Fun Halloween Party Ideas for Everyone

Halloween is fast becoming one of the biggest seasonal celebrations in the UK.  It is a well-loved time of the year by children and adults alike. Read on for fun Halloween party ideas for everyone, these are guaranteed to keep your guests howling long after the celebrations have finished.  In this blog you will discover ideas for themes, games and party bags. Don’t forget, Halloween is for everyone and if you are organising a party, with a mixture of children and adults, these ideas could come in handy.  There are plenty of tips for organising mixed-age parties!

Halloween Party Ideas

Start the plans with eerie decorations in mind, candles, spiders and carved pumpkins.  Creepy spider webs, glow spiders and stretchy skeletons will all make a great addition to the festivities.  Set a theme, add spooky games and have prizes at the ready.  Create a feast of frightful snacks and include decorated cup-cakes (or have your guests decorate their own) and included a bubbling witches brew (red fruit punch). Have your guests show off their best monster moves to a playlist of Halloween hits and send everyone home with some fabulous Halloween filled party bags.

Halloween Party Themes

Halloween is like a candy store of themes for everyone! When armed with face paints and themed masks  it’s a breeze to morph your guests into the perfect characters for your spooky soirée!

  • Throw a fang-tastic vampire party

Issue all your guests with a set of fangs and one of our Dracula Capes that comes with a Pumpkin designed bag ideal for Trick or Treating.  Vampires lend themselves to a variety of styles which can be toned down for children.  Think Vampirina (age 5+) / The Little Vampire (age 7+) / The Addams Family (age 8+) / Buffy the Vampire (age 13+) / Vampire Diaries (age 15+)

  • Witch theme:

Witches are fantastic for Halloween parties.  Much like vampires, witches come in all shapes and sizes. Ranging from timeless classics such as the Wicked Witch of the East from Wizard of Oz to the enchanting witches casting spells at Hogwarts.  Pointy hats or a sequin witch mask will add to the fun and you could consider setting up a witches potion stations where kids can mix their very own colourful concoctions.

  • Superheroes

If you’re concerned about the Halloween party being too spooky and scary for children who are attending your party, a superhero theme is a fantastic idea. You could play lots of fun superhero themed games and give out superhero party bag fillers as prizes for the party guests who win games

  • Pumpkin Patch Party

Transforming your party area into a colourful pumpkin patch is an ideal theme for younger children through to adults.  Everyone loves a pumpkin carving competition; set up a station complete with carving tools and stencils and offer prizes for the funniest, scariest and most original designs.  Our Halloween party bag fillers and favours double up as fabulous prizes too.  Double the fun and double the treats!

Halloween Party Games and Activities

Party games and activities offer many fun Halloween party ideas for everyone.  In addition to pumpkin carving and fancy-dress competitions you could turn your home in a mini haunted house and have adults join in to entertain the kids.  Spooky treasure hunts, creepy crafts, Halloween movie nights and themed food and drinks will all serve to add laughter and fun to the party.  Consider too a spine-tingling Halloween themed monster-packed game of pass the parcel with our ready-made spooky 10 or 15 layered ready wrapper version.  Crank up the spook and fun factor with these Halloween party ideas.

Pumpkin Tic-Tac-Toe

Remember Tic-Tac-Toe, a game we played as a kid and won every time by knowing exactly which place to put the X or the O first? Here is a pumpkin spin to it.

Take small pumpkins, tape Xs and Os on them, create a tic-tac-toe board on the table and let the fun begin. How about making it spookier? Turn off the lights and let the grin of the jack-o’-lantern be the first thing in their sights. It is a fun game with not much creativity involved. But don’t mistake it for being simple. It is also lots of fun.  You could even get your guests to make their own carve-free jack-o-lanterns with pumpkins, a selection of markers, some craft paper and some glue.  We love this no-carve-pumpkin idea on YouTube

Pass the Skeleton Bone Race

This unique race idea for kids and teens makes the sports spookier and more entertaining. Take a plastic skeleton bone and a ball of yarn. Attach the bone to the yarn by making a knot at one end of the bone, then make teams of four or more.  When you are ready yell go; starting with the first player slide the skeleton bone up one sleeve of their arm, across and down their other sleeve.  Then hand it to the next player to do the same until all players are connected by yarn.  The first team successfully connected with yarn and the last player holding the skeleton bone is the winner.

It is kid-friendly for various age groups, uncomplex, and fun. It has charm, and you can quickly get skull-bone party bags to let the games begin.

Pumpkin Golf

There is nothing like going to a putt-putt golf course and trying your trick shots to get the score by putting the ball in the hole. Hollow out a pumpkin, make a hole, and let the games begin.

Take a sheet of paper, and place one end in the pumpkin’s mouth and the other at the starting point. Start playing and watch as you put a hole in one to feel the balls to your pumpkin. Simple and versatile words for this party idea, and it won’t take much time for you to put them together.
