Fun Halloween Party Decorating Tips

Throwing a Halloween party this year? Awesome! Can we get an invite? We’ll even help you plan it. Here are a few fun, awesome, and simple party decorating tips that won’t break the bank.

 

Pumpkin punch bowl: buy the largest pumpkin you can find (most grocery stores will have tons of them). Next cut it in half and clean it out (as thoroughly as you can). Now throw your punch or a mixed drink inside and let your guests enjoy.

 

Glowing eyes: start saving your old toilet paper rolls–you’ll need them for your party. Once you have five or ten rolls, cut spooky looking eyes into each one. Next put a glow stick inside each one and strategically place them in the darkest areas of your living space. Your guest might be spooked seeing glowing evil eyes in your apartment.

 

Scary entrance: the door and entrance into your apartment is the first thing party guest will see, so be sure to set the tone with a few scary decorations. Use orange lights, googly eyes and some blood.
