Fun & Creative Ideas for a Halloween Birthday Party

If your child’s birthday falls on or around Halloween, why not throw them a Halloween birthday party? You can come up with some great Halloween party ideas and games to make sure your child doesn’t feel like their birthday is left out during this busy time of parties and trick or treating. Be sure not to miss out on traditional birthday fun such as birthday cake and favors.

When sending out invitations for the birthday party, make it clear that this is both a Halloween and a birthday party. Encourage children to dress up in costume, but they should know this is a special birthday occasion as well. If you are planning the birthday party for Halloween day, perhaps make it an afternoon event since many of the kids will have plans to go trick or treating with their siblings or other friends.

You’re Not Stuck with Ghost & Goblins

If your child wants a theme party for their birthday, such as a princess theme or cowboy theme, go with it. Just because its Halloween doesn’t mean the party needs to be all ghosts and goblins. Let the guests dress up as whatever they would like, but let the decorations be your child’s choice.

Be sure to have plenty of games at the birthday party. They can be whatever type of games your child would like, whether it’s bobbing for apples or musical chairs. Again, just because the birthday happens to fall on Halloween doesn’t mean you can only have Halloween games planned.

When planning what type of favors to give the kids, try and stay away from candies since they’ll have their fill soon enough. Pens, pencils, erasers, and notepads are always good ideas. You could also choose books or coupons to a local restaurant.

No matter what you choose for the birthday party, keep your child the center of attention. Halloween or not, this is their special day and they deserve to enjoy every minute of it.
