Halloween party for adults. Themed areas at the party. Halloween Room Decor and Decoration Ideas

The celebration of Halloween has long been in the order of things - on the night of October 31 to November 1, few people look with surprise at young people dressed up in evil spirits costumes. Some people celebrate Halloween in a nightclub, but many prefer to "clubbing" house party. How to make your Halloween party a success?

The key to anyone's success celebratory event- This careful preparation. To keep everyone happy during the holiday, a Halloween party should be planned in advance. What needs to be considered first?

Let's start with the decoration of the room. A Halloween party must be atmospheric (after all, this holiday is valued precisely for its frightening surroundings), and the atmosphere is created by the interior. Draperies in black and orange fabric, pumpkin lanterns, artificial webs, paper silhouettes of bats and ghosts on windows and walls, all sorts of scary things from a joke store - everything will be used! You can read more about decorating your house for Halloween in our article "".

You need to take care of the food in advance. The pulp left after making a pumpkin lantern can be used to prepare Halloween dishes (a pumpkin pie or casserole will decorate your holiday table wonderfully). And you can decorate a confectionery product with a web of chocolate syrup or “bloody” icing. Another traditional Halloween treat is this.

Even the most ordinary dishes can be served in the spirit of the holiday. For example, salads can be laid out not in salad bowls, but in scraped halves of pumpkins. Ice for cocktails can be made not in the form of cubes, but in the form of ... fingers! To do this, fill a rubber glove with water and put it in the refrigerator. When the ice hardens, douse the frozen "hand" warm water to remove the glove. And then defiantly break off finger after finger and put it in a cocktail. By the way, when making a list of cocktails for a party, do not forget the Bloody Mary. The "witch's potion" is also suitable - punch in a bowler hat.

Well, what's a Halloween party without a dress code? After all, the atmosphere is created not only by the interior and the laid table, but also by the participants themselves. Therefore, it is worth notifying guests in advance so that they come to fancy dress. You can not limit yourself in the choice of costumes, but you can make a more narrowly themed party: for example, everyone dresses up only as heroes of fairy tales or comics.

Another option is a party in a madhouse: half of the guests are patients, half are orderlies and doctors, drinks are served in beakers and eat ascorbic acid. It is advisable to prepare beautifully designed invitations for guests in advance, in which, in addition to the time and place of the party, wishes for a dress code are indicated.

But no entourage will save the party if you don't know what to do with the guests. There are many options, it all depends on the company and its preferences. Practically a win-win- This mass games and competitions, for example, "Crocodile" ("Pantomime"), "Twister", etc. (Several examples of games and contests for Halloween can be found in). Just do not forget to modify them a little for the holiday, for example, to guess only “terrible” words in pantomime.

For calmer companies, "Mafia" is suitable. Also modified - because you have a Halloween party. Instead of the mafia, let there be vampires, instead of the sheriff - a hunter for evil spirits (Van Hellsing, Buffy ... yes, anyone!). You can organize a game of "Mafia" based on some horror movie, and all players will be its heroes.

Speaking of horror movies. You can organize a movie marathon at the party - when will you be able to watch all the episodes of A Nightmare on Elm Street in a row? Just before watching, make sure that in which case you have somewhere to accommodate guests for the night - perhaps after such a dose of "horror films" some will be afraid to drive home through the dark streets.

A girl's company can tell fortunes, because fortune telling is one of the traditions of Halloween. You can even arrange a session of spiritualism, but be careful: there is always a chance to pull someone into our world, who then will not be easy to send back. Why take the risk?

And most importantly: a Halloween party is sure to be successful if you want it. Even the most exquisite dishes and chic costumes will not help create a festive atmosphere if you are not in the right mood. So tune in for fun (frightening fun) and everything else will follow!

All Saints' Day or Halloween is a holiday that recently came to us from the West. And if it is alien to the older generation, then young people, teenagers and children fell in love with this fun party evil spirits.

To make it more interesting, you can put sweets not in all the balls or replace some of the sweets with other small souvenirs. And for entertainment, add confetti or sparkles to each balloon, which will effectively scatter when the balloon bursts.

This children's competition on Halloween is not as easy to implement as the previous ones, but the delight of children from popping balloons is worth a little effort.

To organize this entertainment, one white sheet is enough. Participants are divided into two teams and go to different rooms. Then we put a sheet on one participant and let the opposing team into the room. The child should try to scare the opponents with a terrible sound “Oooh!”, And their task is to guess who it is by the sound. Which team guesses more “ghosts” wins.

Bat

Props are several soft toys in the form of bats. They can be replaced with cardboard figures.

We exchange leaves and draw the legs of the monster. The drawings are then unfolded and shown to the public. Lots of fun guaranteed!
