Even though we all know that Halloween means all things spooky, but still it is great to reflect one set of concept when you’re hosting a party rather than keeping it all haywire.

So, the first thing you need to do is pick a theme for your Halloween Party. Here are some suggestions: Horror Movie Theme, Ghosts Theme, Pumpkin Theme, Witches Theme or Skull Theme.

You can also decide your theme depending on the one which you think would be easy to execute for you, from decor and set up, availability of supply and food related to that theme.

Now, once you’ve decided which theme you want to go for, it gives you a great direction while deciding all other things. What is important is that you give your guests the spookiest experience ever from the very moment they get the invitations till the very end when they leave with your spooky party favours.

The things in between would be creepy decor, signs, lighting, food set-up and plating. Here are some products you can buy for decor and set up:

  • Lighting: Lighting would be a very important aspect of your party and make sure you use this quirky and creepy skull string light. It will add an edge to your party. It is available on banggood.in for a price of Rs. 650.

Both of them are available on banggood.in for Rs. 197 and Rs. 506 respectively.
