the occasion. You can send it to each one after the party as a memento, you’ll surely succeed!

Decoration for an original Halloween party Balloons. Decorate the party space with balloons in Halloween colors (black, orange, and purple) and combine them with polka dot balloons in black and orange and a skeleton or two; avoid filling the space with skulls. The combination of colors and designs always looks better. A fun idea is to make floating ghosts by inflating some white balloons and covering each one with a piece of white plastic (a cut white garbage bag) or a white cloth. Tie the "neck" with a ribbon just below the balloon, and cut the "skirt" a bit to make it look like strips. With a black marker, draw the eyes and hang the "ghosts" from the ceiling with a thread. They look great! The Table. We recommend using solid color tableware in orange, black, and white, combining it with Halloween-themed items like ghost plates that are part of the recent Halloween collection from Caspari. And if you want something easy, we have prepared a collection of products to decorate a Halloween party with everything you need to decorate your kids' party.

You can add accessories to your table like hand-decorated wooden cutlery specially for the occasion. A very easy idea that we love is to cut out these black cardstock garlands with pinking shears and place them around the table and the cake. A tablecloth made from an old, frayed white sheet gives a very Halloween look. You can also use this same idea to cover your chairs; your party will have a mysterious ghostly air and your furniture will be safe, which never hurts. Don’t forget the Treats; they are the centerpiece of the party. Prepare a bowl of candies and sweets to give to the children who come to your door. Hang garlands with Halloween, motifs; we believe they give a very nice look to the living room.

A tip to light up your Halloween party would be to replace the candlelight effect with something less dangerous for children. Replace the bulbs in a ceiling lamp with a "black" light bulb; you can find them at any electrical store, and it will give a "ghostly" light. Some ideas to have a spooky time Cut out the silhouette of a bat from black cardstock and stick it to a lit lantern. Place it on a piece of furniture. This will illuminate the figure on the opposite wall. This image is a free printable, and you can download it from firstpalette and print it on your home printer.

A fun idea is to create the soundtrack for the party. Record atmospheric sounds: screams, howls, the sound of dry leaves crunching, the clattering of metal pots, ghostly laughter, etc. A very fun activity, and the kids will love the effect! Rice falling on foil will sound like rain, a plastic bag will be a bat, cellophane will be fire, etc. A game for the kids is to take a white cardboard and draw an image with a spider web like this and cut out a spider from black cardstock. Blindfold the children with a black scarf. Each child must place the spider in the center of the web without looking; the one who places the spider closest to the center of the web wins.
