Halloween is the best time to really go all out and provide a new and different party experience for your guests. Whether you’re hosting a small soiree at home or a grand community-wide event, you can create something spectacular and memorable with just a little creativity and some smartly chosen party rentals. Here are some expert tips to get you started!
Theme It
Choosing a cohesive theme for your Halloween party can help make decisions easier when it comes to costumes, food, and decor. With a clear and unified vision, your guests will feel a sense of community and belonging. Try these themes for some inspiration:
- Vampires, werewolves, and zombies, oh my! Go old-school with a classic movie monster theme. Up the “camp factor” with some peeled grape “eyeballs” and spaghetti “intestines.”
- Zombie Gala For a glamorous party with a Halloween twist, invite your guests to dress up as their favorite silver screen stars… zombified! Decorate with stunning black candelabra centerpieces and a glowing champagne fountain, and you’ve got yourself a zombie gala your guests will remember for years to come.
- Night Circus Be transported to a new world when you step into the tent and see this spectacle. A circus or carnival theme is ripe with opportunities for fun costumes, whimsical decorations, and sweet treats. Complete the atmosphere with carnival games and prizes.
Go Black to Basics
Black dishes, chairs, and table linens are a solid foundation to pair with your own unique decorations. Throw in some orange accents for a more traditional Halloween feel, or silvers and golds for a more posh look. Lighted tables with themed centerpieces or chilling snacks can add a little pop of color and fun.
Add Some Ambiance
Choose a playlist of your favorite Halloween songs or some spooky sound effects to underscore your evening. Set up accent lights, add a little fog and you’ve got yourself a very spooky Halloween party! If you’re looking for a more dramatic wow factor, set up an outdoor movie screen and play your favorite scary movies. The right ambiance can intensify your party’s spook factor from 1 to 10 in no time.
