Making a Guest List – and Checking It Twice!
Let’s face it – you wouldn’t want to exclude anyone out of the fun, but the reality is that people also have their own time and priorities. So make sure your potential guests will be at your party by asking them if they’re available on the given time and date! Invitations with a RSVP can help keep track of the number of people who will turn up at your party, and this will determine how much food, refreshments, party favors, etc. you need to prepare. It would certainly pay to check your guest list twice!

Where, When, and What
When considering the location, date, and time for your party, you should take into account the convenience, age group, and the accessibility to the guests. If you have a lot of children coming over, invite their parents and your friends for a fun clean-up after the party.
Spellbinding Halloween Invitations
It is always the unique invitations that make a big impact on guests, so make sure they’ll appreciate your by adding your own personal touch! To add a Halloween feel, haunted houses and tombstones are great ideas for designing the perfect invitation – don’t forget to add droplets of blood on them! Mail or personally deliver the invitations at least two weeks beforehand. To check up on the availability of your guests, give them a follow-up call or include your contact details so they can inform you whether they are going or not. Lastly, if you have a theme and a dress code, specify it on your invitation so that guests have plenty of time to prepare.
Creepy Halloween Food
Refresh your refreshments and party by adding a little spookiness in them! Plastic insects (spiders, bugs, cockroaches, etc), lizards, snakes, and spider webs can be added to the refreshment table to add a ghoulish feel on your refreshment table. Different-colored ice cubes can also add a lot of color to the drinks – and to the party!
