Halloween is one of those holidays when decorations make the difference in setting the stage for your onlookers and guests. Whether you’re planning a big Halloween blowout party, or simply want to make the mood festive for trick-or-treaters, begin decorating early and you’ll be ready for fun when the big day arrives.
The key to a great Halloween party is the atmosphere. Here are some easy decorating tricks for turning your house into a haunted Halloween home. Remember, this is the one night each year when people look forward to creepy things. So, let’s get started.
1. Lighting
Welcome your guests with Halloween lanterns lining your walkway. On the inside, turn your lights very low, or even turn them off, using Halloween luminaries or candles to create a spooky Halloween glow. Of course, be careful where you place the candles for the sake of safety. And if you have a lot of young children at the party, skip the candles except in out of reach places, and replace your regular light bulbs with dark colored bulbs.
2. Fog
To create that strange and haunting effect, fill your home with spooky wisps of smoke and fog made from dry ice or a fog machine.
3. Table Decor
Adorn your buffet table with ghastly head centerpieces, cobwebs and creepy, crawly spiders, bats and detached hands.
You can also place shrunken apple heads in the least expected places such as on dining room or kitchen chairs, in your guests’ coat pockets, or at the bottom of a snack bowl. Get busy now – these little babies take a couple of weeks to reach perfection.
4. Halloween Music
The mystique of Halloween is highly influenced by both sight and sound. Play spooky Halloween music inside and outside your house to create that eerie effect.
5. Inside Halloween Decor
Cover your furniture with white sheets to simulate a deserted haunted house. Scatter talcum powder over the sheets to create a dust cloud when your guests sit.
Scatter creepy spiders and bats everywhere including your buffet table, chairs, ceilings and anywhere your guests might be surprised. Spread cobwebs in choice corners of your home and selectively place miniature spiders in each web.
These Top 5 Halloween Party Decoration Ideas will be enough to create just the right atmosphere to ensure your Halloween party is a smashing hit. And as you get started with these Halloween decorations, you’re sure to discover your own ideas to shower your guests with exhilarating fun!
