Halloween is a fun holiday that lots of people start planning weeks and months in advance to make their Halloween party memorable. So, how to hold a perfect Halloween party this season? Here are some party-planning tips for a terrifying good time.

1. Send out invitations in advance
Send out your party invitations one or two weeks before the party. You’d better clearly state instructions about themes, costumes, and when the party begins and ends to avoid confusion

2. Get help in decorating
Allow some guests to arrive early and help with the Halloween decorations. This will ease your workload and add some creative minds

3. Supply food and candy
Prepare plenty of goodies. Try dressing up your food to look like gross things such as eyeballs, body parts, etc. Make the punch look like blood.

4. Prepare some Halloween party games
Certain games such as pumpkin bowling, witch hunt game, trick or treat game, and candy corn catch can help make a Halloween party interesting and funny. Here you can find more games that are suitable for a Halloween party.

5. Have adult supervision
Adult supervision is necessary for safety reasons as well as preventing any property damage. Adults can help with the party, while the guests have fun.

6. Have a camera handy
Take pictures and arrange them in a photo album to show your guests after the party. It’s hilarious to watch how the costumes evolve over the years. Also, you can shot some video clips for the excellent moment of your party to send to the guests.

If you happen to have PowerPoint installed on your computer, you can use it easily to make a video or DVD for the photos and videos you take together. And then send the video or DVD you made with PowerPoint to guests who attended the Halloween party as a gift.

Here is how PowerPoint will help you create an excellent video/DVD for your Halloween party:
1. All the photos and video clips taken at the Halloween party can be displayed in PowerPoint in sequence
2. PowerPoint allows you to insert comments to the photos and videos inserted.
3. You can make your Halloween party show more pleasant with a suitable background music
4. More than 50 animations for you to make your Halloween party show more vivid

After you finish creating the Halloween PowerPoint show, the next step is to convert the Halloween PowerPoint slideshow to video or burn the presentation onto DVD disc.

Make the most of October and have a great time. Start some Halloween traditions with friends and family.

If you want to get the most out of your werewolf Halloween costumes, why not host a werewolf Halloween party this year? With a little thoughtful planning you can have a howling good time in the comfort and safety of your own home.

Timing is everything. Mail out invitations 3 to 4 weeks before the party and be sure to include a deadline to RSVP. Halloween is a popular time of the year and you may be competing with several other events for your guests’ time. The sooner you get the word out the better the opportunity you’ll have for a good turnout.

Send invitations designed to pique more than the average interest in your party. Use a werewolf-themed motif. You may be better off making your own Halloween invitations rather than trying to find them at the party store. Come up with your own design or check out Halloween clipart for werewolves, full moons, howling wolves, or other werewolf-themed designs. Find coordinating colored paper or card stock for a unique and attention-grabbing announcement.

Play up the atmosphere. If possible choose a date when the moon will be full or nearly full (and cross your fingers for clear skies). This may not work if your goal is to party precisely on Ten Thirty One, depending on how far away Halloween falls from the next full moon date. But just imagine how enchanting the evening will be if you can pull this off.

Consider playing werewolf-howling sound effects outside (hopefully your neighbors are all invited! If not make sure you touch base with them ahead of time). Get a fog-making machine and set it outside near the entry for a misty, ominous effect. You could also fill a tub with dry ice and douse it periodically with hot water to create mist, but a word of caution about this: dry ice needs to be handled with care because of the chemicals it contains. It should be kept in a well-ventilated area and never come into contact with your skin (it’ll burn!).

If you have a projection system you can play werewolf movies and project them onto an exterior front wall for all of your arriving guests and passerby to see. It’s a great way to create atmosphere and generate excitement. If an exterior wall won’t work then bring it inside and use an interior wall; you’ll still set the mood in great style.

Indoors you can place a few werewolf props and decorations strategically throughout the house. Print off some werewolf trivia and stick them up on the walls or on counters and tables for guests to peruse at their leisure. Silver beads make great silver bullets. Place several beads in bowls and place them throughout the house. Mix it up with a few vampire decorations for added effect. Play werewolf videos in the background.

The menu can include an assortment of werewolf-inspired recipes and other spooky treats along with traditional party food fare.

Werewolf costumes are a must for the guests. Even jeans with a werewolf T-shirt would fit right in. Award prizes for the most interesting, creative and scariest costumes.

If kids are invited, arrange for a few of the adult guests to take them around the neighborhood for trick-or-treating. When they return, they can watch werewolf movies while they go through their loot (after an adult has already made sure the treats are safe). Have some Halloween printables handy such as Halloween bingo, Halloween word scramble, Halloween maze and other games to keep them entertained.

Gather guests of all ages in a darkened, quiet room for spine-tingling story-telling time.

If your party is a hit consider making it an annual event. You can even combine merry-making with charity. Ask guests to bring non-perishable food items to be donated to the local soup kitchen. Or make it a “funraiser” where guests make a donation in an amount of their choosing to raise money for a favorite cause.

Whether you plan a one-time bash or make it an annual affair, the possibilities are endless for making your event the place to be. Happy howl-o-ween everyone!

