Tips on Throwing a Fun Halloween Party for Adults

August 6th, 2009 · No Comments

Had enough of the scary stuff and just want to have a fun Halloween party relaxing with some friends? Just because you’re throwing an adult Halloween party doesn’t mean you’re stuck with ghost stories and gruesome decorations. Here are some ideas on fun Halloween party decorations and games grown-ups can enjoy, too.

Fun Halloween Party Decorations

Up-beat, humorous Halloween décor isn’t just for kids’ parties. Take the “crashed witch,” for example—the witch doll you hang up so it looks like she crashed and flattened herself against a wall. It’s just a silly bit of slightly dark humor.

Also try pumpkins dressed up like witches or vampires, a skeleton dressed and posed in a funny position (eg. holding a drink), inflatable decorations, and windsocks. Decorate your yard with tombstones engraved with funny epitaphs like the classic “See, I told you I was sick!” or names puns like “I. L. Beabach” (make your own out of Styrofoam or plywood)

Fun Halloween Party Games and Activities

Remember bobbing for apples, pumpkin bowling, and bashing Halloween piñatas? Sure, they’re kid’s games, but Halloween’s the perfect time to act like a kid again. Set up a few childhood favorites to lighten the mood.

For the more “adult” (I said more “adult,” not more mature) games, consider scavenger hunts (racy items optional), mummy making race (pair guests up and have one wrap the other in TP), and “That’s my man” (in which a blindfolded female guest identifies her boyfriend or husband’s touch after all the guys present have touched her cheek or arm.) The idea is just to get guests laughing, with or without that second goblet of witch’s brew.

If your friends are the artsy types, do some fun Halloween party crafts, too. Pumpkin carving or painting are fine, but if you’d rather avoid the mess try “build a monster.” Clipping parts out of magazines to create their own Frankenstein-style monsters. Another crafts theme is autumn home décor, such as a leaf wreath your guests can take home and leave up throughout November.
