Halloween is a magical time for kids — and, let’s be honest, for moms, too. From costumes and candy to tricks and treats, we’re here to help you throw the ultimate #spookyszn bash.
Here’s how to create a party that will leave everyone grinning like a jack-o'-lantern!
Get people excited, and make sure they can fit it into their busy schedules, with fun and festive invitations. You can create physical invites—perhaps shaped like pumpkins, ghosts, or bats—or a digital e-vite to set the theme.
Your invites at-a-glance — here’s what to include:
Pro Tip: If you want to go all out, send a little treat with the invite, like these super cute Missing Body Parts, Spooky Spiders, or Witches Brew Candy Clubs options. This not only excites the kids but sets the theme for the party, so you don’t have to!
Halloween offers endless possibilities to deck out your space. For kids, you may want to emphasize the fun over the frightful. Whimsical and colorful Halloween decor that’s more about the “boo!” and less about the “aghh!”
Easy-to-assemble and adorable decoration ideas that are sure to delight:
No Halloween party is complete without a costume contest! Let guests of all ages show off their creativity. Create different categories and age groups to make sure everyone gets a chance to shine.
Here are a few ideas to get you started: Scariest Costume, Funniest Costume, Most Creative Costume, and Most Magical Costume. Level up your costume game with our Meri Meri Superhero Costumes, Mermaid Wrap, and Shark.
Keep the prizes Halloween-themed—like pumpkin-shaped trophies or our little trick or treat bags filled with candy, stickers, and other small surprises.
Finish itoff with a costume parade where the kids show off their outfits to spooky music.
Food is always a big part of any party, and for a kids' Halloween party, the more themed, the better! Have fun creating spooky snacks that are as tasty as they are Instagram-worthy.

It’s always smart to to make safety a priority, particularly at kids’ parties. Be sure to have adult supervision, especially for the games and crafts!
