The Flying Monkey Costume & Other Clever Ideas for Your Adults Only Halloween Party
Halloween is just around the corner, so get going on your party plans. Need some creative ideas to spark your imagination? If you are looking for ways to host a grown up party, we’ve got ideas ranging from casual to formal. Parties don’t have to be huge costume parties, there are lots of ways to celebrate the holiday in a low key way with a small group of friends. Let your personal style be your guide. Whether your Halloween celebration will be filled with fun arts and crafts projects for the kids or spent mixing up spooky cocktails for adults, we’ve got some super creative ideas to get your party off to the right start.
Halloween Dinner Party – A grown up dinner party is perfect for an intimate gathering. First select a theme for your party such as Nightmare Before Christmas, zombie party, scary clowns, etc and then plan every detail of your party from invitations, menu, and activities. If you are crafty, send out handmade invitations that set the tone of your event and let your guests know what type of costume to come in. Intimate gatherings are a very grown up way to still enjoy Halloween with style. Themes such as the Wizard of Oz, for example, are a great way to get your guests excited about your party, and they can be encouraged to come dressed as their favorite character. There is a whole new line of Oz costumes out this year, including a Flying Monkey Costume that is quite menacing.
Seance – Fun for both adult parties and older teen sleepovers. Decorate a graveyard and use lots of candles. A Ouija board can be a spooky addition to the party antics. Keep the focus lighthearted by only calling on the famously dearly departed such as Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Elvis etc. This type of party can get really spooky or totally hilarious, depending on your group and how much wine has been enjoyed.
Halloween Tea – Hosting a Halloween themed afternoon tea is a great way to have a formal afternoon party for adults. Use black tablecloths, candelabras with black or orange candles, spider webs and dead flowers as the centerpiece. Serve some Halloween themed food items such as pumpkin cookies, or cupcakes, witches finger sandwiches, etc. Small plates work well for tea sandwiches and mini pastries, or you can even order all black party ware and set a very spooky themed table.
To ensure a big hit, take some time to plan out the details of your party. Determine the type of friends to invite and what works best for that group. A Halloween Afternoon Tea Party is a fun mother daughter event. A dinner party is perfect for a smaller group, and allows you to focus on handmade details such as invitations and place settings. Cocktail parties are ideal in big cities where your guests may have several social events to attend. Pick whatever works best for you and your family. And most importantly, don’t forget to plan your costumes and buy them online right away. Visit the Monkey Costume site to see the Flying Monkey Costume or thousands of other costume choices. Happy Trick-or-treating!
