Party for Halloween 2016: a few ideas
The celebration of Halloween has long been in the order of things- on the night of October 31 to November 1, few people with astonishment look at young people dressed up in costumes of evil spirits. Some celebrate Halloween at a nightclub, but many prefer a "club party" home party. How to make a Halloween party a success?
The key to the success of any festive event -this is a thorough preparation. That during the holiday everyone was happy, the Halloween party should be planned in advance. What should be foreseen in the first place?
Let's start with the design of the room. The party for Halloween must necessarily be atmospheric (after all, this holiday is valued for the frightening entourage), and the atmosphere creates an interior. Draperies made of black and orange fabric, pumpkin lights, artificial cobwebs, paper silhouettes of bats and ghosts on windows and walls, all sorts of frightening things from the shop of jokes - everything will work! More information about decorating a house for Halloween you can read in our article "Ideas for Halloween".
We need to take care of food in advance. The pulp left after making the pumpkin lantern can be started for cooking Halloween dishes (a pie or a pumpkin casserole will perfectly decorate your festive table). A decorate the confectionery can be a web of chocolate syrup or a "bloody" glaze. Another traditional treat for Halloween is apples in caramel.
Even the most common dishes can be served in the spirit ofholiday. Say, salads can be decomposed not in salad bowls, but in scraped halves of pumpkins. Ice for cocktails can be made not in the form of cubes, but in the form of ... fingers! To do this, you should fill the water with a rubber glove and put it in the refrigerator. When the ice freezes, coat the frozen "hand" with warm water to remove the glove. And then defiantly break off the finger behind your finger and put it in a cocktail. By the way, making a list of cocktails for a party, do not forget "Bloody Mary". Suitable and "witch's potion" - a punch in a bowler hat.
Well, what party for Halloween without a dress code? Atmosphere in fact create not only the interior and the covered table, but also the participants themselves. Therefore, it is worthwhile to warn the guests in advance to come in fancy dresses. You can not limit yourself in choosing suits, but you can make a more narrow-theme party: for example, all dress up only in the heroes of fairy tales or comic books.
Another option - a party in the madhouse: half of the guests are patients, half are hospital attendants and doctors, drinks are served in beakers and eaten with ascorbic. It is advisable to prepare in advance beautifully designed invitations for guests, in addition to the time and venue of the party, wishes for the dress code are indicated.
But no entourage will not save the party, if youdo not know what to do with the guests. There are many options, it all depends on the company and its preferences. Virtually a win-win option is mass games and contests, for example, Crocodile (Pantomime), Twister, etc. (several examples of games and contests for Halloween you can find in our article). Just do not forget to modify them a bit for the holiday, say, guessing in pantomime only "terrible" words.
For more quiet companies, the "Mafia" will do. Also modified - because you have a Halloween party. Instead of the mafia, let there be vampires, instead of sheriffs - a hunter for evil spirits (Van Helsing, Buffy ... yes anyone!). You can organize a game in the "Mafia" based on some horror movie, and all the players will be his heroes.
By the way, about the horror films. You can organize a movie marathon at a party - when will you still be able to watch all the series "Nightmare on Elm Street" in a row? Just before viewing, make sure that in case you have something, where to place guests for the night - perhaps, after such a dose of "horror movies" some will be afraid to go home through the dark streets.
The maiden company can tell fortune, because fortune telling -this is one of the traditions of Halloween. You can even arrange a session of spiritualism, only cautiously: there is always a chance to get someone into our world who will not be easy to get back later. Why take chances?
And most importantly: party for Halloween is sure to be successful, if you want it. Even the most exquisite dishes and chic costumes will not help create a festive atmosphere if you do not have the appropriate mood. So tune into fun (frightening fun), and everything else will follow!
