So you want to host a Halloween party? Every year millions of people try their hand a being a Halloween party host. But, millions fail at creating a smashing theme party. Yes, I'm being a little extreme, but you get the point.
Here's how you can create your own Halloween party that people will be talking about for years to come:
Everyone knows the typical elements of throwing a Halloween party from selecting a venue and caterer, to bringing in Halloween decor of fake spider webs, smoke machines, and Halloween sounds CD. But, what takes your party from ordinary to spectacular is the entertainment.
Be sure to encourage your guests to dress up in costume. This becomes built in entertainment because later in the evening you can have a costume contest, and give out prizes to the best costumes.
The start of every party is always a little mellow, so be sure to book entertainment to set the mood. If you're serving dinner first, hire a dance company that specializes in theme party entertainment. At Stella Entertainment we have a repertoire of Halloween numbers such as a Rocky Horror Picture Medley, and Michael Jackson's infamous Thriller. Our dancers perform in spectacular zombie costumes equipped with ghoulish zombie makeup. Check with the dance companies in your area to see if they provide Halloween entertainment. Some companies will also offer a meet and greet, in which the zombie dancers greet guests as they arrive.
If you want a more laid back party, another option is to book a Murder Mystery. Murder Mysteries are great because your guests get to become super sleuths for the night while trying to figure out "who dunnit." Because of the structure of Murder Mysteries, they are perfect for dinner party atmospheres, where conversation can be a little stiff between guests that aren't well acquainted. Guests get to pair up in teams to solve the crime, while having a stress free chance to interact with each other.
If ceiling height isn't an issue, book Stilt Walkers in Halloween costumes to walk the party haunting guests. Many Stilt Walkers are skilled at other tricks such as juggling. Imagine a zombie Stilt Walker juggling skeleton heads. No one would forget that!
Another unique idea is to book a Magician to do strolling Magic. Strolling Magic is yet, another great way of creating atmosphere since the Magician floats around between small groups of guests. Or, hire a Magician to perform a magic show complete with illusions to stump your guests.
And of course, don't forget to hire a slamming DJ. After dinner, your guests will want to get down on the dance floor, and a great DJ can keep the party going until the wee hours of the morning, or at least until you decide to kick everyone out.
Well, I hope I've provided you with enough tips to create a rocky, horror Halloween party. Take the ideas, and have a blast planning the ultimate party!
