There was a time when Halloween was considered just a kid’s holiday. Today, the grownups are getting in on the act by pulling out all the stops to decorate their homes and throw wild Halloween parties. For some folks, Halloween has passed Christmas on the list of favorite annual holidays. If you’re thinking about throwing a Halloween party this year then take note of these easy tips to make sure it’s a night to remember.Start with the invitations but don’t fret over stamps and cards. Go Facebook or E-vite and you can make sure you’re party roster will be complete with just the click of a mouse. Because this is an adult party, you’ll want a more adult oriented menu but that doesn’t mean you can’t stick with the Halloween theme. You could serve soup in hollowed-out mini pumpkin bowls. Why not make a tombstone shape cake? You could also make tombstone shape sugar cookies with the R.I.P. of the names of your guests written in icing. For a party like this you’ll definitely want to go with a buffet kind of a spread where folks can just wander by and graze when they feel the hunger.
Making wearing costumes a must. You might just be amazed at how creative your friends can get. If they are struggling for costume ideas suggest they come dressed as their significant other or as a zombie version of themselves. No Halloween party will be complete without a cadre of zombies milling about. Another fun costume idea is to set the rule that a costume can’t be created until one hour before the party which means your guests can only use what they’ve got stuffed in their closet.
You can keep that creative spark fired up by also inviting your guests to bring carved pumpkins and offer a prize for the best creation. Just make sure you’ve got a decent display table set up. As for your own decorations, you can cut out bat shapes from black construction paper and tape them to lampshades to cast an eerie glow. Speaking of glow, you’ll be able to find plenty of orange, red or black candles this time of year to create that spooky atmosphere. If you are throwing your party on Halloween then be prepared for the trick or treaters who might be stopping by. Let you guests take turns handing out the candy and scaring up the visitors.
Before all the fun starts though, you should get your house in order by clearing out the clutter both inside and outside. You can get this done by hiring a crew of qualified junk haulers – Junk King Kansas City, to load up your refuse and cart it away. You might even want to have the the KC Junk King team make a return visit after the party to help cart off all that trash! Starting with a clean home is going to make everything easy.
