How to Throw the Best Halloween Party Ever

How to Throw the Best Halloween Party for Kids

by Tina Ferguson

Consider all the guests and their experience – If you have guests of varying ages, let’s say 3-year-olds to 10-year-olds, you’ll want to choose games that can be scaled down for the youngsters and made more challenging for the older kids. Often, party planners just plan separate events, but that fragments the group, and think of the parent who might have a child in each! By choosing simple games that keep the party centered, you’ll be able to ensure everyone, including the parents, have a good time!

Halloween Roundup: Save on Candy, Costumes and Decor

If the cost of Halloween costumes, candies and decor frighten you, don’t fear; the following ideas can help you simplify this ghoulish season without spending an arm and a leg.

Costumes

DIY
You don’t have to be an expert seamstress to make great Halloween costumes. When your kiddos are little, it’s especially easy to go the DIY route since they’re fairly easy to please. In addition to fabric stores, look to the Domestic Queen for ideas for a creative costume.

Shop Early for Savings
Everyone knows the best deals on Halloween costumes happen after Oct. 31, but what good does that do you right now? Thankfully, some stores offer discounts on costumes before the holiday, when it’s actually helpful. For example, you can get a coupon code at FreeShipping.org for 30-percent off costume orders from the The Children’s Place.
