Keep reading for all of my best Halloween party ideas & get ready to be the hostess with the mostest!
Halloween Party Snack Ideas
Caramel Apples
Our favorite nostalgic snack! This one is also covid friendly because you can just grab one and go. You don't have to worry about double dipping or sharing any germs!
Candy corn
The Halloween classic! Who doesn't like candy corn? Just kidding, I know quite a few people that don't—however, every Halloween party has at least one candy corn lover, so may as well keep it around just in case! It's cute regardless!
Mummy Brie
Wrap some puff pastry across your Brie wheel and pop it in the oven for a few to cook the pastry and warm up your delicious cheese! Serve with crackers and viola, you have an adorable Halloween snack! Make it covid friendly by grabbing some mini Brie bites from Trader Joes—wrapping them all individually with puff pastry will be a labor of love, but it'll keep everyone safe from germs!
Red Velvet Cupcakes with Blood Icing
Instead of a red velvet cake, you can opt for red velvet cupcakes to minimize the spread of germs! Top them with white frosting and drip some translucent, red icing on top to look like blood! A spooky treat indeed!
Pumpkin deviled eggs
Another covid safe spooky snack that doesn't take long to make! Make some deviled eggs, pipe the mixture into the egg boats, top with some smoked paprika, and add a sprig of green onion or a single chive on top to look like a pumpkin stem!
Halloween Party Decoration Ideas
Halloween Streamers
The most classic of all classic decorations for any party is streamers! They're cheap, they're easy, and most of the time all they require is tape and scissors! Grab some orange and black or purple and green and hang them up in doorways, on the ceiling, or lining the walls for the ultimate Halloween vibe!
A Strobe Light & Fog machine
Have a bigger budget and a bit more time to plan? Grab a strobe light and fog machine before your party to amp up the spooky vibes! This combo is perfect for a haunted house themed Halloween party.
Lots and Lots of Taper Candles
Taper candles are in every old, haunted house and you can get them for cheap at almost any Dollar store or Michaels! Grab a ton of Taper candles in all different shapes and sizes for a spooky old house vibe.
Pumpkins and Gourds
Did I say streamers were the classic of all classic decorations? They may be, but come fall time, Pumpkins and gourds are about as classic as it gets. So, in addition to your streamers, be sure you stock up on cute pumpkins and gourds to scatter across your porch and living room to add the final touch!
