- Pumpkins are a major symbol for Halloween so that means buying a lot of them for decorations, treats and games. So instead of going to a grocery store to buy pumpkins look for a local pumpkin farm. They are much cheaper in farms. So take a trip on a Sunday with your kids to a farm and buy pumpkins of all sizes.
- You can buy candleholders with Halloween symbols but you can make votive candleholders by emptying out mini pumpkins or be creative and create carved faces on them. A practical and inexpensive lighting decoration for Halloween!
- For centerpiece, you can use dried brown leaves, empty dried branches and wild berries to create a creepy autumn table centerpiece. Use a black ribbon bow to tie the bunch and put it in a creepy vase or skull shaped pot. You can even ask your party guests to bring carved pumpkins and set them on a table for display. Since each pumpkin would be of different size and distinct carved designs, it will make a great party decoration.
- A great Halloween party menu is fresh vegetables and fruits served in a hollowed out pumpkin. To turn a pumpkin into a bowl, just cut its top and clean it from inside. You can even make the top edges into a jagged design. For dishing up the dips for chips and veggies, use mini pumpkin as bowls.
- Glow-in-the-dark spiders, bats, ghosts and skeletons work great for an eerie effect. To give your party place a scarier effect write terrifying Halloween messages or draw some body outlines on the walls or on front walk or on mirror in the washroom using colored chalks or erasable fluorescent paint. Black lights also work great stimulate the spooky effect.
- For party game, make the participants sit in a circle and start a ghost story and ask each guest to add on to the story until it gets to a scary or hilarious ending!
- A pumpkin-carving contest is also a great source for Halloween party entertainment. Provide carving tools and small pumpkins and exciting prizes for the deserving candidate.
- For the entrance, make a scarecrow to welcome your guests and trick or treaters. All you need to do is stuff a pair of old jeans and a shirt with newspaper and a mask or carved pumpkin foe the head. Add some straw to complete it.
- Since you would be scooping out a lot of pumpkins, don't waste their seeds. You can make delicious roasted snacks with them.
