Spooktacular Fun: How to Plan a Halloween Party for the Whole Family

Halloween, with its enchanting mix of costumes, sweets and eerie decorations, is the perfect occasion to bring families together for a night of spooky fun. If you're thinking of hosting a Halloween party that caters to both young ghouls and grown-up ghosts, you're in for a treat! In this guide, we'll walk you through step by step on how to plan a fang-tastic Halloween party filled with games and activities that everyone can enjoy.

1. Set the Date and Time

Let's get this party on the calendar! Pick a date that suits everyone's schedule. If Halloween falls on a weekday, no problemo! You can celebrate on the nearest weekend for maximum monster merriment.

2. Spookify Your Invites

Time to send out the ghostly summons! Grab or create some eerie invitations that scream Halloween. Don't forget to include the date, time, location, and a special note about costumes. We want everyone looking boo-tiful!
Want to go digital? Set up a Facebook event! With digital invites you can keep your guests up to date with the plans and share ideas in one place. Social media event spaces also give their host the opportunity to thank everyone for attending and share a few pictures of the fun. It's a great way to show appreciation and keep the positive energy going!

3. Create a Haunted Haven

Transform your space into a creeptastic wonderland! Cobwebs, pumpkins, skeletons, and eerie lights – go all out! And don't forget a photo booth corner for epic memories (We would love for you to tag us @hannahsgamesco !)

Divide the guests into teams and give each team a roll of toilet paper. One person from each team will be the "mummy" and the rest will wrap them up in toilet paper. The first team to fully wrap their mummy wins.

b. Bobbing for Apples

Fill a large tub with water and float apples in it. Without using their hands, guests must try to grab an apple using only their mouths.

c. Halloween Scavenger Hunt

Create a list of Halloween-themed items or clues for guests to find around the party area. Provide small prizes for those who successfully complete the hunt. Check out our ready made version Halloween Treasure Hunt Game at Hannah's Games!

d. Pin the Tail on the Black Cat

A Halloween twist on the classic party game. Blindfold the players and have them try to pin the tail on a black cat poster. -

e. Monster Musical Statues

Play some spooky tunes and have guests dance around. When the music stops, they must freeze in their best monster pose.
