The number one rule for a great party for your kid is that the party must be a sleepover. If you're short on room have one or two kids spend the night. As a kid and a lover of Halloween I have envisioned the greatest Halloween party/sleepover ever. And since parents get stressed very easily have the party start later around eight or nine. Since this is a Halloween party you don't need to start in the afternoon. After all a night of fright does begin at night.
At least two weeks before the party send out invitations to the people you want to invite. You can make your own cards to save money or just buy a bunch of cute cards. A good idea for homemade invitations is adding creative shapes and creepy creatures. Example: Spiders in the corners and make the font type Chiller. It's a very Halloween type font. Plus don't forget cobwebs, ghosts, and goblins. And of course state the time, place, person, and RSVP.
The party for your kid will start after they go trick or treating so have them eat some dinner and go out for a few hours. Make sure to have the kids request their favorite scary movies before the party. Then while they are trick or treating set up outside the house! Decorate the door with fake cobwebs and spiders. Put lights all over the yard, a smoke machine behind a bush, closed curtains with red lights, a few fake tombstones, and some skeletons hanging from the trees. Your kid may be in quite a shock when they can't find their house so make sure to put a sign or wait for them outside.
Inside the house you can put monster foot prints or drops of blood on the floor (foot cutouts and stickers) leading into different rooms. Have the couch covered in pillows and blankets and sleeping bags laid out on the floor. Also put an individual bowl of popcorn on each of the child's pillow. To make sure they don't eat all their candy have some snacks set up in the kitchen. They need liquids so put up fruity drinks (no pop unless you want to be up all night), popcorn, and ice cream with whatever topping. (Have an organized system for the toppings. Once they eat they can watch a few scary movies or play a monsters game.
The best game to play on Halloween is 'Ghost in the Graveyard.' You usually play it outside. All you need is a lot of space, cell phones (so you know where they are), and flashlights. The basis of this game is actually just hide and seek. But it's a lot better in the dark on Halloween! Make sure to tell them where they can or cannot go depending on the neighborhood.
Then once they come inside they can relax and watch a movie. As a fun parent you are obliged to constantly scare the kids. Make sure that they can handle jokes like that. A few tricks is to tell them a story about an old lady who died in the house and left her dentures in a glass and in your hand have a windup set of teeth. At the best moment of suspense have the teeth jump out at someone. Another scare would be to monitor their scary movie and at the best parts jump out of the dark and yell. Or put rubbery bugs in the bottom of their drinks and popcorn.
With all these tricks, snacks, and games they're sure to fall asleep eventually. But although sleep deprived you will have the fame of conducting the greatest Halloween sleepover ever!
Every child wants their Halloween party to be the scariest, thrilling and chilling. They come up with new motives of dreary decorations and exciting games to give horrible shock to their friends so that the party will be remember for a long time. In this article you will find some important tips on how to arrange a perfect Halloween party.
October brings that bright blue weather poets sing about and it also brings that traditional night of nights when witches, bats, owls, black cats and goblins are on the prowl in step with the moaning wind in ghostly tree tops.
What could be more perfect on such a night than to have the High School gang in for a Halloween party. No other party is such fun to give with all of spook Dom ready to do your bidding to add to the party atmosphere. And if you make your party a "superstitious" party you can give your games that different touch that will make your party the talk of the crowd for many a day to come. It will start the social season off with a bang.
Trim your house from top to bottom with black cut-outs of witches riding the broomstick, black cats, owls, and grinning jack-o-lanterns. Add to this usual decoration plenty of superstitious symbols to carry your party theme. Cardboard horseshoes can grace the doorways and huge four-leaf clovers decorate the drapes. In one corner suspend an open black umbrella decorated with bright orange streamers that reach to the floor. This colorful canopy will house your gypsy queen when she tells the fortunes of the willing guests.
Set the pitch for your party with invitations inscribed in white ink on black cut-out skull and cross bones: BEWARE! Bring your luck with you Friday night, October 31 To Bob Wyman's at 8.00 P.M. YOU'LL NEED IT! Be a black cat when you greet your guests at the door and hand each one a rabbit's foot to guard him well as he walks under the tall stepladder arching the doorway. Your black-cat costume need be no more than a black-cat mask and a black rope tail fastened under your belt. If the rest of your clothes are dark it will carry the catty illusion.
Usher the girls into a room so dimly lighted they'll not loiter long to primp. A long, jagged, black crayon mark drawn diagonally across the mirror will remind them that bad luck is loose in the house tonight.
A huge number 13 over the door of the boys' room will warn them of the peril of the night as well as huge black-cat cut-outs taped to the walls.
Before the party type a list of Bad Omens or Superstitions, one to a card. Then cut each card into several pieces. Scramble them and place several pieces in each envelope. Hand an envelope to each guest as he enters. By exchanging pieces with the other guests he can get the right pieces to formulate one complete superstition. Here are some familiar superstitions to use: 1. A broken mirror will bring you seven years of bad luck. 2. If you sing before breakfast you will cry before night. 3. If a black cat crosses your path you will have bad luck. 4. To walk under a ladder is extremely bad luck. 5. You'll never finish anything started on Friday. 6. If you put on a garment wrong side out it's bad luck to change. 7. It's bad luck to sneeze before breakfast. 8. It's bad luck to rock an empty chair. This mixer will give the guests something to do immediately upon arrival and avoid any stilted, awkward moments.
Next seat the guests on the floor in two lines facing each other. Appoint the first man of each line captain. Give each captain a double handful of Bad-Luck Corn. Instruct him to lay his Bad Luck (Corn) in a pile in front of his neighbor.
The object of the game is to see which team can first pass the corn down the line and back. Any spilled corn must be gathered up and passed along. It's quite a trick to pass this much corn fast without dropping kernels.
