| Grabbing up the perfect mood is the trick behind every successful party. And a theme driven party like that of the Halloween is no exception to this as well. So plan beforehand. Is this is a simple fun party? Or a fun party filled with scary ideas? Or to make them feel creepy and have fun at the same time? Here are some theme ideas you could suggest to your guests:
Start right from the stage of invitation. While the theme is frightful, things should be made for sheer fun of your guests. The atmosphere might have a spooky touch. Yet everything should be in a lighter vein. While decking the
whole of the house or only the party room with traditional Halloween themes,
like Jack-o-Lanterns, trick or treat candy boxes, paper skeletons, carved pumpkins are usual, being innovative impresses the guests in a better way.

| For a simple Fun Party: Ask your guests to come dressed in a costume that is in sync with the desired atmosphere. If it is a historic theme party wrap yourself with some medieval period jackets with golden buttons and wigs and foiled sticks as the swords. If that doesn't fit with your persona dress in a lavish Victorian ball gown or as a can-can dancer for a reception. Supply the partygoers with hats and other gears to wear at the door. If it is a theme from the Western paste characters like Django, or Dirty Harry or any of the favorite heroes on the invitation cover and feature western decor and costumes. You could hand out tin foil sheriff's stars and tiny Western hats. You could also ask your guests to dress as outlaws or cowpunchers, native Indians or preachers or Sunday school teachers. You can dress in a legend's attire. Say, for instance, the likes of Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, or John Lennon. You could ask your guest to dress like those in the era of Rock 'n Roll. Think poodle skirts, cool cars, sock hops. Or early rock 'n roll stars wearing suits and thin ties! Even wigs can be sported liberally. Suggest your guests to dress in colonial times complete with powdered wigs and rich embroidered fabrics, tights and buckled shoes.

| For a Creepy Party:
You could paint the face like the face of a famous celeb - dead, or use masks of a skull, a witch or a fanged red eyed vampire. Or you could use an all white robe and white long gloves. Ask your guests to come dressed in creepy characters according to their choice. Sling spooky masks from the walls. You could also fill your party room with elegant china and silver, candle bras, trays filled with fake pearls and jewels, drapes of fancy fabric from the fabric store. Use candles and soft lights, or shaded lamps in a way that creates longer than usual shadows. The party will indeed be creepy with the use of colored lightings, potted plants covered with dark colored robes. You can also use candles for a creepier ambience. Ask your guests to talk in a very soft or whispering voice for the first ten minutes or so. You could also use a creepy music as a final touch.

| Serve food in trays and on tables that match with the party mood. And arrange for some competition like story telling, the spooky ones of course, and award the scariest one. Or a separate 'ghost-as-you-like' costume contest. Finally make sure that everyone leaves the place content with a fun filled heart. |
