Happy Halloween!

With Halloween just around the corner, it’s time to gather the family together, invite some friends over, and celebrate the spooky season. Make sure you're ready to throw the ultimate Halloween Party for Kids and Adults! Keep reading for all our tricks and treats...


Drinks
Halloween calls for creative and fun drinks for all to enjoy. For the kids, try easy creations like“Jack-O-Lantern Punch” (base of Orange Soda), “Zombie Bash” (base of Mountain Dew), or “Swamp Potion” (a mixture of Sprite and Mountain Dew.) For the adults, Apple Cider Mules, Bourbon Apple Cider, and Caramel Apple Sangria will cast a spell over your guests. For the hostess with the mostess, GigMasters provides a list of the top bartenders in your area to help make the party the spookiest it will ever be!

 

Food
No tricks, only treats at this Halloween Party! Sweets are a must during these fall festivities so for the kids try monster rice-crispy treats, ghost decorated cupcakes, candy apples, and mummy brownies. (Don't forget some creepy crawly candy!) These sweet treats are fun and easy to make and will be loved by all the princesses and superheroes that attend the party. For the adults, apple and gouda grilled cheeses, apple cheddar chicken melts, and butternut squash Alfredo pasta. These dishes though delicious, may take some time so be sure to look at GigMasters' list of caterers for this event!

 

Decorations
Nothing screams Halloween like pumpkin carving, bobbing for apples, and hayrides. Turn your backyard into a Halloween carnival! Set up one long table for the adults decorated with a spooky tablecloth and candles. For the kids, set up a few small table stations including pumpkin decorating, enjoying a snack, or trading candy. Make the tables look extra spooky by scattering candy corn on the surface and leaving a short scary riddle for the kids to read and figure out.

 

Entertainment and Extras
The perfect party has the perfect tunes, so a DJ is a must. While Monster Mash plays in the background, get the kid’s costumes in full effect by having a face painter add something extra to their disguises. Finally, Halloween celebrates the theme of magic so why not have a magician entertain the kids while the adults enjoy their Apple Cider Mules?!
