Welcome To Our Halloween Party Ideas page.

Click to see YOUR favorite Halloween costume ideas shared by other visitors to this page... or submit your own!

If you are looking to host a party that is sure to go over well, check out the tried-and-true kids or adult Halloween party ideas below.

Simply click on one of the themes below for all the decorations, costumes, game, and party drinks ideas, as well as printable invitations.

Decorations & Favors

Welcome your guests with a personalized Halloween party sign.

Spider door hangings and ghost wall coverings also make a fun welcome.

Great decorations include skeleton heads and tombstones to create a spooky cemetary effect.

A neat product is a swirled streamer with a Halloween themed item attached, like black cats or jack-o-lanterns.

Hang witches with broomsticks throughout the room, as well as glow-in-the dark skeletons. See the Halloween decorating kit for a complete package of decorating ideas.

Costumes/Dress Attire

Check out these Halloween accessories including hats, masks, and costumes to help you decide your Halloween garb.



Halloween Kids Party Games

Jack-o-lantern or witch pinatas are easy games that get everyone moving.

Pinatas can be filled with candy, in addition to Halloween party stickers, clackers, and other novelty items.

Have a pumpkin painting & carving contest or play "pass the eyeball" in a hot potato style game.

Play Halloween music, and when the music stops (or a werewolf howls, etc), the person holding the eyeball is out. Be sure to check out this Halloween mystery party.

I recently came across a new product by teacher and parent, Teresa Evans. She put together a great activity package of 90 Printable Halloween Activities and Games. She tends to gear it to kids, but I would say most adults would enjoy it as well. It's a great segway activity to settle kids from a very active to another. Or, it's terrific for classroom Halloween parties.

Check out the Kids Halloween Activity Package here.

Music

Hold a karaoke contest to Halloween music to liven up the party.

Food & Drink

Boys love this recipe:

Dish of Dirt (with creepy, crawly, gummy worms)

2 c Milk
1 pk Chocolate Pudding, instant
3 1/2 c Cool Whip
16 oz Oreos
8 Gummy Worms
8 Plastic flowers

Pour milk into medium bowl, add pudding mix. Beat until well blended, 1 -2 minutes. Crush Oreos and set aside. Let stand 5 minutes.

Stir in cool whip and half of cookies. To assemble: place 1 Tb crushed cookies in bottom of 8 oz cup. Fill cups about 3/4 full with pudding mixture.

Top with remaining crumbs. Optional garnish: place flower in middle and put gummy worm halfway out of "dirt".

See our additional "yucky recipes" such as chocolate spiders, cat's eyes, etc.

Here are a couple of sites that have a good selection of free drink recipes:

Sport an inflatable pumpkin bowl on each table.

Halloween paper plates and napkins can be found in your local party store or are available here.