Halloween falls on a Saturday this year – a perfect opportunity to have a Halloween Party. Whether you are having a child’s party or adult party there are many themes and ideas that will keep your guests talking for years. Here are a few fun and easy suggestions:

Costume Party. This is nothing new, but you can put a twist on it. You can make it a Pirates and Princess party for kids or a male/female pirates party for adults. Famous people party works best for adults, with costumes available for celebrities, sports personalities, politicians, etc. If your crowd isn’t the type to put on elaborate costumes, simply ask everyone to dress in black and orange.

Non-Spooky party. Kids, especially young ones, can be scared by the darker side of Halloween. If you want a non-spooky party for kids, try a different theme like a sports party (where guests have to dress up like dancers, hockey players, football players, sumo wrestlers, etc.) Super heroes is also a fun theme. A girls’ party could be princesses and fairies. Animal costumes is another easy crowd favorite – especially if you decorate the room like a Halloween barn.

Invitations. Home made invitations are always fun and impressive. You can print photos, clip art or pictures from the internet to glue on paper. You can also cut the invitation card into silhouettes – like ghosts, pumpkins, witch hats, etc. The invitation could have something that springs out when the viewer opens it. Stickers and confetti are easy ways to decorate cards. Keep the card stock in Halloween colors like black, orange, purple or green.

Decorations. My favourite party look for Halloween is to replace all of the lights in the party room with black lights. Put black tablecloths on the tables, cover the walls with black paper or black posters. Cotton batting, spread thin to look like cobwebs, can decorate your black table cloth. Get white plastic plates so they will glow in the dark and appear to be floating on the table. For kids, Mountain Dew is a great beverage to put in clear plastic glasses, since it glows in the dark. Strings of orange lights are available at many party and dollar stores. Use these to line doorways and walls, or put them inside pumpkins instead of candles.

Food: Black and orange foods are always appropriate (such as as orange cheese, Cheetos, black licorice, chocolate, pumpkin cupcakes) as is spooky baked goods and candy. Carve out pumpkins and line them with clear plastic bags to use as chip bowls or flower centerpieces. A glowing fruit punch bowl or colored ice cubes make for fun drinks.

Music. Burn a cd ahead of time with fun Halloween and Thriller type songs. Sound effects are fun to mix in. You can often rent or buy dry ice machines or disco balls if you want to make the dance floor really “spooktacular”.

With the right settings, you can create a pretty cool looking jack-o-lantern out of any pumpkin in Photoshop! Image: photoxpress.com

Halloween usually conjures up images of strange shapes, dark movie characters and popular animals. These days though, these common figures can be made in more ways than one and using an assortment of different materials. Here are the top eleven variations on the most popular Halloween arts and crafts for kids.

Bats

There’s no need for you to buy plastic bats for Halloween since you can make your own. You can easily cut patterns or two dimensional bats from construction paper or cartolina. Bat Halloween arts and crafts for kids can also be creatively made out of egg cup cartons to hang or out of clothes pins to clip on curtains.

Pumpkins

These days, you don’t have to worry about messy pumpkin carvings anymore. You can easily have pumpkin paper lanterns as Halloween arts and crafts for kids projects. If you don’t like lanterns, you can still make pumpkins out of paper plates, milk containers and construction paper. One other great alternative would be pumpkin baskets made of paper mache.

Witches

Witch Halloween arts and crafts for kids can be made out of paper plates and cardboard. As an alternative, you can create a witch doctor look instead of a western witch by incorporating beaded necklaces and homemade stuffed voodoo dolls.

Spiders

One favorite Halloween arts and crafts for kids is the spider. Spiders can be as simple as construction paper or egg cup carton hangers. They can also be made of pom poms or colored cotton balls.

Vampires

Vampire masks with fangs can be easily made with paper plates. More imposing ornamental life size vampires however can be made out of coat hangers and black garbage bags.

UFO

Aliens and UFOs are not common Halloween figures but stories of alien kidnappings and abduction makes great Halloween tales. Make UFOs out of paper plates that you can hang from the ceiling. You might also want to complement the ships with cookies shaped like stereotypical aliens instead of ginger bread men.

Worms in Cans

Worms in cans can be made of brown crepe paper. They can seem yuckier to the touch though if you use gummy candies and cooked spaghetti.

Ghosts

Ghosts can also come in variations. You can make ghost Halloween arts and crafts for kids made of socks, packing foam, old cloths, crepe paper, helium filled balloons, white painted jars, tissue and clay.

Mummy

Use tissue paper or gauze and wrap it around a jar for a mummified figure. Cut out some eyes from construction paper and stick them on the jars before you put on the tissue so you can have the eyes slightly covered and just peeking.

Cats

What’s Halloween without black cats? Use paper plates to create cat masks or some cotton and crepe paper to create billowing streamers.

Skeletons

White or luminous paint on a black figure would be perfect for the usual skeleton man. You can however create a good looking skeleton with different kinds of pasta.

It is very difficult for me to find good quality images or clip art whenever I search online. They are always very lame and cheesy. Is there anywhere I can get good, free clip art for a pumpkin carving contest flyer?
