Who said Halloween was just about Trick-or-Treat and ghost stories?!
As with any occasion Halloween can be transformed into an absolutely magical event, which children will love and the grown-up's will enjoy!
Halloween doesn't have to be scary, why not make the most of Autumn's finest, and make it a lovely, family orientated, cosy affair, with apple bobbing and tasty stews, then out into the garden for
a spot of treat hunting? You could get the children involved with making Halloween inspired biscuits, cakes and other treats, as well as decorating the venue with homemade, personal decorations.
If you have older children, are having friends around, or throwing an extravagent party, there are so many different ways to incorporate as many spooky bits and bobs as possible, including cakes, cocktails, and candles, as well as the traditional spooky costumes and party games!
Halloween can also be a much more elegant occasion. Substitute buffet style food for a sit down meal at an ornately decorated dinner table, or decadent canopes.
There's no reason why the theme has to be black, orange, and green, try rich purples, golds, and silvery whites for a more grown-up take on Halloween.
Happy Halloween!
