Neighborhood Halloween Party
Get the little ones psyched for trick-or-treating with a neighborhood Halloween party. Gather neighborhood kids and their parents together for food and drinks before the march from door to door. Make your neighborhood Halloween party a success with fa“boo”lous invitations, decorations, favors and activities.
Neighborhood Halloween party ideas can range from decorating the neighborhood for Halloween festivities to having a Halloween night pre-party. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Invitations: Find Halloween party invitations on Punchbowl that you can use to invite neighbors to the party and to coordinate menu items. Leave the organizing work to Punchbowl! Use Punchbowl’s Potluck feature to plan food for the party. Just create a list of what you need and let guests sign up for an item when they RSVP! Also ask that kids wear costumes. Encourage parents to dress up for the party as well.
- Decorations: Create neighborhood Halloween decorations for the party. Leave the scary Halloween decorations in the closet. Display decorations appropriate for all Halloween party-goers, both old and young. Carve pumpkins and place candles inside. Place the pumpkins on your front door steps. Purchase a witch’s brew cauldron and fill it with candy for the kids. Hang spider webs and spiders throughout the party. You should also hang pictures of friendly ghosts and witches on the walls. Be sure to decorate the doorways and banisters with orange and black crepe streamers!
- Activities: Have the kids parade in a circle to show off their costumes. Ask each child to name his or her costume. Award prizes for most creative, best homemade, scariest, funniest and cutest costumes. Another Halloween activity idea is to hang a piñata for all the kids on the block. Give the kids a head start on their candy collection!
- Favors: Purchase glow sticks and flashlights for Halloween party favors. Hand out the favors at the end of the party, as the kids leave for trick-or-treating. Help keep the kids stay safe on their trick-or-treating adventure in the dark!
Take advantage of a great opportunity to have fun with your neighbors. This year, take your Halloween fest to the next level and create a “boo”tiful night to remember.
