How to have a home-based Halloween celebration
This is the Party Pieces guide to celebrating Halloween at home in a grand and ghoulish way, whether you are holding an adult party, arranging a Halloween party for your kids, or you just want to make sure your house looks the part for October 31st and the days preceding up to it. It is brimming with suggestions for games, décor, trick-or-treating, and much more. Proceed, if you dare.
Ideas for Halloween games
Bobbing for apples is one of the simplest and most classic games you can play at home during Halloween festivities. Players take turns attempting to snag an apple with just their mouths while keeping their hands securely behind their backs in a bucket of water filled with apples!
Another alternative is to let the kids get dirty by hiding the eyeballs in spaghetti or slime and having them discover them while wearing blindfolds. Alternatively, you might organise a treasure hunt for handcrafted eyeballs throughout your house or yard (use ping pong balls). You might also modify Pin the Tail on the Donkey to Pin the Nose on the Witch; have your children make a poster and nose for the witch. Halloween-themed versions of well-known party games are fun for younger kids. For example, you can play musical chairs while listening to suitable music like Monster Mash, Thriller, or the Addams Family theme.
Ideas for carving and decorating pumpkins
Halloween would not be the same without a pumpkin or two. Joining children in carving one is an enjoyable pastime. After using a carving set to cut out the face of your pumpkin, have the kids decorate it with stickers and glitter. Another creative approach to make your Jack OLanterns stand out in your neighborhood is to paint pumpkins. The most important thing is to allow their imaginations to go wild!

Ideas for decorating for Halloween outside
Trick or treating is the traditional Halloween tradition, so deck up your front door, pathway, and yard with decorations fit for a haunted house to frighten off any would-be young monsters. For optimum effect, use these Bat Stickers to decorate your windows or construct a giant spiders web in your front lawn!
Ideas for decorating for Halloween indoors
When it comes to decorating for Halloween at home, the inside of your house is just as important as the outside. Use a variety of balloons, garlands, and hanging decorations from our Halloween assortment to create a truly terrifying mansion. A black light-up tree, a hanging skeleton decoration, a honeycomb spider decoration, and light-up bat bunting are some of the attractions.
Your guests will be terrified by your balloon displays, which include this incredible Halloween Balloon Arch, Spider Web Balloons, and Blood Print Balloons.
Halloween Costumes
Having a box of simple accessories on hand for your family and guests is a terrific idea, as Halloween is a great opportunity to dress up. Along with a range of non-Halloween-specific themed clothes, we have witches hats, a sequin pumpkin mask, and a hairband shaped like bat wings.
Ideas for spooky Halloween dishes
Putting up a spread is almost definitely a necessary part of preparing for your Halloween celebration at home. This is yet another fantastic opportunity for you and your kids to engage in a hands-on activity. Even though you might have a hard time getting them to sample any pumpkin soup you make with the leftovers from the carving session, they will love the sweet delicacies that we suggest in our Halloween party food blog. You must try the Menacing Monster Cookies and the Spooky Ghost Muffins! Make this Coffin & Zombie Arms Donut Stand the focal point of your party table and serve beverages in these gory Blood Pouches.
A stay-at-home party is usually guaranteed to succeed when it involves movie night. Select a family-friendly film to curl up in front of. Our top picks include Hotel Transylvania 4, the Room on a Broom adaption, ET (Amazon Prime), or the timeless classic, and the original Ghostbusters, which older children would like.
