How about bringing the party closer to you? Throw your own Halloween Party and make it the most unforgettable one yet. Check the list we curated for you to help ease your worries and get your party rocking.
1. Invitations
So often, we are so busy with party planning that we forget to send out invitations. One of the most crucial things to do when organising a party is to send invitations so your attendees can save the date and properly arrange their calendars.
We are spoiled for choices with a variety of methods, including printed invitations, phone calls, and emails. Canva is your best friend to create your invitation, or you can hire a graphic designer. Remind those you've invited to respond to your invitations. Knowing how many guests will attend the party can help you arrange it more effectively.
2. Know your party size
Are we throwing a Kanye party for Halloween? Or are we taking it down a notch? Either way, make your party an unforgettably one by crowd control - not too hectic but not too awkward by making a guest list.
3. Do you have a dress code?
Who do we want to dress up for this Halloween - a dissociating Chris Pine, Will Byers crying in the backseat, Vecna drinking iced coffee, Tinder Swindler? Or Cassie from Euphoria?

Country Living’s list of 50 classic Halloween films (and how to stream them on Hulu, Netflix, or Prime Video)
Every Halloween movie in chronological order
Given the number of reboots, sequels, and remakes, putting the Halloween movies in chronological order might be difficult. It's not impossible, though, because the majority of them appear around Michael Myers, who is pursuing Laurie Strode.
10. Trick Or Treat
Gather your friends and family, and head out for some trick-or-treating around the neighbourhood. Read our blog (here) to find out more about where and what you can do during this season.
