Ideas on organizing Halloween Party

Our last year Halloween party was a huge success and everyone is still talking about it. This year we are going to use some of the ideas but we also have lots of new ones so we'll see how this one goes!

 

If you are hosting a party and not sure where to start here is some ideas for you:

1. Choose a theme for your party, it is always fun.

2. Get some large-scale decorations or a photo background. Everyone is so excited about it and it looks good on photos.

3. Potluck is the easiest way to save some time and work for the hostess.

 

4. Some food decor and colorful tableware is a must. It's Halloween and it should be fun! Get matching colors napkins, plates, silverware and table cloth. Ask your guests to decorate their dishes.

5. Chain stores have a wonderful selection of Halloween items but don't forget to check garage sales and thrift shops. They might have something unique.

6. If you make the decorations yourself, there is no need to be perfect. Use purchased or free printables for a wall decor, make a colorful pillow out of old Halloween t-shirt, a couple of garlands from cardstock cutouts and you will have some great OOAK things.

7. Be ready to offer your guests some games and dancing. Have costume, best decorated dish or best decorated pumpkin awards.

Halloween is so much fun. Organize it well and everyone will have a great time!

Thanksgiving charades

Every year we invite some friends over for a pre-Thanksgiving get-together to share food with us and give thanks. It is a very nice and welcoming day and it is always nice to see everyone.

Every hostess knows how important is to keep your guests occupied. Last year we tried to play just one game, charades and it turned out great! We had so much fun.

So if you are looking for some ideas for this Thanksgiving, try charades. The idea of the game is traditional but the tasks are Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving dinner related and this is what makes it fun. You can think of team prizes if you want, it will make it even better!

Here is how to play:

There are 2 teams of players. There are 4 cards for each team.

The game master shows a card to one team of one team.

This person will give clues to his/ her team to try to get them to guess what the answer is. The person explaining can only use the signs and body language.

Each team will have 3 minutes to guess.

Here is the ideas of the flash cards/ mini tasks for charades. Add your own if you want and have fun!:
