Halloween party planning is a big deal; the only thing that you know about the decorations is that they have to be scary and impressive.
Most people think that it means redecorating the entire house.
While it's true that the best and most impressive houses on Halloween are the ones that have been decorated inside out and top to bottom, it doesn't necessarily mean that the decoration will be really expensive or that you'll have to stay up every night for the month of October cutting out paper or carving pumpkins.
Here are a few simple ways to make some quick and impressive Halloween decorations for your party.
If you aren't up for carving lots of jack o' lanterns or you aren't that creative when it comes to carving, you can take black spray paint and paint pumpkins black.
If you've got the time, carve the eyes and mouth and put a candle in.
If you're short on time, make the features using a stencil and white paint.
If you've got a lot of clocks lying around the house wind them up or buy cheap ones that will tick loudly.
Set them at random times and with random alarms.
If you've got a carriage clock or a cuckoo clock, a Halloween party is the best time to bring it out.
The food has to be impressive too, use Halloween fruit baskets or Halloween arrangements assembled in pumpkin shaped containers.
These Halloween gifts baskets and fruit bouquets have ghosts, cats and bats carved out of pineapples and look very impressive as centerpieces.
