Halloween is one of the most enjoyable holidays throughout the year, so why should kids have all the fun? October 31 can be the perfect Halloween party for adults too! If you’re planning to throw a spooky bash to celebrate, make sure you’ve got everything you need to make it as memorable as ever.
Pick Your Theme Early
Don’t leave things last minute, or else you’ll just give yourself unnecessary stress. Set this before you even think about your guest list so you can start computing a budget and picking a worthy outfit or costume.
Having a theme can give you a direction to follow when picking out decor and going through the whole planning process. It’s also good to pick early so you can inform guests about what the theme is as soon as possible. Tons of guests may end up rejecting your invitation because they didn’t get a costume on time.
Set Up a Halloween Menu That’s To Die For
People always remember the food at a party. Make sure you’re serving treats worth tweeting about. You want your guests to enjoy the spread and clamor for more, not steer clear of your food like it’s a poltergeist.
You can pick your entries based on how good they are and how easy it is to eat them. Add the Halloween theme to the dishes from there. If you have the ideas but lack the execution, you can even get a private chef or caterer to handle this side of things and make it the perfect Halloween party for adults.
Incorporate Decorations That Complement What You’re Serving
Since it’s a wacky time where people just want to have fun, you’re freer to mix and match as you please. Of course, it also depends on whether you’re trying to be tasteful and classy or fun and spooky.
Whether you’re going more childish or mature for your theme, it’s best practice to make your decor highlight your food. This way, it all ties in together, and you don’t risk overlooked food that just goes uneaten through the night.
Make Your Playlist and Activities Out of This World
The scariest thing that could happen is if your party turned out to be boring. Set up activities that get everyone to participate and queue up a rad spooky playlist to talk about, even just use as background noise. Lots of music streaming platforms already have a bunch of Halloween playlists you can easily choose from, but you can also curate it yourself.
Bring In the Ghoulworthy Drinks
This can be a highlight for any party. Make some themed cocktails or name any existing one a good pun, and suddenly you’re ready for happy hour. It’s quite a bewitching hour for guests that are really looking for alcoholic beverages.
Make sure your party guests loosen up and have a good time by serving delicious cocktails infused with the Halloween spirit. A private chef can handle the bar and truly serve some unforgettable drinks.
