Top Tips for Hosting a Spooky Halloween Event
1. Create Spine-Chilling Invitations
Start the Halloween festivities with invitations that set the mood. Use dark, textured paper and eerie graphics or wax seals to add a touch of sophistication. For a family-friendly event, involve kids in making the invitations to add a personal touch. Send invites to friends, family, and neighbors for a well-attended event!
2. Serve Spooky boozy beverages.
No Halloween party is complete without festive drinks. Follow our Halloween Hosting Tips and stock up on ONEHOPE’s Halloween-approved wines. Be sure to order by October 22nd for timely delivery. Choose our rich, blood-red Cabernet Sauvignon, or add a spooky twist by tinting white wines with food coloring to match your theme. These drinks will surely impress your guests!
3. Host a Creative Costume Contest.
Encourage guests to showcase their best costumes by hosting a contest. Choose a theme that matches your decor, or let guests get creative. Categories could include scariest, funniest, or most original costumes. Ensure you have extra bottles of wine on hand to reward the winners!
4. Decorate with Haunting Flair.
Transform your space into a haunted mansion with decorations like cobwebs, jack-o-lanterns, and flickering candles. Balance spooky and cute elements to fit your party’s vibe. Add eerie music to complete the haunted atmosphere.
5. Offer Sinister Snacks.
Delight your guests with Halloween-themed snacks such as “Mummy” hot dogs, “Witch Finger” breadsticks, and “Monster Eye” meatballs. Check out ONEHOPE’s snack bundles for a more straightforward option, perfect for small gatherings or party favors.
6. Play Spooky Tunes
Create a lively atmosphere with a Halloween-themed playlist. Include spooky sound effects or classic Halloween songs like Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and “Monster Mash” to keep guests dancing.
7. Set Up a Kids’ Corner
For events with younger guests, set up a dedicated area with Halloween-themed games, treats, and family-friendly movies. Provide a special mocktail for kids while the adults enjoy our cabernet. And while your 21+ guests enjoy a glass of cab so red even Dracula would drink it, don’t forget to mix up a yummy mocktail for the little ghouls, too.
8. Plan a Spooky Scavenger Hunt
Engage guests with a Halloween scavenger hunt around your home or yard. Use punny clues and hide spooky prizes. For kids, include candies or small toys; for adults, consider a bottle from our Iconic Collection.
9. Capture Memories at a Photo Booth
Set up a Halloween-themed photo booth with costumes and props. Use a phone tripod so guests can take their own spooky snapshots.
10. Distribute Halloween Party Favors
End the evening by giving guests Halloween treat bags filled with candy and small toys. For the 21+ crowd, include a mini ONEHOPE bottle for a post-party toast.
