How To Come Up With The Best Halloween Party Names
It’s always so much fun to have a festive event theme! In order to find the right name for your spooky celebration, you need to narrow down your Halloween party theme. And there are SO many fun Halloween party themes to choose from. For example, is your Halloween theme a witch-themed party for moms? Or a pumpkin patch party featuring kids pumpkin carving activities? In order to think of a great name, think of your target audience and what unique Halloween party theme you’ll be doing this year.
Or, is it simply just a “Halloween theme”? Perfect! You’ll have plenty of names to choose from then.
A catchy Halloween party name is a great way to make your Halloween invitations memorable for your party guests. Plus, it sets the theme so guests know what to expect.
For example, a kids Halloween party name idea could be “Cauldrons and Cookies”, so we know this will be a kids Halloween party and cookie party all in one (and what a perfect name for a Halloween cookie party?!).
Some of the most creative names for fun halloween parties can be created by adding in the host’s name or host family’s last name, to create a more “complete” name. For example, “Haunted House Party” doesn’t sound all that complete, but “The Harrison’s Haunted House” is really enticing!
Halloween Party Hosting Tips (In A Nutshell)
In order to prepare for hosting a Halloween party, consider your guest list! If you’re having a “Mummies & Mimosas” Moms Halloween Brunch then you might have classier decor and brunch-themed food ideas than a “Brews and Boos” adults-only party at night.
Make sure to specify on your invitation whether you want guests to wear Halloween costumes!
Be sure to note on your invitation which Halloween festivities will occur (if you have any specifics planned), such as “pumpkin carving for kids” or a “kids haunted house activity” (so parents can plan ahead, or be there to assist the little ones.)
Halloween crafts are always fun for a toddler Halloween party!
If this year’s Halloween frenzy is calling for live music, consider setting up a dance floor for a sure to be fantastic time!
Consider a Halloween celebration filled with festive food or desserts that embrace the Halloween spirit- from Frankenstein guacamole and chips, to ghost cookies. (Pinterest is the best for food-related Halloween party ideas and inspiration!)
Consider setting up haunted attractions like a a haunted house in your basement or in a tent in your backyard- such a fun way to incorporate some spookiness!
Bring out the Halloween decor! (It’s all about those fun details!) Halloween costume stores sell plenty of Halloween decor, (you can also luck out at thrift/vintage stores too), and of course places like Amazon and Target have a great selection as well. (*My popular Hanging Witch Hats and Floating Candles For Halloween post is always a favorite!)
