A few of the popular motifs for Halloween parties are based on age group. For the young ones, there is Sesame Street, Cinderella, Snow White, and Beauty and the Beast. Party themes that are based on fairytales also work for teens and tweens, including Harry Potter, Batman (or any other popular action figure), Casper, and Pirates. If your party is at a farmhouse and on the countryside, themes such as Scarecrow will put people in the mood. For the adults, party motifs include Dracula or Vampires, Witches and Wizards, Monsters, Demons, and/or according to Era (e.g. 60s, 70s, Victorian period). If this doesn’t suit you, you can even choose a motif close to your heart, such as a popular opera or a Shakespearean drama (think Tempest or Macbeth).

With your motif or theme in mind, you must consider that this should be seen in all the elements of your party: the invitations, the decorations, the costumes, the food and drinks, and the party favors. The way you welcome your guests in your house also must fit the theme, as well as the games and activities you plan to carry out. In other words, the motif will determine everything that you’ll have in your party. Having to stick to a theme is what will make your celebration interesting – even your guests have to rack their imagination and creativity in coming up with a suitable costume!

In this section, we’ll introduce to you some of the most popular Halloween themes, complete with suggestions on how to make them happen.
