Halloween isn\u2019t just for pint-sized princesses and pirates! In fact, there\u2019s plenty of adult fun to be had at this delightfully dreadful time of year. Thinking of hosting a Halloween party of your own? Read on for a roundup of Halloween party ideas aimed at helping you pull off a boo-tiful\u00a0bash.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Think beyond conventional orange.<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, there\u2019s a time and place for traditional Halloween color palette consisting of orange, orange and more orange, but there are many other hues suitable for Halloween room decor. Black is the ultimate in sophistication, while gold and silver metallics create an elegant ambiance. Or, consider a white decorating scheme to make a more ethereal impression. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Set the mood.<\/b><\/p>\n

Your party may begin when guests start arriving, but you can start setting the mood much earlier than that with a thoughtful invitation. Whether you send a paper invitation or go with a less formal e-vite, this is your chance to make sure your guests have all the information they need while simultaneously giving them an exciting glimpse of what to expect from the party.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Know your space needs.<\/b><\/p>\n

Unless your party plans include an all-night game of \u201cMusical Chairs,\u201d having enough seating in the form of <\/span>sofas<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>chairs<\/span><\/a> is an important part of keeping your guests comfortable. But your guests will also need space to mingle, as well as to move smoothly through the space. This may mean rearranging your furniture to maximize flow.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Consider a costume theme.<\/b><\/p>\n

It goes without saying that Halloween parties call for costumes. But it you\u2019re looking to level up, introducing a theme can add to the fun. From movie-inspired costumes to \u201cdenim and diamonds,\u201d there are many different ways to go with this. Other theme ideas? Downton Abbey, prom, \u201cRoaring 30s,\u201d angels and devils, and Alice in Wonderland. The possibilities go on and on!<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Party with props.<\/b><\/p>\n

Sure your guests will come in costume, but some may benefit from some extra accessorizing. Set up a prop table with mustaches, hats, boas, sunglasses and more. This will also encourage photo-taking. Or, if your budget allows, rent a photo booth for the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Have your own hashtag.<\/b><\/p>\n

All the best parties have their own hashtags. Embrace your inner wordsmith and come up with a hashtag that best represents your party and its theme. Be sure to include it on the invitation and all other communications surrounding the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Focus on food.<\/b><\/p>\n

Nothing\u2019s scarier than bad food. If you want your guests to stick around, have plenty of tasty food. Finger foods are especially party-friendly. If you\u2019re feeling ambitious, check out<\/span> Saveur\u2019s <\/span><\/i>roundup of fall finger foods<\/span><\/a>. Not up for cooking? Order your eats. (No one needs to know.) Plus, you\u2019ll have more time to enjoy the party.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Label your libations.<\/b><\/p>\n

Signature drinks aren\u2019t just fun, they\u2019re also practical. Rather than spending your night behind the bar mixing up complicated drinks, offer your guests beer, wine and <\/span>a signature drink<\/span><\/a>. Make sure to offer non-alcoholic beverages, as well. Non-drinkers, as well as those looking to avoid the dreaded hangover, will appreciate your consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, you could throw out some candy corn and call it a day when planning how to host a party. But why would you when there are so many more frightfully fabulous ways to celebrate the spookiest night of the year? These eight tips can help you throw your most magical Halloween party yet.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
