Halloween Entertaining:
Halloween doesn’t always have to be about the kids! Why not make staying in to pass out candy to the trick-or-treaters an adult affair? Create a lounge on the porch for guests to relax and enjoy the spooky evening as they take turns passing out candy to trick-or-treaters.
Keep it simple with the entertainment:
- Have silent retro Halloween movies looping in the back ground.
- Purchase great spooky sound tracks to set the mood.
- If your friends are crafty or competitive, think about adding bobbing for apples or pumpkin decorating.
And if bobbing for apples aren’t for your crowd, how about a “Bobbing for Apples” cocktail?
Warm Apple Bourbon Punch

Make it a pot luck, you provide the buffet décor and ask each guest to bring their favorite savory dish to fill the table.
Since your guests have the savory dishes covered, go all out on the sweet stuff…it is Halloween afterall!
