Halloween-Planning A Party

Are you the person that likes to give the party? Would you like to have a great party? If this is the case then lets get ready to party! Preparation for the best Halloween party takes time and energy. Planning a party takes a lot of work to make it a great party. I encourage others to share their stories of parties you have had in the past both the good and bad party experiences so others can learn. By helping each other we will make this Halloween the best yet and everyone will have a great time!.

As you know giving a party is stressful but by planning and preparation means that you will have as much fun as your guests do which is how it should be. Encouraging friends and/or family to help prepare and plan will help add to having a fun experience for all. This can also save you some money which decreases the stress.

Step 1: Take out a piece of paper and start with how many people and ages of people that will invite.Write the names and the age of the people you are inviting then count up the number. This puts everything into perspective so you can begin the list of ideas.

Step 2: Begin brainstorming making a list of everything you can think of related to possible games and entertainment. Keep in mind that even though Halloween is not just a kids holiday and it brings out the kid in all ages. Adults enjoy being a kid so they may enjoy playing the same games as the kids.There is always some adult that will start the games with enthusiasm and this encourages the rest to the guests. I have had some great parties where adults and kids played games like duck, duck, goose, goose or red rover and had a great time Begin with all the activities you want to do even if it sounds silly at the time. We will add and subtract from the list later.

Step 3: Send out invitations about 3-4 weeks in advance to allow people time to RSVP. This will give you plenty of time to target in on what you need for the festivities. Remember to keep your brainstorming list close by to add things you may think of at a later time. Being creative will give a Halloween party that everyone will talk about for years to come. I will be post my list and hope that you will leave feedback for others to get ideas as well.
