Halloween
The weather starts to cool down, the sun sets a little earlier, and you can wear cozy sweaters and cute beanies… yay Fall has arrived! And Halloween starts the beginning of my favorite time of year- the holidays!
This year I decided to throw a Halloween party that would work for our family now, something that works for both adults and teens.
Where: Our house backyard. The outdoors work well for a Halloween party in Southern California, it’s not too cold and perfect weather to set up an outdoor movie, a fog machine and a fire pit for roasting s’mores.
When: Saturday before Halloween. If Halloween doesn’t land on a weekend, I like the weekend before to celebrate. But so do a lot of people, so make sure to send out your invites at the beginning of October.
I love parties that have 3 well thought out things: great food, great drinks, and activities for everyone to enjoy!
Activities:
Outdoor movie
Mini pumpkin decorating
S’mores roasting
Caramel apple dipping bar
Photo Booth
Dancing/karaoke
Costume contest
