Halloween is the most popular holiday after Christmas!
When hosting a kids Halloween party, there are so many things to consider. Don't get spooked by all the options!
This party page shows you the best of the best, from invitations to party favors to great Halloween costume ideas.
Ghost Invitation - Send ghost lollipops with the party
instructions written on the ghost's "sheet". (Using orange yarn, tie a small
square of white fabric around a pop and add dots for eyes with indelible black
marker) If mailing the invitations, use flat lollipops and a padded
envelope.
Frankenstein's Hand Invitation - Trace your hand onto heavy
green paper and cut it out using fancy edge scissors. Add black or orange pointy
fingernails and a "railroad track" scar or two. Write the party info. in wavy
letters on the hand.

Halloween Party Decorations

NEW FOR 2006 |
Halloween party ideas for decorations couldn't be easier. Make
a sign that says "Haunted House" with
a black spider web in one corner and some bats flying about - hang it on your
front door. Or try one of these ready-made Custom Halloween Banners
String mini
lights - purple and orange look best. Add lots of fake spider webs
with big black spiders attached and a large black plastic cauldron filled with punch, candy or small prizes. Check out
these spooky eyes luminarias
to light a festive path to your door.
The proper lighting is all-important at a Halloween bash,
so check out these Halloween lights and candles.
Have plenty of Spooky Halloween Music kids
love like "Monster Mash", etc. Another great Halloween party idea is to purchase
a fog machine or smoking cauldron kit
which
can be reused year after year and adds great atmosphere to your Halloween
party.
Outdoors, cornstalks, hay bales and pumpkins are always a nice
touch too...
Make cardboard tombstones, paint them gray, and write
silly names and epitaphs on them such as:
- B.A. Ghoul
- Ben Dover
- Yul B Next
- Barry M Deep
- I was Fred, now I'm dead
- Mary Hass, missed the brake and hit the gas
- Here lies Bob Lane, he almost learned to fly a plane
