Mix and match tips to fit your preference and check your haunted house or party setting over for any hazards your guests may run into. For a safe Halloween party, plan ahead and remove any possible dangers.

Halloween parties make a great alternative to trick-or treating. For an incredible, well-put together Halloween party, it's best to make arrangements well in advance. Here's some party planning tips for a terrifying good time.

Pick a party theme and decorate accordingly. For example, a haunted house, graveyard or mausoleum theme would encourage specific costume types such as ghosts, vampires and zombies. Decorate with spider webs, tombstones and fake body parts. Send out theme appropriate invitations.

Try a history or time-era theme, from the Victorian era to the 1970s and 80s and have everyone dress accordingly. Decorate in accordance to the time era and serve old-fashioned, homemade snacks.

For Adults, try a couples theme and have everyone come in pairs. Choose real couples or character couples. For instance, Romeo and Juliet or Tom & Jerry. To expand on this idea, group themes for a larger party are oodles of fun. Imagine answering the door to The Three Musketeers, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, or Dumb and Dumber. See the potential? It makes for great memories and pictures!

Make sure you have the right music. Hire a professional DJ (see What to ask a DJ when hiring click here) and ensure he has some Halloween songs such as Monster Mash, Ghostbusters, Thriller or Time warp. There are very few scary/Halloween songs so having music played to a theme such as an 80s night or a 60s night or a rappers night might be more appropriate. Contact Alan at star DJs for more details. If it’s a kids party ensure that the music played is appropriate for that age group. Perhaps a pops stars party might work well.

Get your party invitations out 1-2 weeks before the party. To avoid any confusion, clearly state instructions about themes, costumes, and when the party ends.

For minors, adult supervision is necessary for safety reasons as well as preventing any property damage. Adults can help with the party and enforce rules, while the guests have fun.

Take pictures and arrange them in a photo album to show your guests after the party. Better yet, Buy a huge photo album and add pictures every year, after your annual Halloween Party. It's hilarious to watch how the costumes evolve over the years.

Another idea is to have someone take Polaroid pictures of each guest as they arrive. Give everyone their pic as they leave your party in remembrance of the occasion..

If you're planning your party outdoors, be prepared for inclement weather. Have other arrangements ready at a moments notice.

Allow some guests to arrive early and help with the Halloween decorations. This will ease your workload and add some creative minds.

And plenty of it. What's a party without goodies? Try dressing up your food to look like gross things such as eyeballs, body parts, etc. Make the punch look like blood.

Don't let the kids leave empty handed. Hand out gifts to game contest winners and make up some party favour bags with Halloween candy.
