Oct 20, 2020
Some people may think that Halloween is a holiday created only for a child's enjoyment. But it is a spectacular holiday for friendly gatherings no matter what your age is. No doubt, it is one of the most celebrated holidays of the year. You can easily get into the Halloween spirit with scary monsters, creepy crawlies, superheroes, and other such characters. Get in a crisp fall mood by throwing a spooky Halloween party. Throwing a Halloween bash doesn't have to be difficult. Here are some simple planning and safety tips for your backyard Halloween party. With these creative, fun, and unique Halloween party planning ideas, you can make your holiday memorable. 

Choose A Perfect Halloween Party Theme

Choosing a theme is the first step in planning any event. Your theme will add charm to your Halloween party. Even if you don't have a theme, you can create a general layout of your party. The theme is decided by taking your guests and their interests into consideration. For example, if you are planning a vampire-themed party, you can add a blood-colored punch to your food table. Or, if you are arranging a party for kids, you want a makeshift dance floor in the center of the party arrangement. If you want to scare your guests, you can create a spooky haunted house that winds through your tent. Even if you don't have a theme, you can still make your Halloween party wonderful. 

Rent One or Two Tents for Your Backyard Halloween Party 

Once you've decided on the theme of your event, you can take your Halloween party to the next level by choosing suitable tents. No matter if it is a small or larger function, picking up one or two tents is a good idea. There are a number of tent options you can choose from for your Halloween party. These types include pole tents, Pop-Up Tents, Clear Top Tents, and Pagoda Tents. Pole tents are elegant, simple and suitable for greater events. Clear tents are suitable to accommodate large parties. Pagoda tents are perfect for creating a terrifying haunted house. Pop-Up Tents are small, fun tents and create multiple different areas for your guests to stop at. These tent ideas are helpful, especially when you're having a backyard Halloween party in inclement weather.

Add Charm To An Event by Creating A Haunted House. 

One of the best ways to make your party stand out is to create a haunted house. You can create a haunted house either in the backyard or inside your home. The haunted house doesn't have to be extremely decorated. Just small creepy arrangements and maybe a couple of people who jump out at guests in the hallway will be enough. You can also terrify your guests by going out—the best place to create a haunted house in your backyard because of its great space. You can make makeshift walls around the tent using garbage bags or cardboard. Creating a haunted house is an amazing idea to make your Halloween event amazing, and it wouldn't take much time. You can ask your friends to help you with decoration and spook your guests.

Follow COVID-19 Safety Guidelines 

COVID-19 has certainly put limits on the Halloween activities we love. Halloween events this year can be very different because of lockdown. You have to arrange things to keep social distancing in view. One of the best options among all Halloween festivities is planning an outdoor Halloween movie night. You can enjoy safe and spooky fun by inviting your friends and neighbors. You have to follow COVID guidelines to ensure a safe movie night experience. Keep a 6-foot distance between pods during the movie and make plenty of hand sanitizer available around. You'll need a large outdoor space to make social distancing happen. Remind your guests to and wear masks and sanitize their hands. ï»¿

Plan an Outdoor Movie 

A movie night is a way to spice up your Halloween event. There are a variety of movie options available to watch at Halloween parties. While choosing your movie, you need to stay stuck to your theme. It will give you a clear idea of themed decorations and treats you might serve. You can choose any of vampires, psycho killers, retro Alfred Hitchcock, or scarier options like ghosts movies. You can set up a room arranging chairs and sofa in front of a big-screen TV. You can create a large image using a projector setup. You can grab the interest of guests of every age, choosing a family-friendly movie. 

Add Piñatas and Games to Your Backyard Halloween Event

Add some Halloween games to pump some life into an undead party. There are many spooky ways to add fun into even with perfect party Halloween game ideas. No matter if your party attendees are kids or adults, you can choose games and activities for them. An easy and inexpensive way to add charm to your backyard Halloween party is using a piñata filled with candy. You can also choose options for holiday party rentals such as a dance floor, concessions, and games. One of the best ideas is to arrange a costume contest or a Halloween scavenger hunt. All attendees will vote for contestants and present treats and prizes to the winner.

Play Halloween Sounds

Whether it is an outdoor or indoor Halloween party, music is the biggest part of the celebration. You have to download spooky Halloween sounds and songs to play outside. Halloween-themed songs like Monster Mash, the Ghostbusters theme, Nightmare on My Street, and Werewolves of London will be perfect. You can entertain your guests with such sounds matching with your theme and events.
