How To Give Out Candy on Halloween

It is October, and the temperature is changing. But it will not be the only source of chills. Halloween is also around the corner, and everybody is getting ready for it.

One of those is the children. They are surely excited to wear their costumes and go around the neighborhood for trick or treating and of course, have some candy.

As a homeowner, it will be your duty to hand it out to them. It seems to be easy, right? But as the day comes, you will realize it is not. There are certain things you will need to do and ready for. Not only that, it is not just about handing out candy but how will you be creative to do so.

1. Decorate Your House

With children, and also some other ones, going and also just passing by around your house, it will be nice to have it interesting. For Halloween, being spooky is cool, so have it that way. But because there will be kids that will be scared if it is extreme, do not go overboard. You might do it at a later time though. But with just giving out to children, just keep it simple but interesting enough.

2. Prepare Enough Candies

If you live long enough in your neighborhood, you might be able to estimate how many children will go to your house. But also keep in mind that there might be guests or visitors that are not from around. Because of that, you may want to purchase just enough candy for them. It will not be bad to have some extras too for assurance. Do not worry about the leftovers for you can donate it to a school or charity or even give them away.

3. Be Creative

When the time comes, it is not just about giving out candy. You can do some sort of roleplaying while handing out candy like pretending to be someone or imitating a voice (just make sure to not spook the children away). You can also have your own costume. That way, while you are complimenting and saying good stuff about the kids’ costumes, you can also show off to them your own. You can also have some questions or trivia and when they get to answer it, you can give an extra treat. You can also be creative with the candies you will give. You can customize them with messages or games. You can even make your own (though it could be a lot of work and time).

4. Have Some Tricks

The origin of trick or treat is a dark one. And when the children ask for it, it means if you do not have any treat, they may have a trick for you (and is often mischievous). Why not spice things up and have your own? Of course, it does not have to harmful but it will be a nice addition and also great entertainment for the kids. You could provide some simple magic tricks or could wear something that will startle them like fake fangs.

What To Do At A Halloween Party For Adults

It is already October. Not only fall has come but various holidays are just around the corner. The first on that list is Halloween. The first thing that will come to mind with that is spooky decorations, costume parties, and kids going out trick or treating. It is an occasion that you would think only the young will enjoy.

But it is not though. Adults cans also enjoy Halloween that does not only involve accompanying kids in trick or treating or answering doors for them. It is also not only about staying at home and watching scary movies to be festive. Why not also have some fun like having a party? What could you do with it, and how will it be prepared?

1. Halloween-Themed Food

Parties always have food and for Halloween, you could definitely have it themed and make it look creepy. You could make something that looks bloody like tomato soup or something with red streaks and sauces. You could also make cookies or cakes with Halloween designs in it. It is not only about the design but also the flavors of that season like pumpkin and apples. Whatever it will be, there are a lot of recipes and ideas you can look up online.

2. Halloween Decoration

Of course, to make it festive and give the ambiance, you will need the right decorations. It will surely be easy because you can definitely find something in stores at any price, so you will not be worried about your budget. You can even be creative and make them yourself or if you have some old stuff, you can fix them or revamp them to make them look brand new or even also repurpose some.

3. Fun Games and Activities

A party will be more fun with the activities involved. Like any other holiday party, it should go with the theme. There are some easy games that do not involve any materials like guessing games with questions, trivia, or charades. Then there are also activities that would need more effort and messy like pumpkin carving and eating food (apples and donuts for example) on.a string. You can also have something in your backyard like a scavenger hunt or guessing what is in the box for them to be really spooked or creeped out.

4. Costumes

Having costumes is a tradition with Halloween whether with kids trick or treating or with parties for teenagers and adults. A nice say to give it a twist is having a theme like era-based (Victorian, 60s, etc.) or a masquerade (which are usually done formally) or any other. But of course, you could just have it traditionally and let your guests dressed however they want. But of course, the costume is a must. You can also hold a contest with it. You can declare who is the best. You can also have it by category. Examples are funniest, scariest, most creative, etc. This could be a surprise or said ahead of time to make it more exciting and competitive.
