5 Easy Steps to a Spooky DIY Halloween Party

It’s less than two weeks until Halloween. Here are five easy steps to get ready for that party:

1. Pick a Theme

House of Paint

Nothing is more magical than All Hallows Eve, the night when kids and adults alike transform themselves into magical creatures. Of course, magic reminds us of wizard school, which means we love this idea of a Harry Potter Halloween party. Here are 100 Harry Potter Halloween party ideas from House of Paint.

2. Invite Your Victims

Pinterest

If you haven’t already, now’s the time to lure people to your home to celebrate. For the ideal invite idea, we turn to Pinterest, which has thousands of options. We love this monster invitation by HelloLucky.com.

3. Decorate your Haunted House

Grim Hollow

Making Halloween crafts is tons of fun, enables you to use supplies you already have around the house, and keeps you from having to pay for overpriced decorations at those cheesy seasonal stores. Check out our Halloween DIY Craft Ideas Pinterest page for instructions on how to make tons of creepy crafts, including the paper mache skull you see above. 

4. Label your Poisons
