Halloween is a great time to get friends together for a night full of ghost stories, costumes, spooky games and music and scary-good food! But hosting a Halloween gathering can feel like a lot of pressure—and you want to ensure your guests have fun while you stay as stress-free as possible.
To ensure your monster mash is spook-tacular for your guests and runs without a hitch, check out these 4 tips for hosting your next Halloween party.
Pick the Right Décor For Your Venue
Are you hosting at your home or outside? Or are you going big and renting out a space? Once you’ve decided on a place, it’s easier to find Halloween party decorations to match your location. Flickering orange lights, fake spiderwebs and pumpkin candles are all great options for any spot, but other decorations—like Halloween tableware and drinkware—may be dependent on where you’re hosting.
You may not want to use glassware, for example, at outdoor locations or at a rented space, since these items will be harder to travel with and could easily break. At these venues, disposable or lightweight decorations will be easier to put up (and take down). Consider using a paper or felt table runner or hanging lightweight decorations on the walls.
If you’re hosting at your home, it’s much easier to go all out on tableware. From fun cocktail glasses to Halloween-inspired appetizer plates, you can get creative with items you’ll be able to use year after year.
