My youngest was born right before Halloween (I was actually wondering if I&#8217;d be Trick of Treating in the Hospital). So&#8230; a<strong> Halloween Themed Birthday<\/strong> seems like a natural. But it also works as a regular Party. It turns out, <strong>planning a Halloween Party kids will love isn&#8217;t that hard!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now remember, these are little kids&#8230; so there will be no Bloody Axe Murderers, Zombie Brain Eaters or Scary Headless Ghosts jumping out at anyone! Instead.. I came up with a party loaded with Halloween fun, but still tame enough for a 7 year old to sleep without a night light afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>There are easy party organizing instructions, decoration ideas, \u00a0links to easy Cupcake recipes, plus there are\u00a0fun Halloween games,\u00a0Halloween activities, and some food, \u00a0and Halloween Party music\u00a0ideas to make the Halloween theme come alive.<\/p>\n<p>This works as a Birthday Party, but also works as a regular old Halloween Party for Kids!<\/p>\n<h2>Planning a Halloween Party Kids will LOVE<\/h2>\n<p>(Get out Your Spiral Notebook)\u00a0I\u2019m a firm believer in the spiral notebook for party planning. I make lists of everything. Guest list and RSVPs, decorations, games (and accessories needed for games), favors,and foods (along with a prep schedule). Everything goes in the notebook.<\/p>\n<p>You will need\u2026<\/p>\n<p>-a guest list<br \/>\n-invitations<br \/>\n-decorations<br \/>\n-games<br \/>\n-food<br \/>\n-Beverages<br \/>\n-activities<br \/>\n-party favors<br \/>\n-cake or cupcakes!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>My Most Important Piece of Advice!!!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s a party.. it&#8217;s supposed to be fun.\u00a0Get help&#8230; Hire a Teenager, or do a swap with another Parent.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t do more than you feel comfortable doing!<\/p>\n<p>Remember to laugh.. no one will notice if something is not right, unless YOU tell them ( unless, of course, the house burning down, in which case it&#8217;s fairly obvious)<\/p>\n<h2>Halloween Kids Party Invitations<\/h2>\n<p><a style=\"float: right; color: inherit; display: inline-block; text-decoration: none; text-align: center; margin: 1.5%; vertical-align: top; width: 200px;\" title=\"Halloween Themed Child Party Invitations - Fill In Style (20 Count) With Envelopes by m&amp;h invites\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Halloween-Themed-Child-Party-Invitations\/dp\/B015E88UAY?tag=germangirlina-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"prthmb\" style=\"-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; width: 200px; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 3px; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 3px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: none; border: 0; height: 100%; width: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51AdJC1VWBL.jpg\" alt=\"Halloween Themed Child Party Invitations - Fill In Style (20 Count) With Envelopes by m&amp;h invites\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" \/><\/span><span class=\"prnme\" style=\"display: block; color: #000000; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.1; font-family: arial; margin: 3px 0;\">Halloween Themed Child Party Invitations &#8211; Fill In Style (20 Count) With Envelopes by m&amp;h invites<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"prbtn\" style=\"height: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/easyproductdisplays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/buy5.gif\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can go a couple different ways with the Invitations&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>1.

burn off the craziness) games like Freeze Dance, there are loads of great games for kids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My suggestion- always plan two more games than you think you will have time for.<\/strong> Some games fall flat, others just go faster than expected. Having a few extra ideas in your back of tricks helps.<\/p>\n<p>I also like to have a few &#8220;passive&#8221; games&#8230; fill some jars with candy, and let the kids guess how many are in the jar. (If you have a few jars, it spreads the wins around&#8230; you decide if you want to let a kid win more than one).<\/p>\n<p>Print and Play Games are great for groups of all sizes!<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=249028&amp;u=1193378&amp;m=25067&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.shareasale.com\/image\/25067\/printable-halloween-games-hero.jpg\" alt=\"Halloween Party Games Pack: over 50 printables for all the family!\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/center>Ring Toss&#8230; Ghost Darts&#8230; Eyeball Races&#8230; unwrap the mummy&#8230;.
