Planning is key for a successful Halloween party. Creating a checklist for food and decorations can save time.
-
Candy Jars and Gift Bags: Fill glass jars with assorted candies like chocolates, gummies, and Pixy Stix. Let guests make their own treat bags.
-
Table Essentials: Choose plates, cups, and napkins in black or orange patterns to instantly give the table a festive look.
-
Label Foods: Pre-label sauces and serving trays with small sticky notes to avoid confusion.
-
Drink Planning: Plan ~3 cocktails per adult; provide fruit juices or homemade apple/quince drinks for kids. For hot drinks like spiced apple cider, use heat-resistant cups.
-
Prep in Advance: Make appetizers and snacks ahead of time and cover them with plastic wrap. Serve quickly during the party.
