How to Plan a Halloween Party for Adults

Halloween is upon us, you ‘orrible lot! A time where ghouls galivant in search of treats, and ghosts rise from the grave in eerily fresh white sheets! So, what better a time to throw a party? Palm the kids off with the Adam’s family and get together with your fellow adults for fiendish festivities! In this article, we’re going to share some awesome ideas on how to plan a Halloween party for adults!

The Classy Halloween Vibe

For the more sophisticated among you, a classy Halloween vibe is a mature adult option that adds white to the traditional orange and black palette of Halloween. Using this trio of colours, you can put on a beautiful party with endless décor ideas! It’s also great fun to have everyone dress up in their finest, with a splash of horror for good measure.

Mad Scientist Mixology Night

Cackling mad scientists and hulking monstrosities unite in a crazy fun-filled evening fuelled by shots and cocktails. Hire professional mixologists and have your cocktails served in measuring jugs and beakers to add to the evil alchemy vibe!

DIY Costume Competition

Spice up your Halloween party by throwing a DIY costume competition and having everyone vote for the best costume of the evening. Make it even more exciting by throwing some awesome prizes into the mix, including runner ups! Everyone will really pull out the stops allowing for some amazing photo opportunities and an awesome Halloween party to remember!

Spooky Lighting is Essential!

If you really want your Halloween party to go down as one to remember, then you’ll need to get the spooky lighting on point. There are plenty of options to choose from but the most effective is an eerie green! Get string lights and LED’s and all sorts of lamps to create a dark and eerie house of horrors vibe!

You can even get some green glow sticks and stuff them into empty bottles! It really adds to the creepy effect.

Photo Props

Everyone should turn up with a crazy scary outfit if all goes to plan, but it’s also fun to add plenty of spooky props for some amazing photo opportunities. It’s a great way to have everyone bonding and having a laugh with one another.

Pumpkin Coolers

Carve out pumpkins and add faucets so that you can store ice and punch in your pumpkins to be conveniently dispensed into glasses. It’s a fun way to serve your alcohol and it is in keeping with the traditional Halloween spirit.

Customised Wine Bottles

Who cares what brand of wine you are drinking on Halloween? Get some white tape and wrap the bottles up like ancient mummies and add some googly eyes for good measure! Simply touches like this really add to the authenticity of the party and will make people smile every time they pour themselves another glass! You can even wrap up your gin bottles and then it really is mummies ruin!

Get Creative with Your Food Displays

Freaky themed finger foods, delicious BBQ ribs presented in the shape of a human ribcage, a blood fondue! The options are endless. Use your imagination and see what freaky fancies you can come up with!

A Murder Mystery Always Goes Down a Treat!

If you really want to step it up a notch, you can give everyone a character in advance (which will help with them deciding on what costume to wear) and throw a full-fledged murder mystery night. It’s a fun way to get everyone together, creating healthy banter, and a puzzle-filled evening that will go down in history.
