It’s October! It is time for pumpkin spiced lattes, apple picking, pumpkin carving, hayrides, and Halloween parties. Decorating for a Halloween party can be difficult! You need to have an element of scary and an element of fun, but avoiding looking too juvenile. We have just the tips to help you throw the perfect Halloween party.
- Photobooth
A photo booth at any party is a hit, but especially at a Halloween party. People are only in their costumes for one night. They planned, prepared, and created the idea. Everyone wants to take great pictures of their Halloween identity.
- DIY Photobooth
You do not need to rent a photo booth to have a great party. You can make your own! On a blank wall, create a spooky Halloween themed background. You can use ornate frames to add an old mansion feel. Drape fake spider webs around the frames to create an abandoned haunted house effect for the background of the photo.
Grab your digital camera. Set up a tripod. Set the timer on the camera. Now everyone can take photos of their costumes in an awesome Halloween-themed “photobooth!”
- Frame Instructions or Activities
Another great way to add flair to your party is by framing instructions and activities. Following the same idea as the photo booth, use ornate frames that have a rustic, haunted mansion look. Drape them in spiderwebs or paint them black to add the right spooky aesthetic.
You can frame the menu of food you’re serving. You can frame Halloween-themed cocktail recipes at the drink table. You can also frame instructions on how to use the photo booth!
- To-go Gifts
Another option is to give away frames in your party gift bags for people to frame the photos they took in your photo booth! It’s a unique and great way to remember the party.
- Activity
If your Halloween party is kid friendly, you’ll want an activity for them. Pumpkin carving is fun, but it requires supervision and can be very messy. Don’t stress about that. A different activity option is frame decorating! Have the kids decorate frames with Halloween-themed stickers, autumn colored puff paint, and permanent markers. It’s a great way to get them involved in the atmosphere and keep them entertained during the evening while the adults mingle!
With these decoration ideas from Frame Warehouse, you’ll be setting yourself up for an exciting and memorable Halloween party!
