Halloween Party Theme Ideas

Halloween is an annual holiday celebration and a tradition since age-old European years. It originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts.




Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating and carving jack-o-lanterns. Around the world, as days grow shorter and nights get colder, people continue to usher in the season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats.

In the Philippines, Halloween is celebrated in a different way compare to Western Countries. It starts from the eve of October 31 to November 2 due to the strong catholic background of the Filipinos. Most of these times are spent remembering their dead loved ones and usually find most people in cemeteries or in memorial parks.

However, parties and mall events are still expected where you and your family can enjoy and spend more time together. And if you are hosting one, you might consider some of the ideas below:


1. Kids Party With DIY Photo Booth

3. Haunted House Party Theme

Hosting a party at home is a great advantage to save money for the event. Making it look like Haunted is a good twist.

Superheroes are some of the most popular costumes worn by trick-or-treaters at Halloween. There are so many different options available for this theme starting from cupcakes with superhero logos and guests wearing their favorite superhero cape or mask. Since most kids love superheroes, it would be a nice theme for a kids party or those who are kids at heart.

This can be one of the most involved and exciting parties that you can throw. Decorate your home or backyard with Harry-themed objects, like the Sorting Hat, broomsticks, golden Snitches, magic wands and a cauldron.
