Halloween Party Ideas
In this blog, we’ll share fun, easy, and affordable Halloween party ideas that will make your celebration unforgettable! Get ready for a night of frightful fun and ghoulishly good times with these awesome ideas!
Halloween Party Games
Witch’s Hat Ring Toss
Grab some cheap plastic cones and paint them black to look like Witch’s Hats. Glue or screw them to a piece of plywood and you have a fun game for kids and adults.
Pumpkin Tic Tac Toe
This easy and cute game is perfect for a chill Halloween party. You can grab different colored mini pumpkins at your grocery store or pumpkin patch for this Pumpkin tic tac toe game.
Boo-Loon Pop
All you need for this fun game is some black and white balloons and some darts. You could pin the balloons to the side of a tree, the outside of your house, your garage door, or a fence if you don’t want to build a big board.
Poke A Pumpkin
Kids will love this fun Halloween game! Build a pumpkin shape out of plastic cups and fill them with some fun toys or trinkets. Place a piece of orange tissue paper over the cups and secure it with a rubber band. Kids can take turns punching (or poking) through the tissue paper to reveal their prize. You could also make a ghost or a witch’s hat!
Candy Corn Toss
This adorable game combines everyone’s favorite fall snack with a fun and clever game. Grab some colorful cups and some small beanbags for this easy DIY game.
Halloween Party Decorating Ideas
A Haunting Tablescape
Having dinner with some friends? This tablescape idea combines mini white pumpkins, witch’s hats, black silverware, and candles for an amazingly haunting ambiance.
Spooky Photoshoot Backdrop
Both kids and adults will love this fun photo backdrop! A balloon arch with hay bales and a poseable skeleton is all you need to create this fun and slightly spooky backdrop for your guests to take pictures and create memories.
Halloween Balloons
Some Orange, Black, and White balloons are an affordable way to make a huge impact. There are so many ways to decorate with balloons for a party. Getting a balloon pump is also a great time (and lung) saver.
A Smokey and Eerie Kitchen
This spooky kitchen is set up for a perfect Halloween party. From the hanging Witch Hats to the spider in the window, there’s lots of fun elements. Dont’ forget to have a skeleton sanding at the entrance to welcome your guests!
A Bone Buffet
Spruce up your dining room with a creepy vibe. Grab some gold candlestick holders (I really love these), and place pieces of skeleton bones haphazardly for a ghoulish scene that your guests will love.
Halloween Party Food Ideas
Skeleton Charcuterie Board
Charcuterie Boards are a crowd pleaser. This one is just as cute as it is scary. All you need is a deconstructed skeleton and your favorite crackers, fruits, and finger foods to create this masterpiece.
Caramel Apple Bar with Toppings
I love this idea! Slice up some apples and melt toppings for a caramel apple bar that everyone will enjoy. These cute cauldrons and these Butter Warmers make for the cutest display.
Soups and Sandwiches
If you need a dinner idea for a crowd, this one is a hit! A soup and sandwich buffet is sure to be a crowd pleaser at your party this season. Don’t forget the black tablecloth and the Halloween themed plates.
Apple Cider and Donuts
If you’re going for a traditional fall event, this apple cider and donut display is so fun and kid friendly. No one hates hot cider on a cold day! This tray and these baskets make such a cute display.
S’mores Bar
For the ultimate firepit experience, try doing a s’mores bar at your Halloween party. There are so many ways to execute this idea. I love the idea of putting chocolate and marshmallows in galvanized buckets and acrylic containers.
Pie Bar
Nothing says fall more than pie. Wow your guests with your baking skills (or your buying skills) or have every family bring a favorite pie of their choice. Use cake stands for the display, and don’t forget the pie serving utensil.
