Trick-or-Treat at Mission Valley

Planning a Halloween get-together can be a lot of fun, but it does require a good amount of preparation. It can be easy to feel like you are going to miss something or not have exactly what you need! Today we are going to talk about the Halloween get-together must-haves you need! We know everyone will be talking about your party for months!

 

1) Spooky Décor

Your Halloween get-together absolutely requires some amazing décor. Whether you want to go extremely spooky and put skeletons with spiders and webs or you want to go a traditional route with pumpkins and witches, you will be able to find exactly what you are looking for. Be sure to put some décor throughout the location as well as create great Halloween centerpieces on the tables. 

 

2) Food and Drinks

The food and drinks can be some people’s favorite parts of a get-together or party. There are endless ideas for Halloween-themed treats such as cupcakes, charcuterie boards, brownies, rice crispy treats, and much more. Food coloring will be your best friend as you can easily change the colors of treats to orange, red, or even green. Making a Halloween-themed punch can be an easy drink option. 

 

3) Themed Music

You can find Halloween-themed playlists online and this is the perfect addition to a Halloween get-together. Whether you choose to play the music from your phone or have a speaker to connect to, your guests will love the addition to the Halloween theme. 

 

4) Halloween Games

Games are sometimes the best part of a party and with a Halloween party you can easily find themed games to play. If you have an outdoor area, you can play a themed cornhole game, you can dunk for apples, play Halloween bingo, or give out costume awards. 

 

5) Party Favors

A great way to end a fun Halloween get-together is to hand out some form of Halloween party favors. These can be a simple treat or a full cup of goodies including food, candy, and even a koozie with the party date. 

 

If you make sure that you have these Halloween get-together must-haves then you will be more than prepared and ready to plan the Halloween get-together of the year. Your guests are bound to have a good time!

Must Haves For A Halloween Get-Together

Your porch becomes the perfect spot to showcase seasonal decor as the weather cools. 

By incorporating warm lighting, seasonal plants, and autumn-inspired decorations, you can transform your porch into a welcoming space that reflects the beauty of fall. The best part? You don’t need a big budget to make an impact. Here are five tips to get started:

Pumpkins & Gourds: Arrange a variety of pumpkins, gourds, and fall plants like mums for a natural, seasonal touch.

Warm Lighting: On your porch, use lanterns, string lights, or candles to create a soft, welcoming glow.

Wreaths & Garlands: Add a fall wreath or garland to your door, incorporating leaves, pinecones, and berries.

Outdoor Rugs: A cozy outdoor rug in warm tones will make your porch feel like an extension of your indoor space.

Cozy Textiles: Add blankets and pillows to your seating area for warmth and extra comfort.

You can easily create a cozy and inviting porch that impresses your neighbors and guests with a few simple touches.

Transforming Your Porch for Fall: Decor and Style Tips

Witch way to the Halloween party? Halloween is just around the corner, and whether you’re hosting a spooky bash, attending one, or staying home to pass out some boo-tastic homemade treats, we’ve got you covered! Here are a few easy Halloween treats to whip up for your next celebration:

Halloween Themed Trail Mix

Trail mix is one of my personal favorites and it’s super easy to customize. You can make it as healthy or as sweet as you’d like it, with endless candy options to choose from. You can add some of your favorite holiday candy like candy corn, caramel popcorn, rolos, mellocreme pumpkins, or classic M&Ms are just a few that come to mind. I like to add Check Mix, Captain Crunch, pretzels, popcorn, and M&Ms. For an extra touch of sweetness, I like to melt white chocolate, pour it over the mix, and lay it out on a flat surface to dry. Once cooled, divide the mix into small gift bags for a spooky party favor!

Rice Krispie Treat Pumpkins

For Halloween, simply make your classic Rice Krispies but add a few drops of orange food coloring to the marshmallow mixture. Once combined, shape the treats into small pumpkin-sized balls and top each one with a mini rolo to create a cute little pumpkin "stem."

Peanut Butter Ghosties

These little ghost treats are as adorable as they are delicious! All you need are NutterButters, white chocolate, and mini milk chocolate chips. Dip the NutterButters into the melted white chocolate, then lay them on parchment paper to cool. Before they set, press two mini chocolate chips onto each one to create spooky eyes. These ghostly snacks are sure to be a hit!

Witches Broom of Pretzels

This treat is not only spookily easy but also festive! You will need some fun, Halloween-colored straws, thin black ribbon, rubber bands, small plastic treat bags, and pretzel sticks. Fill the bags with pretzels, place the straw as the broomstick in the bag, wrap the rubber band around the straw and plastic bag, and then tie the ribbon around the broomstick straw. It’s a wicked witchy snack for any Halloween gathering.

Ghost Lollipops

Here is another simple yet spooky treat, grab some lollipops like Dum-Dums, Tootsie Pops, or your local favorite! Wrap each one with a tissue and tie it off at the base using white string to form a ghost. Use a black marker to draw spooky faces on your newly created ghostly lollipops for an extra Halloween touch!

With these easy-to-make Halloween treats, you’ll have your party guests and trick-or-treaters raving about your eerie-sistible snacks. So grab your ingredients, put on your favorite witch’s hat, and get ready to impress with delicious and delightfully spooky treats. Happy Halloween!
