creative ideas for decorations for your halloween party

Yes a Golf Ball Can Be a Halloween Decoration

So you want to have the most creative Halloween party on the block. A pumpkin, a ghost or a witch can each make a great Halloween decoration. Choose one of these decorations and use it as the inspiration for your party planning.

For a not-so-scary kid’s Halloween bash, use a ghost party theme. Decorate with hovering Halloween ghosts. To make these decorations, drape thin white cloth over helium balloons. Draw friendly faces on each ghost and tether it to a weighted string. Use different lengths of string so the Halloween ghosts appear to float at different levels.

For a spooky party, decorate with tombstones and skeletons. Keep the party room fairly dark. Rent a fog machine to add to the Halloween ambiance. For additional party decorations, hang bare tree branches from the ceiling. Fill the branches with spiders and bats (not real ones unless you want some extreme party excitement).

Pumpkins and Witches and Eyes, Oh My!

Pumpkins make a both a great party decoration and a party activity. For kid’s parties, have children paint Halloween pumpkins. Adults might enjoy pumpkin carving. When was the last time you got to cut something open and dig your hands into orange goo?

For traditional Halloween decorations with a twist, use a witch theme. Decorate with witch’s hats of various sizes hanging at different angels from the ceiling. Have stuffed witch legs sticking out from under doors, furniture and even the car in the driveway. (Think Dorothy’s house landing on the witch in the Wizard of Oz.)

For even more out-of-the-ordinary Halloween decorations, use just eyes. Make monster eyes of various sizes out of paper, ping-pong balls, golf balls or Styrofoam balls. Hang the eyes around the party room and float them in the punch bowl. Your party guests will feel like someone’s watching them all night.
