Party Theme and Invitations

First things first! A carefully curated theme makes any Halloween bash. Let your kids' imagination run wild with ghoulish ideas that will have your little ghosts and ghouls screaming with delight. Harry Potter, wicked witches and vampires or a murder mystery party? Or maybe you fancy throwing a scary clown and carnival party?

Once you've chosen a theme, it's time to think about the size of the guest list and pick the matching invitations. Fill in all the gory details of your Halloween party and invite friends in advance, preferably at the beginning of October. Advance planning makes it easier for other parents to dress-up their monsters and get them into character.

Get Ready for the Bright Halloween!

Costumes

Whether you are heading out to trick or treating or hosting your very own Halloween party, you should make your choice from a ready-made outfit or a homemade costume. Long gone are the days of dressing up as a humble pumpkin and these days the possibilities are endless. Once you have chosen a character for your little monster, we would recommend you to make your way to the Halloween costume shops, where you will find everything you need to complete the look. 

Halloween Games and Activities

A kids’ Halloween party wouldn't be complete without funny games. A great source of entertainment for kids of all ages is going trick or treating. Take your kids out in small groups as this is one of the safest ways to approach this activity in a big city. If you don't fancy traipsing up and down the street knocking on strangers' doors, you can organise a trick-or-treat treasure hunt in your own house. Hide sweets around the room or garden if you have one, turn down the light and get the little guests to hunt them out with torches.

Another twist on a Halloween classic is apple bobbing. You will need some plastic sheets on the floor, two washing up bowls and plenty of tea towels or kitchen paper. Fill the bowls with water, place some apples afloat, and tell the kids to fish out the fruit using only their mouths.

Halloween charades with scary book and movie titles is a fun party game that kids and adults of all ages can enjoy. 

Halloween Science Experiments

How about a witchy laboratory or pumpkin lava lamps to capture kids' interest and imagination during the party? There are so many spectacularly spooky activities with a ghost and monster theme for young scientists! Opt for some Halloween-inspired scientific resource packs with a series of children's science experiments. They normally contain details of what you will need, along with step-by-step instructions on how to carry it out.

Food and Drink

A few spooky snacks and terrifying sweet treats are a must on fright night. Why not impress the kid's friends and their parents with your creativity. Simply pick up Halloween party food recipes to keep all ages happy and have lots of fun with kids in the kitchen. They can get involved with making cupcakes or biscuits and learn about different ingredients when designing the scary creatures on top.

Your little Draculas can quench a deadly thirst with kid-friendly Halloween punch or ghoulish squash of cranberry juice, lemonade and fresh lime. Don't forget to serve your drinks and food with matching Halloween table cloths, cups, centrepieces, bowls and accessories.

Pumpkin Trick or Treat Bucket

You've planned the party. You've got an original costume for your little monster. You've even got an outfit for yourself. And all you need to complete the spooky looks is funny orange trick-or-treat buckets with the happily smiling pumpkin for the little ones to carry all their sweet treasures home safely. Fill these creepy containers with confectionary and use them as an alternative to party bags.

And you do not have to limit the celebration to your home and a trip around the neighborhood. Hong Kong offers you many splendid places and activities to make this holiday a day to remember! Here, you can find many options to choose from!
