Plan Fun Activities
Bobbing for apples is a classic Halloween activity that is sure to get your guests laughing. For this activity, you’ll need a large tub or bucket filled with water and several apples. To play, each guest takes turns trying to bite into an apple while holding their hands behind their back. The person who bites into the most apples in a set amount of time wins the game. Telling scary stories is another fun activity that will get your guests in the Halloween spirit. To play, have each person take turns telling a short ghost story. The person who tells the best story, as determined by the group, wins the game. Finally, watching horror movies is a great way to keep your guests entertained throughout the night. Choose a few classics such as “Night of the Living Dead” or “The Exorcist” and pop some popcorn for a fun-filled evening.
Set Up a Photo Booth
What’s a Halloween party without a photo booth? A DIY photo booth is a great way to get guests in on the fun! All you need are some props like masks and fake mustaches. Guests will love getting their photos taken with their friends! And don’t forget to print out the photos for everyone to take home as a memento of the party.
Give Out Favors
As any host knows, hosting a party is a lot of work. There’s the planning, the decorating, the cooking… and then there’s the cleanup. But it’s all worth it when you see your guests enjoying themselves. One way to show your guests that you appreciate their coming is to give out favors at the end of the party. Popular choices include candy, miniature pumpkins, or Halloween-themed keychains or magnets. Giving your guests a little something to take home with them is a great way to say “thank you” for coming and make sure they have fond memories of your party. So if you’re throwing a Halloween party this year, don’t forget the favors!
