Virtual Halloween Party Ideas Create and Send Invitations

Source: bulletinline.com We should not let any virus make us forget about rituals and culture. If this Halloween were to be the normal as 2019’s, you would have sent out invites. So why not this time? There are two options, either you can DIY and unleash your creative side or opt for digital invites.

You can create digital invites and place the meeting link so that they just have to click and enter the room. Many platforms offer you creative outlets for the same. Canva is one such platform where you can design invites with free templates available. Send them via mail or message.

Decide Halloween Theme

Instead of telling you how to decorate your whole, we will provide you with a few scary and unique ideas. This year many people are opting for recreating the movies’ ambiance. Nothing can be better than that.

Why? They are easy to recreate, and you can relate it to at another level. What kind of movie can you go for? We would suggest horror or something related to magic, like Harry Potter, Wizard of Oz, etc.

Get Rolling With Eerie Playlist

Source: vox-cdn.com Music is an essential part of any party. Customize your own playlist or download the one available on the internet. Make sure the playlist has songs that resemble the eerie and spooky tunes. Only then it is going to make sense for the ​Halloween party night. Few classic Halloween songs are Monster mash, this is Halloween, thriller, superstition, I put a spell on you, and many more.

Tip: Share the playlist to the guests beforehand, so that they can play it alongside the meeting.

Arrange Costume Competition

Source: ross.pa.us Halloween is incomplete without costumes. Arrange a contest where everyone had to dress spookily. The one with the best outfit will win the trophy! However, ​planning for costume competition is not as easy as it looks.

You will have to make rules, as in only store-bought costumes are allowed or PG costumes.

Even DIY costume contests will also be fun to observe. If not particular preferences for an outfit, you can set a theme as well.

For example, if the decor is related to the Harry Potter theme, ask everyone to dress only in the movie’s character. Assign the judges, make categories, and arrange for the prizes. This is going to be fun!

Tip: If children are attending the party, make rules accordingly! Also, send out the details in advance so that they can prepare.

Decide on Halloween Entertainment

Movie Marathon
