Is your child having a Halloween party? Is your home in disarray? Preparing for a Halloween party can be a daunting task. Outside of making sure you have the right costume and foods, your home also needs the right kind of attention to welcome the spooky guests for your party. With the right preparation, your little one will have a party to remember.
Keep Snacks Simple
Oftentimes parents are confused on what kind of foods are needed for their child’s Halloween party, but keeping the food simple will be less of a mess. Desserts and finger foods will work perfectly for children of all ages. This will also cut down on how much cleaning will need to be done. Paper plates, plastic utensils, and paper cups will make for an easy cleanup as well.
Use a Halloween Advent Calendar for Cleaning
Just like using the calendar for doing a countdown for your Halloween party, you can use the same calendar for preparation for your party. Instead of using the calendar for only counting down until the day of the party, you can also use it for cleaning and preparing your home for your guests. You can fill the calendar with snacks and prizes for every day the party gets closer and for every day your home becomes more ready for your guests.
Don’t Overwhelm With Decorations
Making your home spooky before the party is a fun way to get ready for it, but are the decorations you have too much? Decorating your home for your child’s Halloween party is motivation for getting ready, but too many decorations can be overwhelming and can take longer to clean up. Being moderate about the decorations and knowing where to put them will allow you the time to quickly clean once the party is over. However, if you do choose to go extreme with the decorations, making a game out of cleaning at the end of the night will make it fun for the whole family.
While gathering for spooky Halloween fun is great for family and friends, having fun in a clean and easy way will save you time and energy after the party during cleanup.
