Earlier this week, we did a post on how to throw an awesome Halloween party. Today we’re back with part 2, showing you some more ideas for spending time with friends on Halloween.

Whether you’re ready to don a costume and party or just looking to watch scary movies with friends, odds are you’ll end up being social on Halloween. If your group doesn’t have an official plan yet, consider hosting a round of drinks or snacks at your place before heading out. Even if you plan to stay in and avoid the chaos, it’s not too late to get everyone over for some early evening fun. 

Here are some more Halloween party ideas to aid in your October 31st preparation:

Drink Options:

Every good hostess has a variety of beverages to offer her guests, even if it’s the choice between tap water and San Pellegrino. Halloween is your chance to get wild, however, and show off your inner bartender!

Alcoholic cocktail

Over 21 and ready to kick things off? Try these “BOO-berry” Moscow Mules from Lauren Conrad’s blog. Not only is this drink based on a classic beverage, but the recipe lives on beyond October.

Non-alcoholic cocktail

Under 21 or wanting to limit the debauchery? You can still make some delicious and Instagram-worthy cocktails. Lemon, mango, and orange combine in a fruity and festive pitcher that looks and tastes like Halloween. Bonus points if you leave the pitcher next to these DIY candy corn vases.

Make a centerpiece

It wouldn’t be halloween without pumpkins! If you don’t want to get your hands dirty and carve through orange goo, these modern painted pumpkins from The Beautydojo are perfect. 

Line them up near your entryway and outside your door to let your guests know exactly where the party is. You can also grab three pumpkins in different sizes to make a large centerpiece arrangement.
