As children, didn’t we all love Halloween? It was the perfect time for gathering with friends and family, and it always kicked off the festive season! But as the years passed, the parties became predictable and dull. The same old costumes, glaring lights, spooky music, and some boring Halloween-themed games were it—there was hardly anything different anywhere.

If you want things to be different this year, and if you’re planning to throw a Halloween party that people will remember for a very long time, read on!

1 – Understand Your Audience:

Planning a Halloween party for adults is easy—all you have to do is arrange for plenty of drinks, some good music, and great food and you’ve got things under control. If you’d like to add a fun element, you could arrange for a photo booth rental—these always add an extra dose of fun.

Planning a party exclusively for kids is a different ballgame altogether. You have to come up with a theme that children can relate to while ensuring that it’s not too scary. Game ideas also change accordingly; passing the parcel and scavenger hunts are some fun ideas.

But the most challenging parties are for families. You have to look for activities that people can enjoy along with their kids; for example, the toilet paper mummy game or face painting.

2 – Planning the Games:

You could hire a magician for some professional-quality tricks or you could learn online how to perform them yourself. Fake spiders, fake hands, and fake slimy worms are also some things you can buy. If you are planning games for the family, how about arranging a face-your-fear eating challenge? Blindfold guests and feed them an array of slimy and squiggly foods with unusual textures—ask them to guess the foods. Children can be asked to guess the number of lollipops and other treats in a jar!

3 – Hire a Photo Booth

A photo booth rental is a great way to ensure everyone is entertained throughout the whole party. In fact, our photo booth in Los Angeles has been a long-time favorite for party lovers. We can arrange for props and customized backdrops with Halloween themes; they’re sure to make for a fun event. Your guests will get access to unlimited prints, and they’ll even be able to share photos on social media instantly. For corporate parties, create unique hashtags that can be shared for maximum effect.

1 – Halloween Parties Don’t Have to Be Scary for Children:

Whether it’s scary masks or haunted houses, Halloween parties always involve elements of spookiness. Therefore, Halloween can be a scary and confusing time for young children. If children are going to be at your party, get rid of the scary stuff! You can still have fun without zombie costumes and macabre themes. Encourage parents to dress up as fun characters from popular kid’s shows. And if you decide to include scary elements, help your children not to be scared by teaching them empowering words. When someone scary approaches them, encourage them to shout “No!” or “Go Away!”

2 – Don’t Forget to Include Fun Activities:

If you are arranging a corporate Halloween party, hire fire jugglers and ask a bartender to attend so some Halloween-themed cocktails can be made. Of course there must be a DJ playing spooky music—it sets the mood! Hire our photo booth rental in Los Angeles to impress everyone. Some spooky props and customized scary backdrops are exactly what your guests need. And if you need fun ideas for the little ones, include kid-friendly props like pumpkins, hay bales, friendly monsters from Monsters Inc., and more. With our photo booth, guests can share photos instantly via email or social media. They also get unlimited prints! Are you looking for fun prop ideas and spooky backdrops?

3 – Planning Halloween-Themed Games:

There are plenty of spooky games that can add life and enjoyment to your party. Besides the classic apple bobbing, try some unique games like Halloween-themed scavenger hunts, Halloween-themed bingo, toilet paper mummy, or even a donut-eating challenge. If it’s a corporate party, look for spooky ways to break the ice; poison apple bobbing or crack the skull are some good ideas.

4 – Pay Attention to the Décor

The decorations are what get everyone in the mood for Halloween. You don’t only want attendees to remember the party—they should be taking pictures and sharing them on social media as well.

1. Photo Quality

The internet has added a whole new dimension to DIY. Thanks to the millions of DIY videos online, people have begun to take on ambitious projects on just about everything. However, often videos make DIY projects seem much easier than they really are. DIY photo booths for events are one of the things.

If are considering a DIY photo booth for a big even as an alternative to a modern, professional-quality DIY photo booth, here are a few reasons why renting is your better option.

2. Last-Minute Glitches

A lot of things can go wrong from technical glitches to improper lighting. DIY projects tend to leave things to chance or make you the one who has to solve the problems. But this isn’t the case with a rental photo booth in Los Angeles. At Selfie Booth Co., all our booths are delivered, installed, and taken away by our team. An attendant at the event ensures that you don’t have to worry about managing the crowd, tidying the place, finding the right props, or troubleshooting in an unexpected issue arise. With a professional assistant on-site, you can focus on the event while we take care of the booth.

3. Props and Backgrounds

Even the most basic packages at Selfie Booth Co. include a variety of props and backgrounds that can be customized to match your specifications. For example, with the Scrapbook package, you can take two copies of the same picture and use one for the scrapbook and the other for the guest. These photos will be put together by our attendant and made into a memorable scrapbook at the end of the event.

Besides fun props provided with your photo booth, you can customize the backdrop, add custom graphics and logos to the print, and even add your company branding on the booth.

When you have a million things to plan for your event, let Selfie Booth Co. take care of the entertainment when you rent a photo booth for a party, wedding, or corporate event.

1. Locking Dates

Selecting a date can be one of the most challenging parts of planning a reunion. You have to find a date where a good percentage of people will be able to attend. Often, reunions are held during the summer or around a holiday. Thanksgiving and Christmas are popular options because many people come home for those holidays and might be in town. If the event is going to be at the school you graduated from, check with them if there are restrictions about a date or big events at the school you need to work around.

2. Spread the Word

Create an event page on Facebook or a group on some other form of social media to include everyone from your graduating class. Send all information and updates about the event through these sources. You can also have to pick an online ticketing platform to sell tickets, collect RSVP, and funds.

3. Choose a Theme

Themed reunions can be a lot of fun. You could recreate your prom night and ask everyone to dress in attire from that era. Don’t be surprised if some of your classmates have their original prom outfits and choose to wear them! Or opt for a throwback themed party with things that were popular in that period. From food and clothes to music and even movies, pick everything from your era. Other possible themes are a casino night, a Hawaiian luau or a night at the movies.
