It’s that time of year: Pumpkin Spice Lattes are out, the leaves are brilliant shades of yellow, red, and orange, and, if it’s chilly where you are, you’ve started bundling up in warm blanket scarves. The best part of fall is Halloween, and if you’re a big fan of the holiday, then you’ve probably already bought (or made) your costume. And chances are, you’ve started planning an epic party. Whether you want to make everything as alcoholic as possible, or if your event will be a family affair, we’ve got some suggestions for how to throw your best Halloween party ever.
1. Start With a Spooky Invitation
Even if you’ve already sent an email or Facebook invite to your guests, you can set the Halloween spirit with a creative and spooky paper invitation (We know, snail mail, right?). A fun invitation will help get your guests excited for your Halloween bash.

2. Set Up a Great Theme Playlist
Like this one by Topsify on Spotify. If you’re daring, make your own.. but Monster Mash better be on it! If you want to stick to Halloween love songs like the classic “I Put a Spell On You” (and who wouldn’t) try this playlist of Halloween romance favorites from PopSugar.

3. For the Kiddos: DIY Pumpkin Pie Playdough
If you’re inviting kids to your monster bash, make this easy pumpkin pie playdough beforehand for them to squish and mold into jack-o-lanterns, ghouls, ghosts, and witches. It’s super quick and easy to make. The pumpkin pie spice makes it smell like a pie fresh from the oven!

4. Create Your Own Photo Booth
With everyone dressed up in their most fantastic Halloween garb, you know they’ll want to snap a selfie at any and every moment. Setting up your own photo booth will give them a fun way to remember the party, get their selfie fix, and be goofy in their costumes!

There are so many fun, cute foods that will be sure to fill up your guests with delicious Halloween goodness. Make mac and cheese with pumpkin shaped noodles, and then bake them into mac and cheese bites! These themed foods are sure to be the hit of the party–until the desserts come out, of course!

8. Movies
Have some classic movies playing in the background for the kiddos to watch, and for your adult guests, too! Halloweentown, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Hocus Pocus are a few favorites.

9. Decorations
If you have a lot of orange going on with food and dessert choices, consider getting white pumpkins and sparkling decor to fill your space. The white pumpkins will provide a neutral and chic background for your quirky eats and utensils to shine. Plus, how cute is the bow tie ghost wine bottle cover?

10. House Decor
You’ll want an epic display for the facade of your house, and what better than the classic jack-o-lantern. Have the kids help you carve your favorite designs to welcome your guests into your home!
