FREE HALLOWEEN PARTY PLANNER - The Monster Bash Halloween Party Planner

How to Plan a Ghoulishly Good Halloween Party!

HALLOWEEN PARTY PLANNER PRELUDE

The magic of the Christmas holidays mirrors in the distance as the long year dwindles down to an abrupt close. The promise of cooler temperatures, warm cocoa, and curling up in your favorite chair to enjoy a good book by a roaring fire accompany this seasonal time of year! Football, back-to-school fun, fall foliage fun drives, and Halloween are all part of the magic surrounding autumn splendor.

Halloween is one of the celebrated festivities of the year that is most remembered by children when they reach adulthood. It’s an opportunity you can seize to create and make those special enchanting memories that your child will treasure for a lifetime.

Teens and adults have also joined the Halloween craze bandwagon of fun. If you are purchasing your child a Halloween costume, be sure and visit the stores early. It’s not fun fighting with a grown man over the last large green dinosaur costume.

As you read your Monster Bash party planner, here are a few things that you may want to begin thinking about before making party plans.

Where will my Halloween bash be held?

How many guests should I invite? Make your list now while it’s hot on your mind.

What type of party theme do I want to use? Do I want to incorporate a Halloween theme? Do I want my party to be spooky, friendly, unique or weird? Do I want to have a ‘couple’ Halloween party? Do I want to choose a book, or a movie, such as Mash 4077 (your Halloween party would be a Monster Bash Mash at this point!) and have everyone dress the parts? If so, do I want to assign the parts?

What treats do I want to serve my guests? Make a list now of the ingredients you’ll need. There are also some very yummy treats in this party planner that you might wish to include.

Will there be door prizes? If so, what?

How do I want to decorate my party room? Make a list now of some of the items you’ll need to purchase in advance before the Halloween sell out. More on this topic later.

What are the some of the store names that you want to visit to purchase and search for your party decorations?

Will children be in attendance? If you are throwing a couple Halloween party, consider reserving one room in your home – preferably upstairs, for the children and hire a qualified baby-sitter for the evening. Go an extra step and plan some ghoulish fun for the kids. The parents will love your thoughtfulness!

Do I want to incorporate party games?

Do I want to incorporate party music? Do I want a live band? Do I want to use pre-recorded music? Do I need to buy some spooky music to play?

Will I be serving alcohol, and if so, can I supply designated drivers?

How long will my party last? See the Invitation section for tips on this subject.

Who will clean up the party shambles? You may want to contact your cleaning service now for next morning delivery.

So, if you’re ready to go let’s roll out the ghosts, put the witch on her broom and fly away to the best Halloween bash of the year!
