Oh, October. It’s such an animated time of year with bustling ideas, parties, and fun. Childhood-like energy vivaciously radiates through joyful smiles. Adults passionately reminisce their childhood days as they blissfully entice little ghosts and goblins with both tricks and treats. Pumpkins and scarecrows eagerly collect their sweet treats with spooky smirks. Everyone – young and young at heart, finds enjoyment in the frightening fun of happy hauntings and petrifying parties!
Host a Pumpkin Carving Party!
October is adorned with straw, warm colored mums, gourds, and pumpkins. What better way to decorate your haunted house than with a pumpkin, perfectly carved out by your munchkin. Watch the faces of your favorite little ghouls light up with excitement when they come to your pumpkin carving party!
Get as creepily creative as you’d like!
Carve Out Your Invites:
When planning a pumpkin carving party, it is important to set the date to your evening of thrills.
- Consider a night when the weather is not too brisk, you’ll likely want to host the fun in your garage for easy clean up, and you’ll avoid the hands of your little ones getting too cold while they are playing in the pumpkin goo. The weather may be unavoidable in the event you want to show off your creativity at Halloween; pumpkins don’t last long once they’ve been carved.
- Purchase and prepare your Halloween party invites with details. Don’t forget to include RSVP information; you’ll need it to prepare your party.
- Send out your party invites to all of your guest goblins.
Planning For Your Party:
Give your little werewolf something to howl about!
After your guest goblins have returned their RSVPs, it is time to prepare for your party.
- Stop by your local Farmer’s Market and purchase one carving-size pumpkin for each of your guests. You may want to have a couple extra on hand, too. If you don’t use them at the party, you can always place them out to embellish your home during the holidays.
- Pick up some pumpkin carving kits – remember to have enough carving utensils on hand for each of your guests.
- Decorate your garage into a Halloween scene with fun room transformers such as Jack O Lantern Scene Setters or Pumpkin Paper Lanterns. Let your creativity be your guide!
- Add some fun to the party and lay out some pumpkin shaped goodie bags for the guest goblins. Include nose glasses and Halloween party favors.
- Jazz up your party with some eerie edibles – try your bones at making a pumpkin cake (you can add some fun with an iridescent Jack O Lantern pan). Remember your Halloween themed plates, napkins, tableware, and plastic ware if you will have edibles.
- Let your heart go wild; just don’t let the vampires in!
Your Pumpkin Carving Party:
- For easy clean up, lay a large tarp down on your garage floor. When the evening is over, you will have less gooey pumpkin guts to worry about.
- Consider decorating a corner of the garage with little hay stacks and straw or potting plants of mums. Place the pumpkins in a pile to create a pumpkin patch. Let the kids have fun picking their favorite pumpkin.
- You may even want to set the mood of the party by playing a Halloween CD.
- Let your guests have a gooey good time carving their pumpkin!
After your little goblin guests have finished with their spooky carving fun, let them take their personalized pumpkin home as a party favor. You will likely be the hit of Halloween!
Happy Haunting!
