Halloween: A night to abandon the boring day-to-day life and get lost in a fantastic and terrifying world where you and your friends are the protagonists. If you have no ideas to organize your own party and you want it to be MEMORABLE, take note of these tips:
1. Create spooky invitations
Invitations are much more important than you think: they are your cover letter and set the mood for the party long before it starts. Depending on the type of invitation you choose, your guests will be able to know if the party will be happy or terrify
2. Prepare a terrifyingly delicious catering
Halloween is the one day of the year when unappetizing food is exciting. The possibilities for creating disturbing snacks are endless! You could make ghost biscuits, finger-style sausage rolls, spaghetti and meatball brains, and so much more.
The good news is that you can prepare food for any dish. Appetizers, main courses and desserts can be transformed into a festive surprise. For a dramatic centerpiece, you can fill a cake with strawberry jam so it "bleeds" when you cut it.
3. Create the perfect atmosphere with ambient lighting
When most people think of Halloween, they imagine all things dark, mysterious, and scary. Your party atmosphere should be just as exciting. Candles, strobes, and colored lights can provide just enough light to keep the party interesting.
Keep in mind that areas that have food and drinks should be brighter so that people can see what they are consuming.
4. Decorate the entrance to your house or enclosure
The party can be inside your house or in a venue or venue that you have reserved, but if you really want to do everything possible to surprise your guests, it is worth taking the time to decorate the entrance to the party. When the guests arrive, no one will wonder if they have the right address.
Some easy decorations could be scarecrows, lanterns, spider webs, or even a fog machine. If you can find runway decorations that have motion sensors, you can greet your guests with guffaws or creepy boos.
5. Prepare a small terrifying show
Fun is the most sought-after mood at a party, but let's not forget that it's a Halloween party, your guests can't leave without feeling a little fear! Prepare a little show in the middle of the party, when nobody expects it, to create an atmosphere of nervous laughter and turn your event into an Instagrammable moment.
6. Gamify your Halloween party
Who says adults don't like to play like children? If you think your guests might feel self-conscious at the beginning of the party, set up some interactive games to let them loose. A good time to do it may be after the show we talked about in the previous point. You can have a costume contest, play the "Guess who am I" version "monsters" or have a Beer Pong.
7. Choose a suitable music
Think carefully about the profile of your guests. 80s style is very trendy lately, so you could organize an 80s Halloween party inspired by horror movies of the time. If you use this theme you can use a greatest hits playlist in which Michael Jackson's Thriller should not be missed. But remember the profile of your guests, if they are teenagers they probably won't understand the theme or like the music, so you must be careful choosing the theme and the music, as it will define the entire party and the fun atmosphere will depend on it.
Extra: Make your event instagrammable If what you are looking for is to make your party memorable, make sure you prepare an absolutely instagrammable corner. How? It must be a corner decorated with great care and that is perfectly framed in a photograph. Use a velvet armchair and decorate around it with elements according to the theme of the party. You can use neon lights and hashtags to get people to tag you in the photos you upload. Make sure that the corner is well lit and that it is a smoke-free area if you want the photos to be very TOP.
