It’s the last week of October and you know what that means - Halloween is round the corner! Halloween has always been the symbol of everything outdoorsy - trick-or-treating, meeting up with friends, admiring those scary costumes donned by the kids walking down the street, showing off your costume to the folks in your neighborhood and all that.
Dress Up for the Best Halloween Costume Party - All the Fun While Safe in Your House!
But this might not be the typical year to safely go out to have fun on Halloween. In fact, chances are that where you stay, you’ve been advised to stay at home in quarantine. But don’t let the lockdown lock up your fun spirit!
So what if you have to make do with Halloween celebrations at home? You can still have a great time. Here are a few tips to wear your costume and show it off, too!
Plan it all out with your folks
An online Halloween party bash is a thing. Discuss it out with your family, friends and neighbors well in advance and have them all aboard. Send out the meeting invite in advance along with the agenda.
It could typically start off with brief greetings, followed by viewing and showing off your costumes, photo sessions, playing spooky games and maybe winding up with a scary story or creepy music.

Games bring a party alive
There are plenty of Halloween virtual games suggestions online. Check them out and get everything ready in advance. You can find a few ideas here.
It might even be useful to send out the game instructions along with the agenda in advance to save time during the actual meetup. The important thing is to keep everyone engaged.
Halloween treats and activities
This might also be a great time to show off Halloween treats you prepared and maybe share recipes with each other. These activities could range from pumpkin carving contests for adults to Halloween riddle quizzes for kids with prizes.

Let the costumes speak!
Costumes can and should play a major role even in a virtual party. Why? Simply because it’s fun and being quarantined at home shouldn’t stop you from flaunting your stylish attire.
Speaking of awesome Halloween costumes, if you’re yet to choose one, why don’t you check these out? Care to be a zombie? Or the Ghost Bride? How about transforming your kid into a scary Mr. Pumpkin? These are just a few of the many options for costumes to give everyone the creeps, even across a computer screen. You could even shoot and share short scary videos of your antics while wearing your costume.
How about a contest to rate the best costume? The gift can be some homemade treats dropped over at the winner’s doorstep or a gift voucher. Plus, it’s lots of fun for adults and kids to mark scores for each costume (like they do in the fancy dance contests). So, it’s a win-win for everyone.
Halloween treats
What’s a Halloween without treats? People have been very creative in improvising in the current situation. You can send all gifts as online coupons or vouchers. Another idea is the reverse trick-or-treating. It involves adults dropping off small packets of candies or homemade cookies at the doorsteps in their neighbourhood. Check out these simple, 4-ingredient Halloween cookie recipes here.
Be prepared to shake up this Halloween and make it as unique as it is spooky fun. Let your costumes speak for you and have a safe, great time with your family this Halloween.
Time for action! Check out cool costumes, just for you.
