Three Exciting Halloween Party Ideas

Halloween is just around the corner and everyone is getting prepared for the best party of autumn. The kids are excited, the adults are getting everything in place for the big party, and the whole family is waiting for the homemade goodies (the cookies) and the special costumes. The party itself is the greatest attraction, but putting together every detail can also be exciting. You will be able to unlock the kids' imagination, work on your new cookie recipes, and choose one of the wonderfully crafted Halloween inflatables that kids will adore. At Mighty Bounce Moonwalks, we have the Lil Pirate's Ship combo which the kids all love, as well as other themed units.

Here are some Halloween party ideas that will make your party the oasis of fun in the neighborhood during this special night:

1. The children are the life of every Halloween party, and keeping them entertained will do wonders. Make sure that your child has plenty of guests and host the party for as many children as possible. Create an interesting game to make the fun even better. For instance, if your child is eight years old, you could invite eight of your kid's best friends. Keep in mind to have plenty teen or adult helpers around as a large flock of little ghosts can become quite demanding and chaotic.

2. Halloween parties are usually scheduled for the night time, but you shouldn't be limited by this rule. Instead, look for a great day time setting, like a garden. If the weather is good, you could decorate the gazebo into a scary ghost setting where everyone can have fun. An evening party can also act as a great prelude, where everyone will get warmed up with cookies, drinks and games. The children will get to know each other, study their costumes, giggle, get silly and scream their way to the main night time party. Keep in mind to provide plenty of warm clothes as the weather can be chilly during this time of the year. 

3. Keep children safe at all times. It's well known that children can become restless and excessively curious, especially in new surroundings. Add to this the special setting, the decorations and other distractions and you have the perfect recipe for an accident. This is why you should keep the party within certain limits and mark dangerous items around the house or garden. Use caution tape to limit the fun area, crisscrossed streamers, special colored signs and anything else that can protect the little monsters from harm. Add a fun "Beware: Haunted" sign next to the no enter zones, cut footprints to the bathroom and close the doors to the attic or basement.
